Nooooooooo!  A profoundly misguided government policy
now grants native Americans the right to claim *any*
ancient skeletons as their ancestors, thus giving them
the right to bury the remains far from scientific
investigation.  Paleontology in the US is effectively
slain until the policy is overturned.  Let us hope no
scientifically valuable human skeletons are discovered
in North America any time soon.
