If they are that old they belong in a museum.

For someone employed in A CULTURAL capacity ("cultural commission"), this is an incredibly limited statement as to perspective, awareness, scope.
There are pockets of people on the planet even today who can't seem to understand -- or refuse to -- that the planet has been peopled by nomadic people for a longer while than is their contemporary history. People have settled areas, moved on or died out, and others have migrated in. Then they've either moved on or died out. But later peoples have again then moved into those once populated but now barren areas. And on and on.
Interesting suggestion as to those skulls, however, being "longer and taller" than this current group of people who are laying claim to them. Longer and thinner skulls certainly suggest people from Northern Europe, Northern Asia, compared with Southern Asian who are undoubtedly the ancestors of this current claim-laying group (being described as having "moved in from the south" which would indicate they were of Asian descend moving upward from South/Central America along the coast after temperatures were warmed). Some people need to read more. Let science explore the skeletal remains and arrive at some conclusions when/as possible but there's no harm done in studying them. I can't see why it would be objectionable (to study the skeletal remains), given their age and distinction.
