The Starchild skull is an abnormal human skull allegedly found in Mexico that is claimed to be the product of extraterrestrial-human breeding or genetic manipulation. Tests conducted utilizing mtDNA recovered from the skull have established it as human. Experts believe it to be the skull of a child who died as a result of known genetic or congenital abnormalities, such as congenital hydrocephalus.
DNA testing in 1999 at BOLD (Bureau of Legal Dentistry), a forensic DNA lab in Vancouver, British Columbia found standard X and Y chromosomes in two samples taken from the skull, "conclusive evidence that the child was not only human (and male), but both of his parents must have been human as well, for each must have contributed one of the human sex chromosomes."[4]
Further DNA testing in 2003 at Trace Genetics, which specializes in extracting DNA from ancient samples, isolated mitochondrial DNA from both recovered skulls. The child belongs to haplogroup C. Since mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively from the mother, it makes it possible to trace the offspring's maternal lineage. The DNA test therefore confirmed that the child's mother was a Haplogroup C human female. However, the adult female found with the child belonged to haplogroup A. Both haplotypes are characteristic Native American haplogroups, but the different haplogroup for each skull indicates that the adult female was not the child's mother.
DENY IGNORANCE!!!

Could it have been extreme hydrocephalus?

That's exactly what it was and has been proven long ago and keeps recirculating

You jumped to conclusions.
I made no conclusions other than "I would be surprised to come across it".
Did I say anything about it's origins or causation? Nope. I left that in the air to be decided at a later date when more evidence is provided.
So why are you jumping to the conclusion that I jumped to a conclusion?
You should probably avoid it until I make a clear statement rather than assuming I inferred it, which I didn't infer anything.
Pardon - but just to clarify, I never said YOU jumped to conclusions, you didn't .. so forgive that for not being clearly spelled .. I said jumping to conclusions should be avoided, it was intended to be general .. because it's happening in the thread.. again, sorry you thought I meant you.. I didn't =)edit on 7/28/2012 by miniatus because: (no reason given)

Has anybody bothered reading this post at all? It's been disproven, it's human. There's no alien-breeding involved, it was a result of hydrocpehalus....
At least look at the truth when it's presented to you instead of ignoring it and continuing to go on about what it's already been proven NOT to be.

There is no "testing positive for alien". At most the DNA would display unrecognized sequences.
Now, Wouldn't that be cool?

I'd be interested in reading the details.
Thanks

Something came to mind while looking at this pic. Is it possible that some people do not grow properly, but their brain DOES continue to grow, and we end up with what we see in this pic?
As for the DNA test, I feel if there is any possibility that it would test positive for alien we'll never be told the truth.
Oooooooo I hope it does test positive and the truth does get out though coz I have a few people in mind who will hear a very loud "I TOLD YOU SO"
Personally I think we've been visited in the past, probably many times.

Some articles say that the suture line of the plates of the skull are different in these skulls. The skulls of the people trying to elongate the skulls have the same suture lines as normal. You can't change the suture pattern by reshaping the skull to a conehead.

Sorta looks like it has more ribs also.

I think it's just another humanoid species also. We had cromagnum and Neanderthal and possibly more so why are people even questioning this? Maybe because they coexisted with humans in the last five thousand years and it doesn't follow present archeological theory? What's new.edit on 30-7-2012 by rickymouse because: (no reason given)
