Anyone following the Starchild DNA results? The study was recently evaluated with “mixed results”.
See Haskell Hart latest blog post for his assessment of Brien Foerster’s Starchild Project DNA. He writes:
We diverge from bigfoot a bit to consider another hot cryptozoological project. Brien Foerster’s Starchild project http://starchildproject.com/ has produced some DNA results worth taking a good look at. They are quite astonishing. The website gives good background information on the unusual skull found in Mexico alongside a normal looking skull in the 1930s. The Starchild project has involved many different kinds of analysis over 13 years. Of course, the central question is what is the genetic origin of the skull? Is it human, nonhuman, alien, or some combination. DNA sequencing is just the technique to answer these questions, but extraction from ancient material 900 years old can be difficult. Elimination of possible modern human contamination can be even more difficult for a specimen handled casually many times since its discovery. That being said, we took the DNA sequences at face value to verify the interpretations of Foerster’s anonymous geneticist. The mtDNA conclusions are believable; the nDNA (FOXP2 gene) results are not.
