The important aspects of the discovery of Kennewick Man include:
- The remains are the oldest human remains ever found in North America.
- The skeleton showed that his diet was primarily fish, nuts, and berries.
- The discovery proved that humans lived in North America 9,000 years ago.
(Note: While there are hypotheses about migration patterns, the remains themselves do not conclusively prove that Native Americans migrated from Asia, and the artifacts are not widely noted for showing advanced carving skills compared to other finds. The first three points listed are widely acknowledged as significant findings.)
