Scientist are now saying it is Human, do you agree????
If its not human then its a Fairy or "batteries not included!!
Is this really human? DNA tests on six-inch skeleton of 'alien-looking' creature with over-sized head prove it was actually human claim scientists in new documentary

It was hailed as proof of alien life, a mummified visitor from another planet.
Ten years after the remains of a six-inch ‘space alien’ were first discovered, they have been confirmed as ‘human’ by Stanford scientists in a new documentary film Sirius.
Since the remains of the small humanoid - known as the 'Atacama Humanoid' and nicknamed Ata - were discovered in Chile's Atacama Desert 10 years ago there has been much speculation about its origins.
Theories have included that the bones were those of an aborted fetus, or a monkey, or even an alien that had crash-landed on earth

Here’s the newest information to be released about the 6-inch alien-looking skeleton: Ata was a male who lived to the age of 6 or 8. It's a remarkable finding since its size looks like that of an aborted fetus, but researchers determined his age by studies of bone density and epiphyseal plates, the growing ends of bones, Chrom.com wrote.
Even though Ata looks more like an alien than a human, researchers are sure the creature is a homo sapien despite its elongated skull and nine ribs.
The discovery could be somewhat disappointing for UFO enthusiasts who were hoping Ata proved there was extra-terrestrial life.
Oscar Munoz found the remains on Oct. 19, 2003, near an abandoned church, a local Chilean newspaper wrote, when he was looking for objects with historical value in La Noria, a ghost town in the Atacama Desert. The creature was found in a white cloth container, according to the newspaper.
Researchers used DNA testing to determine the creature’s species and referred to Ata as an “interesting mutation.”
“I can say with absolute certainty that it is not a monkey. It is human -- closer to human than chimpanzees. It lived to the age of six to eight,” the UK’s Daily Mail quoted Garry Nolan, director of stem cell biology at Stanford University's School of Medicine in California.
“Obviously, it was breathing, it was eating, it was metabolizing. It calls into question how big the thing might have been when it was born.
"The DNA tells the story, and we have the computational techniques that allows us to determine, in very short order, whether, in fact, this is human,” Nolan explains in the film.
A teensy skeleton with a squashed alienlike head may have earthly origins, but the remains, found in the Atacama Desert a decade ago, do make for quite a medical mystery.
Apparently when the mummified specimen was discovered, some had suggested the possibility it was an alien that had somehow landed on Earth, though the researchers involved never suggested this otherworldly origin.
Now, DNA and other tests suggest the individual was a human and was 6 to 8 years of age when he or she died. Even so, the remains were just 6 inches (15 centimeters) long. [See Images of the Alien-Looking Human Remains]

- 10 years ago the bones of a six-inch skeleton with a large head were found in Chile
- There was speculation that the Atacama humanoid, nicknamed Ata, was either an aborted fetus, a monkey or even an alien
- Now scientists at Stanford University have carried out conclusive DNA tests which have found the remains are those of a mutated human
