The Starchild Skull (Humans)

David, I stumbled upon this site this evening about a 900 year old skull that was discovered and placed in this man, Lloyd Pye's, care to figure out it's origins. Have you heard anything about this before and what do you think about the findings in this particular article?

I've read the website with lots of good science and multiple ifs, ands and buts of conjecture. The skull looks to me ike a hydrocephalic child, and Wiki article confirms:-:Neurologist Steven Novella of Yale University Medical School says the cranium exhibits all of the characteristics of a child who has died as a result of congenital hydrocephalus, and the cranial deformations were the result of accumulations of cerebrospinal fluid within the skull.
 
DNA testing
 
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."-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starchild_skull
 
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."-The finding of x and y standard human chromosomes is quite clear in claiming the this was a human child. By the way I enjoy researching these claims for you. And I still don't buy extra-terrestrials. Don't send money to Pye.
