the mathematical distinction that the teacher added would be to not have charlemagne as you're directestor. [laughter] when i first started looking into this, this story let me to a host of anxiety about identity and history. and i stumbled into this for the story of kenny wittman. we found a skeleton, people found a skeleton on the banks of fervor in washington. a local amateur archaeologist was the first to get. he laid it out on the table and the first press person that was in your shot at him announced that the skeleton had, quote, caucasoid like features. this one single feature rolled down the hill of the modern media and turned into one of the greatest snowballs of amateur genealogy and history. every magazine that you have probably ever heard of wrote a story about how they're now tended to be a pre-native american population on this top continent. a caucasoid like population that predated the native americans. now, the common assumption today is that the fossil record shows the clovis points, the spearhead that date back about 12,000 years. that is around the time that we thi
