"The answer is even longer than your question," Dawson said. "Take a look at this Folsom Man. Everything he did was important—the way he made his point, the way he balanced his lance, the way he set up his ambush. If he didn't do it right, his family starved, or maybe a bison gored him. I never enjoyed doing a job which, if I stopped to think of it, didn't matter if it got done or not."

Dawson said he felt that what anthropologists were doing was important. While modern man knows a great deal about many things, he knows very little about himself and his long history on the planet.

"This Folsom Man had to be a pretty select specimen, both physically and mentally. To hunt the animals he did on foot he had to be fast, and agile, and plenty smart. The ones who weren't, wouldn't survive, and so he had selective breeding working for him for generations. And yet we know that one day Folsom Man wasn't around any more. Something went wrong. We don't know what and I think we should know. I think it's important to know everything we can about man, and most of his million or so years on earth he's been a hunter, like Folsom."
