While re-evaluating a centuries' old, elongated skull originally theorized to belong to an Incan "tribal chief," a team of archaeologists in Switzerland came across a startling discovery.

Their findings are published in the and are now helping recontextualize the remains while also addressing the field's longstanding ethical issues.
