He walked on this island 10,300 years ago.
He ate the salmon of these rivers.
He navigated these waters.
He lived and died in this landscape that, in its fundamental character, is still the same landscape — still the same islands, the same forests, the same waters, the same salmon runs — inhabited now by the biological descendants of the people he was one of.
The cave kept its secret for 10,300 years.
The science finally read what was written there — in carbon isotopes and ancient DNA, in the specific chemical signatures of a life lived by the sea.
