Disfigured child or extinct primate. End of. Nothing from a different planet could look that mammalian, let alone simian. Sorry, but it's complete bollucks that any biologist could genuinely suggest that this could be extraterrestrial.

Human (several factors) female (thin rim in the upper edge of the eye socket) young (bones of the skull poorly fused) probable cranial binding...
I am pretty new (about two college courses) when it comes to forensic anthropology, but this is a pretty textbook skull as far as I can see. Why did they say it was an alien's? .____.
*EDIT: Like, hardcore is this modern human. There are stronger differences between any given species of the genus Homo than there are between this skull and any other modern human skull.

I disagree, this kid would have been cute as fuck in life. Huge eye orbits translates to huge eyes, weird shaped head, maybe, but that would have been preferable in the society that shaped it like that. She would have been quite beautiful, I wonder how she died...DVS BSTrD said:
Most likely some ancient custom to deform the heads of children into weird shapes by means of binding it or something. But we can dream right?
Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I mean, this practice got brought up in Evil Star and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, its made its way into pop culture, its hardly unknownspasicle said:
Is it really so hard to believe there are other humanoid aliens out there with advanced space tech? The universe is so huge that even the most improbable things can still happen. Plus, look at all of the UFO reports that come in every day. The waves, the videos, the pictures, the descriptions, the sightings by credible observers such as police and army officers, and so on. Is it really so hard to believe that in a universe this vast and expansive that there are indeed other life forms out there? I think that quite frankly the notion that we are the only sentient life form in the entire goddamn universe is fucking stupid. Yes, there are hoaxes. People also prank call police all the time but that doesn't mean crime doesn't exist.
And if anyone quotes this and puts an "I want to believe" poster below it, you officially suck.

Wait...You're going to prevent aliens from shoving something up your butt by...beating them to it?RoseArch said:
Kinda redundant, isn't it?
Aliens not existing is almost an impossibility, the number of solar systems, let alone planets is so vast that there must be other places capable of supporting life out there.Racecarlock said:
But, the distances involved are so mind bendingly huge that we can say with a great deal of certainty that they sure as hell arent going to visit us any time soon.
The people saying that they've seen aliens in the flesh all tend to be nutters, and so called UFO's can usually be easily explained by effects of weather/light, or rocket tests as seen in several recent ones.
Unless you feel like proving Einstein wrong, no aliens will be coming to say hello (and no that recent 'revelation' does not count, yet).
While, I, personally, find the utterly freakish nature of the series of coincidences which brought about the existence of Homo sapiens sapiens too fantastical to render itself replicable, I will admit to a sliver of possibility for humanoid extraterrestrial existence. That being said, is it more likely that a skull which looks, for all intents and purposes, exactly like a human skull could be expected to look like from this culture and time period is, in fact, that of an extraterrestrial?Racecarlock said:

All I can think of is that alien skull from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

No.Racecarlock said:
What's hard to believe is that there is a humanoid alien with bone structure that is basically exactly human.
Like precisely completely zero deviation 'that poor boy had hydrocephaly' human skull structure, right there. Exactly human.
That is what is hard to believe.
Not that life could develop on a faraway planet, not that that life could develop interstellar travel, none of that, no.
That it looks like a human child with hydrocephaly.
That's the part that is...well not 'hard' so much as 'completely impossible' to believe.
That the 'alien' skull, which supposedly developed on a different planet under completely different circumstances following a different path of evolution that led it to the advanced state... looks exactly like a human skull.
Exactly.
Incredible. In the dictionary definition; as in 'not credible'.
'Too much of a stretch.'
'Hilariously improbable.'
'Not possible to believe.'
Don't tempt me bro. Either way, alien life forms certainly have a good chance of existing, but the odds that they would develop down an evolutionary path similar to ours (ruling out panspermia) is really tough to believe. Just look at all the different species on our planet; in light of that diversity, it's hard to believe that head shape would be the sole physiological difference between us and beings from millions of miles away on a completely different planet.Racecarlock said:
Also anyone remember the Starchild Skull? That was another odd-looking Andean cranium that was found and people claimed it was extraterrestrial too. It wasn't, of course.
