However, recently doubts reappeared. Ron Clarke and Lee Berger from the same Witwatersrand University in Johannesburg have all this time been trying to solve the mystery of a strange creature by conducting research on its remains.
As a result, they came to the conclusion that these remains do not belong to man. In their opinion, Darth discovered ... the skull of an alien. The poor man did not die by his own death, as evidenced by the characteristic damage on his skull. Such traces remain after falling on sharp stones.
Ron Clarke and Lee Berger are also 100 percent convinced that the humanoid was an adult, not a child. It is likely that his interplanetary ship landed unsuccessfully, or the humanoid himself made an unsuccessful first step on an unknown planet. It is not excluded, "the child from Таунга" was lost as a result of attack of the big predatory bird.
This conclusion is pushed by other remains - the bones of monkeys found on the same site. If the theory of Ron Clark and Lee Berger is correct, then, given the age of the find (2.5 million years), it can be concluded that "a child from Taung" is the oldest of the extraterrestrials discovered at the moment.

Probably we still do not know who it really is.
