Who Was Who : II

Quote:
Like other early American skeletons, the Kennewick remains exhibit a number of morphological features that are not found in modern populations. For all craniometric dimensions, the typicality probabilities of membership in modern populations were zero, indicating that Kennewick is unlike any of the reference samples used . . . The Kennewick skeleton can be excluded, on the basis of dental and cranial morphology, from recent American Indians. More importantly, it can be excluded (on the basis of typicality probabilities) from all late Holocene human groups. There are indications, however, that the Kennewick cranium is morphologically similar to Archaic populations from the northern Great Basin region, and to large Archaic populations in the eastern woodlands.

Interesting, but far too many 50 cent words used. This "archy-speak" is used to confuse the less technical reader and those unfamiliar with their jargon. I could re-write the journal to the point where anyone could comprehend it, but that would defeat their intention and probably land me in their sights.
