StarChild Skull *Human-Alien-Hybrid*

StarChild Skull *Human-Alien-Hybrid* ?

The Starchild skull is an abnormal human-like skull which was found in Mexico. Its origin and nature are contested by scientists and paranormal enthusiasts.

The skull is abnormal in several aspects. A dentist determined, based on examination of the upper right maxilla found with the skull, that it was a child's skull, 4.5 to 5 years in age.However, the volume of the interior of the starchild skull is 1600 cubic centimeters, which is 200 cm³ larger than the average adult's brain, and 400 cm³ larger than an adult of the same approximate size. The orbits are oval and shallow, with the optic nerve canal situated at the bottom of the orbit instead of at the back. There are no frontal sinuses.The back of the skull is flattened, but not by artificial means. The skull consists of calcium hydroxyapatite, the normal material of mammalian bone.

Carbon 14 dating was performed twice, the first on the normal human skull at the University of California at Riverside in 1999, and on the Starchild skull in 2004 at Beta Analytic in Miami, the largest radiocarbon dating laboratory in the world. Both independent tests gave a result of 900 years ± 40 years since death.DNA testing in 1999 at BOLD, a forensic DNA lab in Vancouver, British Columbia found standard X and Y chromosomes in two samples taken from the skull. BOLD was unable to extract any DNA from the maxilla.Further DNA testing at Trace Genetics, which unlike BOLD specializes in extracting DNA from ancient samples, in 2003 recovered mitochondrial DNA and determined that the child had a human mother, though it was not the child of the skull found with it. Its mother did belong to a known Native American haplogroup, haplogroup C. However, useful lengths of nuclear DNA for further testing could not be recovered.Later testing in 2004 at the Royal Holloway Institute at the University of London revealed unexplained "fibers" in the bone of the skull and a reddish residue in the cancellous bone, neither of which are known or recorded to exist prior to the discovery.


Paranormal Interest
Despite criticism from established science, the skull has gathered great interest within the study of UFOs and alien life forms. Some contend that it is the skull of a non-human, or a human/non-human hybrid, based on the shape of the skull bearing similarities to the common grey representation of aliens.

Lloyd Pye believes that the starchild skull is the result of genetic engineering by aliens, creating a human-alien hybrid.Other explanations have included the use of cradle boarding on a hydrocephalic child, brachycephaly, or Crouzon syndrome

Royal Holloway is a College not an institute

Thank you for your comment gmwoodworth.

The Hellenic Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London is a research centre for the study of Hellenism across the centuries, from the Archaic and Classical Greece, through the Hellenistic and Roman times, to Byzantium, the Post-Byzantine period and the modern world.

ever heard of hydrocephalus?

[DUTCH2012UFO]

Hydrocephalus is usually due to blockage of CSF outflow in the ventricles or in the subarachnoid space over the brain.

The skull may become enlarged because of the great volume of fluid pressing against the brain and skull.

[DUTCH2012UFO]

But i do'nt think that's the case with the Starchild.Because the orbits are oval and shallow, with the optic nerve canal situated at the bottom of the orbit instead of at the back. There are no frontal sinuses.I have'nt seen this with hydrocephalus skulls.

Great.

[Ps3GamerVideos]

Where can I get one?

[mimzou]

the picture of the alien looks like homer simpson

deformedhuman / alien

what's more likely?

[Mcjaffa1]

LOL Look at all you people trying to be smart by saying big words and trying to 'Proove' your 'Science' hahahaaa

[TheSkepticUn]

@DUTCH2012UFO Why don't you think that this is hydrocephalus....I assume that you are offering a trained opinion?

[flignflagn]

there are many dieases ad many dfferent situations that can over time afect the human skull, we hae to remember that ppl were dfferent in the past, mab its aliens mab its just a fake sombody put up to scare us all, gnetic eneneering?? who knows, we all know the gov is hiding something from us but we dont kno what

[theMacvarish]

A number of recognised genetic conditions and infections produce abnormal bone growth like this.Because this skull does not fit,easily,into one of these catagories does not make it,either "alien" or "hybrid".In the same way that excessive facial hair is not proof you are a Werewolf,just hirsute.

Maybe it's a child with progeria or something
