Wonder what the mtdna turned up. This will be an interesting thing to keep an eye on.

The answer is obvious :
It's a weather balloon

Never heard of this. Went to the link and read, and it is interesting, but it would help if a more recognized authority was releasing the information.

I wonder if it was an illegal alien

[purple flowers]

I believe this is a very uncommon deformation in regular human children. no Aliens required .
the bones in the nose do not grow past infancy. I can't remember why though but maybe a guess is like maybe the blood supply is missing to those bones or something like that . say maybe it can' expand if it has no morrow and is not hollow types/shapes of bone.
some little girl had her face bones replaces with healthy bones by cosmetic surgery.
if the surgery was not done she would have been retarded because the brain can't grow properly.. I think is what they were talking about. it was a condition.. can't remember what it was called though.
I doubt aliens are required for any deformities.
except maybe for horns.. we are de -evolving after all .

Starchild had Native American MTDNA

Hi

This was talked about on the forum a year or two ago. If you can't find it then maybe a forum moderator deleted it. The outcome was that the Starchild and the lady it was found with were mtdna tested and it turned out that they were not mother and child because they were different Native American haplogroups. I don't remember what the autosomal results were, maybe it was inconclusive, but I think the starchild had some non-human genes (or some unidentifiable genes). Too bad it can't be ydna tested.

Nope.. They didn't mark the borders back then.

Wikipedia says the starchild skull mtdna is halogroup C. Doesn't say if it was FGS tested. I wonder what the subclade/subhaplogroup is.
The mtdna of the adult female skeleton is haplogroup A.

Sure they did, even back then. I would call them Tribal borders.

Extreme tangent, here: That's what the earliest writings in the Irish language appear to have been; tribal border markers.

Okay, now back to the regularly scheduled discussion of how the ancient remains of a tragically deformed child are speculated to be evidence of extraterrestrial visitors.

I don't believe it is deformed.
I think it is a hybrid of some kind or some kind of hominid.

Science now says that humans and neanderthals (a hominid) did interbreed and Neanderthal genes are found in humans around the world (except for Africans). I think there were/are a variety of hominids that breeded with each other and with humans. I've seen enough in my lifetime to believe that people are a mix of not only ethnicities and races but also species. I know of a person (on tv) who claims to be of Swiss descent but easily looks like she's a hybrid austrolopithicane or something. There are a lot of oddities (varieties) in modern humans and I think there are unique mixes here and there. There is also Java, Peking Man, Ardi, Pygmies, orangutuans, etc.

What if the starchild is half "gray alien"?

"Grays" also look like hominids and may be related to us thru some common ancestor we don't know about.
