Matthew Brownstein | The Starchild Project | Part 1 of 2

The Starchild Skull is is a 900-year-old bone skull found in Mexico in the 1930s. The Starchild Project has been working with independent researchers attempting to determine what this unusual skull is since 1999. The results uncovered by the research team ruled out all known deformities, and presented the scientific community with a genetic and physical profile so different from human that it could be a new species. Ongoing DNA testing has already discovered a high percentage of unusual DNA, and the Project aims to recover the entire genome, which will allow experts to determine if the Starchild Skull is a new species. Eventually we hope that this Skull will assist in the development of scientific and medical advances. The Starchild Project is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers, and all research is conducted by independent labs and experts. Some of the topics discussed: History of the Starchild Project Physical Anomalies Tests that were carried out Medical expert opinions Why it is not a human deformity What the DNA tells us Why it costs so much to sequence the DNA What others can do to help What is different now than during the 14 years of the Project's history The new website and social media presence
