Kennewick Man
This man was found on a bank of the Columbia River in Kennewick, Washington. He was one of the most complete skeletons ever found. This skeleton was studied for decades. In 2015, it was revealed that he had the most similar DNA to Native Americans. This led to plenty of controversy. The remains were then returned for reburial as the Umatilla people and other tribes demanded. He actually became part of a 9-year court case between scientists and tribal people.

Naia
One of the first Americans, Naia was a teenager who died tragically by falling in an underwater cave in Mexico. The cave dried up about 12,000 years ago and was then nicknamed “dark hole”. This teen’s genetic makeup resembled an isolated group that came from Asia. She succumbed to a harsh upbringing since men were violent at the time, often engaging in fights.
