Tiny ‘Alien’ Skeleton Is In Fact Human (VIDEO)
DNA tests on six-inch skeleton of ‘alien-looking’ species with over-sized head prove it was actually human as claimed by scientists in new documentary.
The bones of a six-inch skeleton with a large head were found in Chile 10 years ago.
There was speculation that the Atacama humanoid, nicknamed Ata, was either an aborted fetus, a monkey or even an alien.
Now scientists at Stanford University have carried out conclusive DNA tests which have found the remains are those of a mutated human.
The film says that it is an ‘interesting mutation’ of a male human that had survived post-birth for between six and eight years.
“I can say with absolute certainty that it is not a monkey. It is human – closer to human than chimpanzees. It lived to the age of six to eight,” said Garry Nolan, director of stem cell biology at Stanford University’s School of Medicine in California.
“Obviously, it was breathing, it was eating, it was metabolizing. It calls into question how big the thing might have been when it was born.”
