What does anencephaly have to do with his height?

Especially as he had a full set of teeth, something that an infant, with or without anencenphaly, do not have, and he also had solid food in his stomach (meat) ; from article :
"However, without Pedro’s body, it cannot be proven he suffered from the same condition- especially as there is evidence that suggests Pedro was not a child at all.
Pedro’s full height has been estimated to be 14 inches in total- certainly the right size for a baby. However, he also exhibited features associated with a fully-grown adult. The mummy had a full set of teeth and x rays also revealed what appeared to be the remains of solid food in his stomach. Furthermore, there were signs on his body that he did not die a natural death. The mummy’s spine appeared to be damaged, his collarbone broken and his skull been smashed by a blow that could have resulted in the exposed brain tissue."

@ Okama-San I don't mean to be rude, but why should we use that website? It doesn't seem to meet WP:RS. I can't even find an "about" page. But anencephaly is 100% fatal and the longest a baby is known to have lived is 2 years, so clearly very relevant to its height. Doug Weller talk 08:28, 15 September 2023 (UTC) reply

Cuts

@ Ceoil: Why did you cut the entire post-discovery history, including the analysis that substantiates the mummy's being an anencephalic infant, and the full name of "Gill"? Much of the intro is now unsupported in the text. Yngvadottir ( talk) 22:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the self-revert; I've added another source from WikiProject Archaeology and made some other tweaks. Yngvadottir ( talk) 10:01, 23 April 2024 (UTC) reply

New changes look good. Apologies for being so hasty in making the first cuts, and to say your an editor I have held in high regard over the years. Ceoil ( talk) 08:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC) reply
