Skull from Paracas, Peru

What you are seeing, above, is the mummified head and partial neck of a baby from the Paracas culture of Peru who died between 2000 and 2800 years ago, as that was the life expectancy of that coastal culture. He was probably a newborn, or perhaps 3 months old at the time of death.

The arrows above indicate the positions of the eyes and mouth. As you can see, the skull is extremely elongated, and could well indicate that this child was born with a genetically and naturally elongated head, and not the result of cranial deformation.

The arrow in the photo above points to the baby's very fine hair, which is auburn red; not the typical jet black color of Native Americans. This, along with the elongation, shows a clear genetic differentiation from what one would normally expect.

Again, the photo above shows the position of the left eye socket and mouth. DNA testing of this individual is currently being considered, to be conducted through the correct channels and protocols.

Finally, notice, in the photo above and to the left, the position of the spine. It is much further from the back of the skull than normal, and could well indicate that this is an evolutionary adaptation to compensate for the elongated skull.
