"A fast and exciting read. . . . This survey of Owsley's career
will appeal to both science and legal buffs." --Publishers Weekly
The story of the Smithsonian's brilliant forensic anthropologist
and the 9,000-year-old skeleton that sparked his landmark lawsuit
against the U.S. government When he is not studying ancient
skeletons, Doug Owsley is enlisted by the State Department and the
FBI to identify remains. He has worked on some of the most
notorious tragedies in recent history--Bosnia, Waco, 9/11 and
Jeffrey Dahmer's victims among them. When an anthropologist in
Kennewick, WA, calls Owsley to help study a 9,000 year-old
caucasoid skeleton, he gets caught up in a battle against the
Justice Department and Indian tribes who claim the skeleton is
Native American and should be buried and not analyzed. Owsley,
backed by scientists worldwide, files suit against the government
and is now at the forefront of a landmark case--currently pending a
ruling in the U.S. District Court--that may alter repatriation laws
and have a significant impact on the classic views of Native
Americans, migration patterns, and anthropology, as well as our
understanding of prehistory.
