Spirit Cave Man

The 10,600-year-old mummy of Spirit Cave Man and ancient remains found elsewhere could rewrite the history of the human occupation of the continent, according to anthropologists. But because the finds are controversial, Nevada officials and some scientists have repressed the information about the discoveries. To see the latest stories about the controversy and view a multi-media on-line museum of Spirit Cave Man produced by Mullen, visit here.
