They found a tuft of brown hair

Then wouldn't a quick DNA test settle the identity of the "creature" pretty definitively?

Interesting question. I believe that the answer could well be that the DNA of a close relative to a human is highly likely to be nearly indistinguishable from human. However, I'm no specialist in this field... I hope someone with more knowledge answers you.

Not if it doesn't match any known critter. To the best of my knowledge, several of these tufts have been recovered which have come back with the results "unknown."
