God forbid I should mention Brien Foerster again, but while cranial deformation can substantially change the shape of the head, it CANNOT increase the cranial capacity; these skulls are sometimes a full 1/3 or more larger internally than present human skulls are, and it's not from hydrocephaly, which leaves no vein or brain imprint on the inside of the skulls, which these have. Headbinding also doesn't account for the structural differences. Some of these are huge!:

If head-binding traditions to create elongated skulls existed in both Africa and South America two thousand years ago, why/how did the peoples in both areas develop the same esthetic?
Great find. F&S
Over the world then broke the great waters,
drowning and sinking,
changing Earth's balance
until only the Temple of Light was left
standing on the great mountain on UNDAL
still rising out of the water;
some there were who were living,
saved from the rush of the fountains.
Called to me then the Master, saying:
Gather ye together my people.
Take them by the arts ye have learned of far across the waters,
until ye reach the land of the hairy barbarians,
dwelling in caves of the desert.
Follow there the plan that yet know of.
Gathered I then my people and
entered the great ship of the Master.
Upward we rose into the morning.
Dark beneath us lay the Temple.
Suddenly over it rose the waters.
Vanished from Earth,
until the time appointed,
was the great Temple.
Fast we fled toward the sun of the morning,
until beneath us lay the land of the children of KHEM.
Raging, they came with cudgels and spears,
lifted in anger seeking to slay and utterly destroy the Sons of Atlantis.
Then raised I my staff and directed a ray of vibration,
striking them still in their tracks as fragments
of stone of the mountain.
Then spoke I to them in words calm and peaceful,
telling them of the might of Atlantis,
saying we were children of the Sun and its messengers.
Cowed I them by my display of magic-science,
until at my feet they groveled, when I released them.
Long dwelt we in the land of KHEM,
long and yet long again.
Until obeying the commands of the Master,
who while sleeping yet lives eternally,
I sent from me the Sons of Atlantis,
sent them in many directions,
that from the womb of time wisdom
might rise again in her children.
Long time dwelt I in the land of KHEM,
doing great works by the wisdom within me.
Upward grew into the light of knowledge
the children of KHEM,
watered by the rains of my wisdom.
Blasted I then a path to Amenti so
that I might retain my powers,
living from age to age a Sun of Atlantis,
keeping the wisdom, preserving the records.
Great few the sons of KHEM,
conquering the people around them,
growing slowly upwards in Soul force.
Now for a time I go from among them into
the dark halls of Amenti,
deep in the halls of the Earth,
before the Lords of the powers,
face to face once again with the Dweller.
Raised I high over the entrance, a doorway, a gateway
leading down to Amenti.
Few there would be with courage to dare it,
few pass the portal to dark Amenti.
Raised over the passage, I, a mighty pyramid,
using the power that overcomes Earth force (gravity).
Deep and yet deeper place I a force-house or chamber;
from it carved I a circular passage
reaching almost to the great summit.
There in the apex, set I the crystal,
sending the ray into the "Time-Space,"
drawing the force from out of the ether,
concentrating upon the gateway to Amenti.
Other chambers I built and left vacant to all seeming,
yet hidden within them are the keys to Amenti.
He who in courage would dare the dark realms,
let him be purified first by long fasting.
Lie in the sarcophagus of stone in my chamber.
Then reveal I to him the great mysteries.
Soon shall he follow to where I shall meet him,
even in the darkness of Earth shall I meet him, I,
Thoth, Lord of Wisdom, meet him and hold him
and dwell with him always.
Builded I the Great Pyramid,
patterned after the pyramid of Earth force,
burning eternally so that it, too,
might remain through the ages.

As others have said, the cranial deformity is probably cultural in origin, if ol' Occam has anything to say about it.
Gene studies would be interesting, if only because I have a great interest in seeing where the actual points of relation in human genomics are.
What would be more interesting, naturally, is if any form of writing by this ancient culture is discovered.

I'm a firm beliver in alien life and that it has visited our planet, my question is, "is there even one modern example of an elongated skull that would match the size of the ancient ones we've seen? I want to see one living example of this type of intentional deformation of a human skull that was done on purpose.
Among the upper-class Mangbetu of northern Zaire the art of shaping the cranium to create an elongated skull is practiced. It is an ancient human practice, but has survived into the twentieth century amongst this tribe. This is only possibly during the first half year of a baby being born whilst the skull bones have not yet fully formed. The child's head is wrapped tightly with thick cloth thus shaping the skull.

I think that is a very true quote. I bet we have NO idea who these conhead beings are. We can only speculate.

That's the result of binding. Some if not most of the Paracas Skulls are clearly not, they are natural.
...and the study that shows that is?

Well I don't think that a study is needed to show that these skulls are not the result of head binding -

There's plenty of data out there which shows that these skulls are different in their make up to 'normal' human skulls. One example being the cranial capacity. Head binding does not increase the cranial capacity.
