Mummy of a 6-inch Atacama 'alien' with a cone-shaped head is HUMAN: Bizarre remains belong to a baby girl who had dwarfism, DNA study reveals
The Ata skeleton was found in the Atacama region of Chile in 2003
Ata's small stature and cone-shaped skull led to speculation she was an alien
In a new study, researchers multiple mutations in the skeletons genes associated with diseases such as dwarfism

The origins of a 6-inch skeleton that was once thought to be the remains of an alien have been uncovered by scientists.
A new DNA study of the bones shows the remains are in fact human and belonged to a baby girl who had dwarfism.
Nicknamed 'Ata', the incredible find made in 2003 in Atacama, Chile, has a long cone-like skull and just ten ribs.
The skeleton found its way to a collector in Spain who speculated that it was an extra-terrestrial – judging from its bizarre appeareance – and it appeared in a documentary, Sirus, which suggested it was evidence of alien life.
After five years of deep genomic analysis scientists have pinpointed the mutations responsible for the bizarre specimen.
