Mystery Skulls (http://www.world-mysteries.com/sar_6.htm)

The Starchild's brain volume, contained inside a cranium the size of a smallish human's, is 1600 cc. A normal human skull has a brain volume around 1400 cubic centimeters.
(1) To test the DNA of normal human bone, it is put in a chemical bath that reduces it to its constituent elements in a few days. Nine months later a small part of the Starchild bone has not and will not dissolve in that chemical bath. This is, obviously, indicative of something highly unusual about at least that part of it.
(2) When the bone was treated like stone rather than bone, it was analyzed and its mitochondrial DNA was recovered. This is the DNA that resides outside the nucleus and passes down from females exclusively. The Starchild's mtDNA was that of a typical Amerindian female, which fits well with our theory that the Starchild was one of the legendary "Starchildren" created by impregnating native women with the seed of Star Beings, however that improbable seeding might have been arranged (naturally or by external, in vitro means).
(3) The critical test was for nuclear DNA, which analyzes the chromosomes and tells about both parents. If the Starchild did indeed have an "alien" father, this is where it would show up. However, the geneticists found that the primers they currently have to use are not yet sophisticated enough to "grab" the Starchild's nuclear DNA for replication and sequencing. They are confident that in another year or two the primers will be sufficiently advanced to do this task, at which time we should find out for sure exactly what the Starchild is or isn't.
Deformed Ancient Skulls
Many strangely "deformed" hominoid skulls have been discovered in Mexico and Peru. Other such skulls have been found around the globe, but this is the first time that the diversity of skulls within a small area (in this case the Paracas region of Peru) has been examined. Some of the skulls are very distinct, as if they belong to entirely different species, remotely similar to genus Homo.

Unusual Paracas skull supposedly deformed by binding the growing head of an infant. The resulting domed head was considered beautiful. Photographed in the Museo Regional de Ica.

Type "J"
The "M" type of skull is incomplete, as the lower part of the facial area is concerned. What is apparent from the remnants of the facial portion is that the characteristics are entirely within the range of a normal human skull. The cranial vault, on the other hand, is the largest amongst the displayed specimens. Also, the two protruding "lobes" are highly anomalous. The cranial capacity can be estimated safely above 3000 ccm mark. (The largest skull documented in the medical literature had the cranial capacity of 1980 ccm, however, the shape of the skull was normal.)
