The 9,000-Year-Old Child’s Tooth Found In An Alaska Cave — And The DNA Test That Revealed A Lost Population Of The First Americans
Its improbability does not diminish its significance.
It amplifies it.
The tooth did not reveal the child’s name.
It did not reveal the language she would have spoken had she lived to speak.
It did not reveal what she was called by the community that grieved her death, or what that community believed about where she went after she died, or what ceremonies — if any — accompanied her departure.
These things are lost.
