It had mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far. But a few fragments I was able to sequence from this sample indicate that if these mutations will hold we are dealing with a new human-like creature, very distant from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans. The geneticist commented on the peer group findings: “I am not sure it will even fit into the known evolutionary tree,” in fact he went on to express that the DNA was so biologically different, they would not have been able to interbreed with humans.
The samples were sent to the late Lloyd Pye, founder of the Starchild Project, who delivered the samples to a geneticist in Texas for DNA testing.

It's possible the lab and the scientist didn't want their name and place of employment attached to such a story...?
They will no doubt want donations to "carry out more tests"
The Paracas skulls... the cranial volume is up to 25 percent larger and 60 percent heavier than conventional human skulls, meaning they could not have been intentionally deformed through head binding/flattening. They also contain only one parietal plate, rather than two. The fact that the skulls’ features are not the result of cranial deformation means that the cause of the elongation is a mystery, and has been for decades.
Mr. Juan Navarro, owner and director of the local museum, called the Paracas History Museum, which houses a collection of 35 of the Paracas skulls, allowed the taking of samples from 5 of the skulls. The samples consisted of hair, including roots, a tooth, skull bone and skin, and this process was carefully documented via photos and video. The samples were sent to the late Lloyd Pye, founder of the Starchild Project, who delivered the samples to a geneticist in Texas for DNA testing.

A geneticist ,The geneticist , but no name of the geneticist or the lab where the tests were carried out , I would like to know who did the tests , isn't that kind of important the the credibility of the story ?

Mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother, so what about the father's DNA?
I know the "Starchild" skull had similar attributes.

I agree it would be helpful to know the names of the people who conducted the tests. In this type of research there might be good reason the names were not given. Information has been suppressed and hidden for thousands of years, this practice continues today. While I would like to know the credentials behind these findings, I can't discount the article based on that alone.
