    Title of Paper:

    "Unraveling the Mystery of Elongated Skulls in the Philippines"

    Abstract:

    In "Unraveling the Mystery of Elongated Skulls in the Philippines," the


    phenomenon of elongated skulls, a shared artifact found globally, investigates various
    theories surrounding the origins of these skulls, including cultural practices, genetics,
    ancestral art, and progenitor hominin species, tracing the roots of anthropological
    research on elongated skulls in the Philippines back to pioneers of anthropology such as
    Rudolph Virchow, A.B Meyer, and Dr. Jose Rizal. The research uncovers the presence of
    these skulls in different archaeological sites across the Philippines, from the northern
    islands of Batanes to the south in Mindanao, dating back thousands of years symbolized
    beauty, power, nobility, and divine connections in ancient Filipino culture. Amidst the
    controversies and theories surrounding the presence of elongated skulls, the study
    proposes the Progenitor Hominid Theory, suggesting that these skulls are puzzle pieces
    of our shared missing past. The study concludes with the assertion that the Philippines,
    with its significant amount of living Denisovan and other hominid DNA, holds the key to
    unlocking the secrets of our shared past, making it a significant contribution to
    anthropological literature.

    Charles Augustus Marcum III, a distinguished anthropologist specializing in the


    Philippines, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific, has made significant contributions to the
    field through his research, presentations, and publications. Fluent in English, Tagalog,

    and Assistant Instructor for their Anthropology Department. Recently, he participated as
    a cohort with the Asia Pacific studies graduate program at the University of San
    Francisco, completed an advanced Spanish program at Universidad de León, and was
    awarded a FLAS fellowship at the University of Wisconsin Madison for Filipino language
    study. His work, focusing on the intersection of culture, genetics, and ancient
    civilizations, reflects a deep commitment to understanding and preserving the rich
    cultural heritage of the Philippines and other Southeast Asian and Pacific regions.
