i don't take you seriously, are you saying that all of the elongated skulls found around the world are all suffering from the same deformity , like having a different amount of fontanelles than Humans do ?. I don't take you seriously because you are obviously gullible and believe anything main stream science say's . Oh they'd never lie to me ?

Firstly why even bother to quote me when you don't make any response to the quote, you are wasting my time because no one else takes you seriously, gotta tell you, with your hero worship of Hancock and Foerster, I don't take you seriously either, you're lining yourself up for a time share scam
Wow you need to check your facts
Julia Pastrana
She was born with a genetic condition, hypertrichosis terminalis (or generalized hypertrichosis lanuginosa[3]); her face and body were covered with straight black hair. Her ears and nose were unusually large, and her teeth were irregular. The latter condition was caused by a rare disease, undiagnosed in her lifetime, Gingival hyperplasia, which thickened her lips and gums
So wasn't a throwback, just an unfortunate woman who turned her handicap into profit...
and so perhaps you can tell me what any of this nonsense has to do with the con that this thread is discussing ?
This is what the fifth time you've posted nonsense to me, its getting boring now
Congenital generalized hypertrichosis terminalis (CGHT) is a heterogenous group of diseases with continuing excessive growth of terminal hair. "Ambras syndrome" was first coined by Baumeister in 1993 to describe a case of nonsyndromic CGHT which was erroneously analogized to the portrait paintings of Petrus Gonzales and his children, exhibited in Ambras Castle near Innsbruck, Austria. This family probably, a syndromic type with abnormal dentition, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. CGHT associated with gingival hyperplasia is probably a particular entity typified by the historical cases of Julia Pastrana and her son. An X-linked type of CGHT has likewise been categorized as "Ambras syndrome".
In fact, those with generalized hypertrichosis -- hyper meaning excess, and trichosis, hair -- are even hairier than chimpanzees or gorillas, which lack fur around the cheeks, nose and eyes. The only parts of the patients' bodies without hair are the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. This suggests that the atavism could recall something earlier than the emergence of hominoid apes about 25 million years ago. "This is probably a mutation of a gene that was a sleeping beauty," said Dr. Jose M. Cantu, head of genetics at the Mexican Institute for Social Security in Guadalajara, an author of the new report. "The mutation awakened a gene that had been put aside during evolution."
The researchers do not yet have the precise gene isolated, but merely know its approximate location, on the bottom half of the X chromosome . They found the location by examining the genetic material of a large Mexican family, whose members may be the only humans known to have this particular mutation.
"Atavistic mutations tell us that a lot of information is kept around for a very long time," said Dr. Brian K. Hall, a developmental biologist at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "Just because an animal isn't using a gene anymore doesn't mean the information just disappears." Dr. Hall wrote a commentary about atavistic mutations that appears with the report on hypertrichosis.
The most famous of the hairy "human curiosities" was Julia Pastrana, a Mexican Indian born in the 1830's who had long, thick, glossy and straight black hair covering most of her body, as well as overdevelopment of the jaw and an unusually broad, flattened nose. Scientists have tentatively diagnosed Pastrana's condition as "generalized hypertrichosis terminalis with gingival hyperplasia," a different condition from that discussed in the current report, though with the same extraordinary degree of hairiness.

skull binding cannot increase the internal capacity of the cranial void
and evidence points to the fact that in the case of the Peruvian and Mexican skulls, the cranial void is significantly larger than in a normal skull

You said she was a throwback and I said that she had genetic abnormalities
Remember ?
Now you are saying that she had genetic abnormalities
Well done, you actually learned something
Now how about you try and stay on topic.
The Paracas skulls, not your confused idea of what human evolution is..
The person making the claim that the internal capacity is increased is actually the same guy trying con you into going on his supernatural Inca tour, Brian Foerster
They don't have an increased capacity and as no one has subjected them to any kind of scanning machine, anyone making that claim needs to explain how they measured them
btw that post was not a good source, about the only thing it got right was the bit about capacity

Woaa there Marduk, LET ME ask you a question, If you and your sources are so irrefutable why they hell are you not working in this field, what are you doing posting on and criticizing on thread's that such an unimpeachable academic would not even touch with a barge pole, does this touch a nerve or something
Peruvian and Mexican skulls, the cranial void is significantly larger than in a normal skull
The size of the Cranial vault has nothing to do with intelligence, you could have a head as big as a beachball and still be as dumb as a box of rocks
originally posted by: kibric
no one has measured the cranial vaults then of the skulls
is what I am trying to clarify
There is no statistically significant difference in cranial capacity between artificially deformed skulls and normal skulls in Peruvian samples

might be relevant
and evidence points to the fact that in the case of the Peruvian and Mexican skulls, the cranial void is significantly larger than in a normal skull
I'm definitely looking for clarification on this
be nice..

Did I miss why the skulls were elongated?
As far as I've read, it was a practice called head binding. They tightly bound the heads of newborns while their skulls were easily manipulated and soft. This gave them the elongated skulls.
Similar to the neck rings of those with what appear to be elongated necks....it is actually that the rings just pushed the clavicle bones down giving the appearance of a longer neck.

Ok, Now this is Getting VERY interesting.
I recently watched this documentary, as below, that delves into the mystery that is current and past history of New Zealand.
Now, as has been mentioned previously on ATS, Maori oral history extends approx 1000 years, when the Maori discovered Aotearoa in the Southern Pacific Ocean.
But what their oral history also says, is that there were already people on the Islands.....Fair skinned, red hair green eyed peoples. Their legends also talk about giants with red hair, and small people with fair skin.
Either way, there were humans already on NZ before the Maori..........whom the Maori eventually had wars with and ate...most of them anyway.
Now, descendants of these Red haired people still exist in NZ....they are called the Ngati Hotu, there are still "native" people born with the throw back red hair green eyes gene.
In this documentary, a Ngati Hotu woman, a native NZer, had her DNA tested, and she is of the Haplogroup of Caucasian, specifically from the Persian area...........remember this is a native NZ person.
There is strong evidence of Pre Maori culture of up to 3000 years on NZ, with cultural similarities, language, writing etc to the Easter Isand, AND Peru in South America.
The Polynesians are of direct indigenous Taiwanese lineage and came from the East Asia region.
The Red hair Fair skin Ngati Hotu, are of Indo European Descent and were proposed to have came from the "West", from tribes that sailed to South America, then to Easter Island and other areas in the Pacific. Why? who knows.....
This recent DNA, actually shows that there may be a connection with South America and Europe, that has been denied in recent times.
There is even literature of up to a century ago, of old Maori and NZ tribe oral legends, and one is of the Fair skinned red haired people who had a great war with dark skinned people around the area of ancient India (Persia? Afghanistan?) about 200 generations ago....about 3500 years ago, and left "Europe" and travelled to a great land to the West (South America), and eventually out to the islands...

This new DNA find is Very interesting.....lets see how long "Mainstream" science will take to deny it and call it false.
Which it appears, to be correct.
We are still learning even about our own species. Current theories will come crashing down.
