The answer is obvious

The elongated skulls of Paracas in Peru caused a stir in 2014 when a geneticist that carried out preliminary DNA testing reported that they have mitochondrial DNA “with mutations unknown in any human, primate, or animal known so far”. Now a second round of DNA testing has been completed and the results are just as controversial – the skulls tested, which date back as far as 2,000 years, were shown to have European and Middle Eastern Origin. These surprising results change the known history about how the Americas were populated.
Paracas is a desert peninsula located within Pisco Province on the south coast of Peru. It is here where Peruvian archaeologist, Julio Tello, made an amazing discovery in 1928 – a massive and elaborate graveyard containing tombs filled with the remains of individuals with the largest elongated skulls found anywhere in the world. These have come to be known as the ‘ Paracas skulls ’. In total, Tello found more than 300 of these elongated skulls, some of which date back around 3,000 years.
It is well-known that most cases of skull elongation are the result of cranial deformation, head flattening, or head binding, in which the skull is intentionally deformed by applying force over a long period of time. It is usually achieved by binding the head between two pieces of wood, or binding in cloth. However, while cranial deformation changes the shape of the skull, it does not alter other features that are characteristic of a regular human skull.

That's been one of my main questions when the "two boards elongated the skulls" answer is offered.
Aliens, plain and simple.
But there is enough bone mass for 2 heads. That is not normal.
Agree. But there are examples of women in African and Asian sects with extremely long necks. Take a look.
What theory? DNA evidence is Fact. Maybe what you believe is just theory.

To add another log to the fire, the theory that the skulls were simply the result of deliberate malformation due to manipulation of the soft skulls of children, we should factor in this information:
They have found elongated skulls in fetuses which are in utero state in female mummys.

Maybe they can produce a legitimate birth certificate.

The “opposite” of zika skulls?
"How in the world does such a thing get started in a society?"
Maybe an early NFL attempt to reduce concussion brain injury!
I for one salute our coneheaded Remulakian ancestors.
Looks like they were unsuccessful at knarfling that garthok.
I have known several liberals who were so narrow-minded that they could look through a fuel line with both eyes.
It would be beyond stupid to take DNA samples from the exposed surface of the skulls. SURELY the DNA samples would be taken from bone matter below the surface. No scientist in his right mind would use a surface sample from a 2000 year old specimen. There is no way.
thanks. An intelligent and informed comment.
Have been reading on Eurogenes blog that evidence seems to indicate that in fact there was a back-migration from Berengia and North America about 70,000 years ago. Also the X chromosome is found in both American Indians and rarely in north Europeans.
Cue the “I won’t say it’s aliens” guy in 3...2...1...
