    If he was European he had to set out by boat.
    Which would have been possible. Polynesia was colonized about the same time. In 9000 BP the Earth was already much warmer and with Island hopping (British Isles, Iceland, Greenland, New Foundland) it would have easely been possible for humans to reach America. It could have been fishers who lived on Iceland and got off course (as deepseafishing was practised according to some historians).
    No in 9000 BP it would have been possible to reach America from Europe I think.

    well that is very possible Stig. However, factually speaking, the Pacific Islander migrations certainly didn't happen over night. Much like the Aborigines, the migration out to sea probably happened in waves, where no more than a tribe consisting of maybe a couple hundred of people or less just kind of set sail (for reasons unknown, although most likely because they were in search of food without competition). But maybe only 1 tribe landed in certain archipelagos and from there, expanded to nearby Islands.

    The Kennewick man is certainly an anomaly, and maybe he was a fisherman who was badly blown off course, and perhaps landed in the US purely by luck (although as a castaway). Has there been more evidence of a white migration across the seas predating Maddog and the Vikings? Or are there other specimens like the Kennewick man? I guess I'm kind of skeptical at this point until more evidence is found. The Native Tribes are doing themselves a huge disfavour by blocking any research on this guy, because it will likely be an interest by the scientific community for a long time, and only stir up hype.
