These skulls are displayed in small private museums in Ica, Peru and
Merida, Mexico. The data about the skulls is incomplete, making the
correct assessment of their age, context with other hominids, as well
as placement of their origin extremely difficult.
The cone-head specimens were found in the Paracas region
of Perú. According to orthodox anthropology, they do not exist.
Textbooks' oldest date of appearance of humans in North America is
about 35000 BCE and much later for South America, based on the diffusion
theory assumptions. The only accepted human types entering the continent
are of the modern anatomy. As is obvious from the comparison with
a modern human skull, the cranial capacity lies within the modern
human range. These three specimens exclude the possibility of random
or artificial deformation. They have individual characteristics within
the range of overall morphology. There is no doubt that they are closely
related and possibly represent quite a distinct branch of the genus
Homo, if not an entirely different species.
The "J" type of skull has eye sockets that are about 15%
larger than in modern populations. More significant is the enormity
of the cranial vault. The estimated cranial capacity ranges between
minimum of 2600 ccm to 3200 ccm. The modern humans average size is
1450 ccm.
The "M" type of skull has facial characteristics that are
within the range of a normal human skull. The cranial vault, on the
other hand, is the largest amongst the displayed specimens; above
the 3000 ccm. mark. Also, the two protruding v"lobes" are
highly anomalous. J" and "M" types are bordering on
biological impossibility. The only explanation imagined for the specimens
to be naturally born is if the neoteny (the ability of the species
to prolong the growth period before maturing) of both groups had been
expanded beyond the range for a modern type of human, for the skull
to grow to such a size. That may also mean the average life span of
these specimens may have been substantially longer than the average
for the modern human type.

Research
Objective :
To document the skulls. To find out more information about their location,
and circumstance of their discovery. To subject the skulls to age
tests and other examinations.
Unanswered
Questions: How old are the skulls? What race did they belong
to? Why haven't educational institution studied them? Why have we
never heard about them in mainstream media?
Significance:
Completely
expands traditional theories on the history of South and Central America.
Indicates an entirely different species of hominoid. There are too
many of these skulls for it to simply be a genetic defect.
