From their official site: tridactyls.org/dna

Methodology
The study used Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyze DNA from tissue samples.
Data was uploaded to the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) at the U.S. National Library of Medicine for comparison with known genomes.

>Specimen: "María" (1.60 m, humanoid)

>Hand Bone Sample (WGS Ancient0003):
>647,789,366 read sequences were obtained.
>97.38% of these were identified; 2.62% remained unknown.
>30.22% of the identified sequences matched Homo sapiens.
>3.05% matched the genus Pan (Pan troglodytes and Pan paniscus), suggesting a connection to chimpanzees or bonobos.
>The unidentified 2.62% may explain unique traits like tridactylism.

>Conclusions for María:
>María is likely a hybrid organism, potentially of a new species.
>The proposed scientific name is Homopan tridactyla.
>Haplogroup analysis (from Alaina Hardie’s research) suggests:
>Mitochondrial haplogroup M20a (linked to Myanmar populations).
>Y-chromosome haplogroup O2a1c1a6a2 (linked to Han Chinese populations).

------

The story so far is that these mummies were found 2015 in a Peruvian cemetery (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chauchilla_Cemetery), and the individuals have 3 digits on each hand and 3 digits on each foot. One female seems to be pregnant with a fetus, but another seems to be carrying a number of eggs.

Local indigenous artwork also depicts tridactyl humanoid shapes.
