Paranormal Adept
First , i don't wanna start a new Greer discussion.This fraud should be forgotten.But i wonder whatever happened to the this creature .The test results say it has 91% human DNA.But even a monkey has 96% human DNA.The scientist in the movie said it lived for about 7 years , so it is no foetus.Where is it now ?

Hi have you got a link to the "tests" please?
 

Thank you for the links.

In the livescience article it says this:

"Garry Nolan, professor of microbiology and immunology at Stanford School of Medicine, told LiveScience. "I've only scratched the surface in the analysis. But there is nothing that jumps out so far as to scream 'nonhuman.'"

I guess we will have to wait and see what the final conclusions are, as the researcher says that the examination is at a very early stage.
 
Wikipedia:
During the DNA analysis by Nolan, the B2 haplotype group was found in the remains. Haplogroups identify human genetic populations that often are associated distinctly with particular geographic regions around the globe. Combined with the alleles found in the mitochondrial DNA contained in the remains, the findings suggested that Ata is indigenous to the western region of South America.[4] While ufologists have said they think that Ata is an extraterrestrial, this speculation is inconsistent with DNA testing of the remains.

' human fetus that was born prematurely and died before or shortly after birth'
So how could it lived for seven years then ?
And :
'Dr. Ralph Lachman of Stanford University, as portrayed in the 'Sirius' documentary, has examined the photographs, X Rays and CAT scans of the alleged Atacama Humanoid and has concluded that the six inch tall specimen is a 6-8 year old child of some type. Bone density and epiphyseal plate development is consistent with a child of 6-8 years of age. Only 10 ribs exist, a condition not known to occur in humans. A mature tooth is also found in the mandible.'

There is a slightly more recent interview (via email) of Garry Nolan here:
The UFO Trail: Dr. Garry Nolan Talks Ata, Starchild Skull and Science

As of 2014 he was still preparing his findings for publication, but this is the gist of it:
"We are writing for publication now on ATA. I have brought in some very high level experts to help me assemble and mine the genome for results that might explain the morphology of the specimen. The specimen has interesting mutations, but all mainstream genetics. Nothing more can be said at this point as we are going to let the academic review take its course."
