Title - Starchild Skull DNA Analysis Report—2011
Report.
Not data.
Show me the data.

Where's the DATA that ended up with the conclusion it wasn't hydrocephalus or any other birth/genetic defect?
Where's the DATA showing the 17 anomalies (that can be easily put down to known errors)?
Where's any of the DATA?
Well ... since you know about the 17 anomalies, then you know about the data...and of course the detail about those 17 anomalies.
So...that might indicate that you are knowingly misrepresenting this...your bad....
If you can't be truthful, there is little point in trying to have an intelligent discussion.
And, IF you can explain these 17 anomalies, please do so...although probability suggests you can't...
After repeated sequencing, some of those 17 differences could be confirmed as reading errors by the program.

Read the report...it contains the data...

They claim they have to keep them anonymous but they will eventually reveal them! It's only been 5 years, guess they need to wait longer.

So they actually explained it themselves. I, however, cannot as I do not have the data to look at and compare to other anomalies of the same nature.
So, for it to be truly scientific and trustworthy, we would need the data.

You keep saying they have data, yet on page 1 of this thread you said yourself they haven't released all the data.
Just to analyse the DNA data we need to see what information they put into the machine to compare it against the skull. For all we know they could have compared the skull against nice DNA (we don't know as there is no data).
So, show me the DATA I can use to falsify their results.

The results from 1999 say there is quite a significant amount of contamination (which we aren't told by how). X-Ray exposure damages and degrades DNA, which may have decreased the quantity and quality of DNA available in the bone before it was extracted. Significant contamination also means that any further tests would very likely contain contamination.
The 17 differences aren't actually as world breaking as you think. Pye twists the differences into "there is NO known earthly corollary for what has been analysed!", which is not what the 2010 BLAST report says.

It's already been explained.
Contamination is contamination. Doesn't matter if it's in 1999 or 2010, it's still contamination.
Pyes team has never released enough data to falsify their results. No one can look at any of their newer data and run tests to confirm or deny the results.
The differences have been explained. I'll say it again.
an automatically generated list of possible procedural errors designed to help geneticists check all possible flaws in their testing techniques
The differences aren't differences. They are anomalies that can be anything from different DNA to a misreading with the machine. The anomalies were never explored so to say they are something or nothing 100% would be a flat out lie.
And just how much contamination was reported for 2010? I don't remember any at all. You want it does not make it so...
I remember a discussion about this notion of "falsification" in science...it was determined to be BS brought about by some who were not doing well in a discussion...
Now we get to the good part...you keep insisting on this and trying to use that phrase bolded above. The problem is that that phrase was not used in a context where the mtdna was involved. In fact that wee phrase was used in a context of testing a nuclear DNA string of some 342 elements...vastly different than mtdna, and very dishonest of you...nearly fraudulent.
So anyway...you have thoroughly discredited yourself here. You are making statements about the data that quite simply do not apply in context. You attempt to use constructs that are quite unscientific. You even go so far as to obfuscate the data, and misrepresent it. All in an attempt to support your mistaken notions on this dataset...course then again, it seems as though you have no idea what is data and what isn't...as that seems to change as needed to support your misconstrued idea.

deformed skull shows anomalies, surely a (other) world first.
i see leonard pye is still taking paypal donations.
scientists proved it was human, however.
