Math. Odds. The odds of anyone locating a diseased skull are so small compared to the odds of you finding a "typical skull" from the period in question it is just too incredible, though not impossible.
I love the odds game.
So, what are the odds of finding a human on Earth with Progeria, and what are the odds of finding an alien skull on Earth? Also, what are the odds that this human deformed skull would be found on a planet where humans live?
Tell us exact prevalence rates, please.
Show us your math, please.

Einstein wasn't a superstar until he created something that could be used for purposes of DEATH. Even when he was postulating "General Relativity," he didn't have a world renowned status, and mind you...this was a guy who failed mathematics in high school. So, everyone starts off as a nobody my friend. And, even if this particular scientist never discovers something amazing from this skull, at least he had the balls to try.
Here's the big question. Why haven't other mainstream scientists taken this up as a project? It would seem rather beneficial to know why a skull would be so incredibly different than the standard skull of the homosapien.

I suppose eventually...probably soon.
Maybe it has already been discovered and is just going through a torturous analysis before it is revealed.
DNA is a young science, The odds of finding a humanly deformed skull would be about the same odds that same human would be found in the populations...very small.

You got him there, we totally see more aliens in the population than people with Progeria.
Oh wait...

Yeah...Maybe we should wait. Until a final a definitive, analysis is in.
I have the time. Do you?

For all appearances, this looks like the skull of any human child. But there are two very special things about it. The first is that its owner was clearly deformed; its asymmetrical skull is a sign of a medical condition called craniosynostosis that’s associated with mental retardation. The second is that the skull is about half a million years old. It belonged to a child who lived in the Middle Pleistocene period.
The skull was uncovered in Atapuerca, Spain by Ana Gracia, who has named it Cranium 14. It’s a small specimen but it contains enough evidence to suggest that the deformity was present from birth and that the child was about 5-8 years old. The remains of 28 other humans have been recovered from the same site and none of them had any signs of deformity
Even though all signs point to it being a deformed skull, and all other previous DNA tests either yielded native DNA or inconclusive.

...Which would make a little bit of sense if it were the only such skull found.

Dear rusethorcain
If this thing should prove to be ET, oh hell it will spoil the fun. However I would dearly love to see the faces of those that say no way in hell could it ever be possible.
They deneight the possibility of ET with vigor, perhaps not realizing that the can only ever lose the bet.

If it is a mutation they why is it not in a DNA database of billions......
or anything similar to the mutation....
If all of the members of ATS took a DNA test what is the percentage of any of them to come back with ANY "unknown" sections of DNA....
Not many people can go around analyzing DNA against such a database.
Its like if I came to ATS with an unknown E.T element that I have someone send off to be analyzed professionally.
Said element comes back as an unknown not of this earth material....
ATS HOAXER!!!!!
Info goes on back shelf....
Don't look over here.......

If YOU want clear evidence of alien visitation, visit my own films.

yawn, more critics who don't believe ET exists and we humans are the evolved species of the universe.

What?
The first DNA tests showed that it was human DNA from both parents.
Just because we haven't found other old skulls with progeria doesn't make aliens more likely.
We KNOW what progeria looks like in humans, and the starchild skull matches it exactly.
