Bugs, Birds, Bats and even some fish have all developed wings independently. The genes for these features, on our planet, when developed independently, don't resemble each other at all.

If even earth-bound creatures can develop similar features with entirely dissimilar genetic sequences, then we can assume that in general, independently evolved lineages of life will tend to look dissimilar in their genes, not similar.

The genetic similarities we find in these "alien" samples is strong evidence, very strong, that the source of the genetic information is indeed the Earth.

Aren't these stone figurines, which are claimed to be depictions of aliens?

Are you asking if this recording really happened in Mexican Congress or if the corpses are really aliens? (Nobody is denying the former.) The Hindustan Times would be the better source to use in the question.

'over 30% of the specimens’ DNA was “unknown”'. All that means is "we don't know what that DNA is". Could be a dog, could be a cat, could be a turtle. Doesn't mean its alien. And radiocarbon dating is unrelated to DNA analysis.

@CuriousIndeed I think that would count as "some basic biological molecule". Saying it's a long way from there to an independent form of life that happens to have a decodable genetic code similar enough to ours that 70% of it would be recognisable from known genomes, is like saying it's a long way to walk to Alpha Centauri. In other words, it would be a ridiculously unlikely coincidence.
