8th Grade/ Skeletons Speak!

NO HOMEWORK- There is no physical evidence that human life originated in the Americas. No bones or fossils of the precursors of humans, such as those unearthed on other continents have ever been found in either North or South America. The earliest evidence of human presence in the Americas is at most only 30,000 years old. Our investigation of the America’s will begin with an examination of a skeleton found near Kennewick, Washington. Was this an unsolved murder? An accidental or natural death? What was the story behind this skeleton and how can it help explain the history of the early Americas? The investigation only gets deeper!
