The Ancient One/Kennwick Man (North America, 8,500 Years Ago)
About this episode
The episode discusses the discovery of an ancient skeleton known as Kennewick Man and what it reveals about prehistoric life in North America.
In July of 1996, a skeleton was discovered on the banks of the Columbia River. It belonged to a man who died 8,500 years ago, in a world so distant from our own it hardly seems real, but thanks to detailed studies of his remains, we know more about that man than almost anybody else in the distant past.
