Research indicates is unlike any human skull ever before recorded [3]. The name &#8220;Starchild&#8221; is the result of early X-rays taken of the skull and maxilla fragment found with it, which showed unerupted teeth [4] that, combined with the smaller-than-normal-adult size of the skull [5], indicated a child of age 5 or 6 [6]. A second skull was found with the Starchild, a normal, adult female of small stature [7], also C-14 dated to 900 years ago (\u00b1 40) [8], and biochemically shown to have lived in the same general area as the Starchild [9]. This second skull is often used for comparison to the Starchild.<br \/>\nFrom its extremely shallow eye sockets [10] to the total lack of frontal sinuses [11], the Starchild skull&#8217;s morphology cannot be accounted for by any known combination of deformities. The bone is half as thick [12], weighs half as much [13], and is substantially more durable than normal human bone [14][15]&#8211;unlike anything currently in the scientific record [16]. Furthermore, inside that unusual bone are microscopic fibers and a reddish residue that so far defy any explanation [17].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When you are used to reading legit science papers, this seems to be kosher on the surface. But then when you follow the link to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starchildproject.com\/WhatisSC.html#References\">references<\/a>, you find that most are from the author of the site, or Dr. Ted J. Robinson. Dr Robinson, from a Google search, seems to be mostly known for his participation in this project.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson lists a number of experts who assessed the skull. They tend to be known legitimate experts. To get 11 of them to agree with your hypothesis would be impressive for a hoax!<\/p>\n<p>In short, I think that it&#8217;s a regular human with a condition we are unaware of.
