FINALLY: DNA Results Of The Paracas Elongated Skulls Of Peru: Part 7: Summary In this intriguing YouTube segment, Brian Forrester presents a summary of DNA testing conducted on the Paracas elongated skulls of Peru, showcasing findings that challenge conventional understanding of these artifacts. The video represents the culmination of extensive research, with DNA samples taken from 18 different skulls, leading to unexpected haplogroup results that include not only the typical Native American groups but also several associated with Eurasian origins.
Key Findings
Forrester discusses the predictions made by affiliated scholars, who anticipated that the DNA would predominantly reflect haplogroups A, B, C, or D, representative of Native American ancestry. Instead, some samples returned haplogroups which are commonly linked to populations from the Black Sea and Crimea region, including U2e, K, J, and H. This revelation suggests a potential maritime movement from Eurasia to South America over 3,000 years ago, raising questions about ancient interactions that have yet to be fully understood.
Cranial Analysis and Physical Abnormalities
Significant physical abnormalities were highlighted in the analysis of the skulls. The positioning of the foramen magnum — a critical area for spinal cord connection — differed markedly from that of typical Homo sapiens. This could indicate a distinct evolutionary trait, such as longer necks, which further emphasizes the uniqueness of the Paracas people. Additionally, Forrester mentions the absence of certain anatomical features that influence facial expressions, suggesting that their social interactions might have been markedly different.
Blood Type Anomalies
Adding another layer of intrigue, Forrester notes the blood type results for the Paracas skulls. Contrary to the belief that all native peoples of the Americas should exhibit blood type O, the testing revealed a variety of blood types, including A, B, and even rare AB, further indicating a complex genetic makeup.
Conclusion and Future Research
Forrester's findings push the boundaries of accepted historical narratives, inviting scrutiny and further investigation from the academic community. He encourages those interested to read about the full story in an upcoming publication by Laura Marzulli. As ongoing research continues, the implications of these findings on our understanding of ancient civilizations and their dispersal remain profound.
