The 13,000-Year-Old Child Found In Montana – And What His DNA Revealed About The First Americans
But they are not the most important thing about the Anzick child.
The most important thing about him is that he was cared for — twelve thousand years ago by the people who buried him, and again in 2014 by the people who brought him back.
That care, across twelve millennia, is the thread that connects the first Americans to the last ones — and to every generation in between.
He was buried with red ochre and a hundred beautiful tools.
He was returned to the earth with ceremony and respect.
