excerpt

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...

Yup.

The DNA testing has had many 'false starts,' inconclusive results etc. etc. etc.

They have had a tortured time of it learning to get clean DNA evidence material uncontaminated by handling the skulls etc. etc.

Nevertheless, I think that L.A. Marzullli & associates are on the right trail and coming up with the most plausible conclusions accordingly.

It's a messy scene from many perspectives for many reasons. I do think that Marzulli's conclusions, at their core, are likely to turn out being very accurate.

I think the debunkers are mostly "True anti-believers" and as such seize on this or that flaw in the process; this or that rationalization etc. and avoid the whole picture as well as significant contra-indications to their assumptions and blather.
