Only problem with it being a monkey is that it needs to have similar dna to a human, something like 98% similar. This thing is very different compared to humans, apes dont have those fiber tissues in the skull at all. As they said, whether we can or cannot prove it here, no other species has that on earth. There are a lot of things to be skeptical on, like the bone marrow and tooth thing, it could be some hybrid or mutation from a human, or it could be the chupacabra. If its jaw muscles are truely 1/2 the size of a humans, means it doesnt eat as hard of materials as we do. If the guy that did the sequencing is legit (and whether is method was legit) and those 342 sequence pairs and compared it to the nih and they arent there, then that means we have something unique and not completely of the human species.
After going to their website, they even say the bone itself is 2-3 times stronger than a human skull. The way the neck muscles connect to the head is different than any sapien species, theres no bulge on the back of your neck, every sapien species has it, this doesnt. Not only does the neck start at a different point with the head, its off angled compared to us. Small eye (like a child, but the teeth are adult formation) and most likely not some midget head. I would get its possible a mutated dwarf head, not possible because of the high degree of symmetry. Deformations and mutations do not allow such a degree of symmetry. No sinuses or anything of the sort in the nose. As of 2003 they did 6 tests to get the genome and couldnt get the fathers dna, but in 2009 (results of in this video) they did this new method /shrug.
Very skeptical, would like a well known organization, such as a school, to do the sequencing and not some dude no one has heard of. Wonder what it would look like if we engineered one, who wants to donate the billions to clone this thing?
