Another response to a Stereotype of the Month Entry about Kennewick Man:
>> The reconstruction that was done of the appearance of KW man looks like anybody you might see at a pow wow with the exception of the nose. That nose would be notable at a Sons of Italy picnic. I don't see how they can reconstruct a nose with no fossil. <<
I agree. Even if the "Capt. Picard" reconstruction were completely accurate—which I don't think it is—I don't think you can say he looks more Caucasian than Asian-Amerindian.
People were obviously swayed by the model's bald pate. If had been a computer drawing with a full head of hair, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
