4. Kennewick Man Controversy.

An interesting controversy surrounds the discovery of the remains of a man who died some 9,000 to 10,000 years ago along the Columbia River near Kennewick, Washington. Some claim he was an ancestor of the Native American's who now live in the Pacific Northwest, others claim he was a European nomadic hunter. The panel of experts examining these remains have issued an initial report.

To review the controversy over this report, visit the following sites http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennewick_Man
