What conclusion did Owsley erroneously come to about Kennewick Man's bones?

They were of a dinosaur
Not related to present-day Native Americans
They were of a mammoth
Related to present-day Africans

Answer

Owsley erroneously concluded that Kennewick Man was not related to present-day Native Americans. This was based on the fact that the bones showed signs of a lifestyle that was not typical of Native Americans, such as evidence of hunting large game and eating a diet that was rich in protein.
