That can’t be. DNA evidence of my Bigfoot Java coffee says it was brewed by white Snowmen. You can’t convince me otherwise.

In other news, liberal perverts have been raping bears while they hibernate.

I think if I stumbled into the lair of a brown bear Instead of a Yeti I would still be concerned. Like hi big doggie. No need to get up. I will just be going now.

“One finding—that the Himalayan brown bear and the Tibetan brown bear had such clearly distinct mtDNA—was surprising, he notes, because subspecies are often genetically similar: “I didn’t expect that.” “

So - what they admit is that they don’t know as much as they think they do. I would include the possibility of Yeti in there. (I would like to think that they are “real” - but have my doubts as well.)

The one kicker in this study was that these samples are from areas where witnesses claimed they saw a Yeti. So with so few sightings, and being able to say that the few sightings with physical evidence all indicated it was a native animal is pretty damning.

But.....

They found DNA that came from items that had been believed to be Yetis. Believed to be. They have not proved anything beyond that.

I’ve been following this off and on since I read Ivan T. Sanderson’s books back in the 1960s. I always thought something fishy was going on. Back in those days Popular Mechanics (or was it Science) made the statement that proof would be found within ten years. It wasn’t.

Skin a bear and he will pass for human.
