This don't help much, because if your primary evidence of oddity is said by some to be an enlarged head, well, all human fetuses have enlarged heads. She has nine or ten ribs (pairs), well, that might indicate why she may have been miscarried. She ain't "a couple decades old", she was found in 2003 by Oscar Munoz; the DNA supports the theory of genetic mutation, indicates Chilean origin, and gives a date of under 500 years old. The fact that she may be recent enough to have traceable relatives is a rights issue, but there is no proof indicating an excessively recent date.
The initial argument that the skeleton had the knee plates of a 7-year-old was debunked in favor of the genetic evidence that progeria artificially aged the plates and this was a miscarriage.
So, great find. I have both a credulous and a skeptical side. The skeptical says I don't have indications that elongated heads are indeed unnatural, and the credulous suspects that there are more oblong heads walking among us than we realize.
