Full Title: Was 19th Century apewoman a yeti? 6ft 6in Russian serf who could outrun a horse was 'not human', according to DNA tests

Witnesses said Zana the apewoman had the 'characteristics of a wild animal'

She was allegedly trapped in Caucusus mountains and covered in thick hair

Had 'enormous athletic power' and she could infamously outrun a horse

A genetics professor has analysed DNA of six of her living descendants

Hundreds of explorers, theorists and fantasists have spent their lives searching for the infamous 'big-foot'.

But a leading geneticist believes he has found evidence to prove that it - or rather she - could have been more than a myth.

Professor Bryan Sykes of the University of Oxford claims a towering woman named Zana who lived in 19th Century Russia - and appeared to be 'half human, half ape' - could have been the fabled yeti.

Famously known as the ape woman, Zana had at least four children by local men and some of her descendants still live in the region, the Times reported.

Vodka. It's a hell of a drug!

There was an article in the Reader’s Digest a few months ago about a family that, for their own safety, retreated into the Siberian outback during the Bolshevik revolution. They were there for over 40 years surviving with rudimentary home-made hand tools, etc. They had a son who, when they wanted meat, would simply spend days running down a deer until it was completely exhausted, with no shoes. The thing most missed over those 40-some years, was salt. When they were finally “repatriated” into civilization, the father gobbled down salt, and died within a few days. His body couldn’t handle the shock.

Years ago, in the mid 1970s, someone tried to pass off a retouched photo of a South American Native with a monkey face. They tried to prove that a race of New World monkey men existed in South America.

It was also quite common for Gypsies to kidnap children, mutilate them by cutting various body parts off, and later put them on display as caged animals.

“they tested 6 of her living descendants. that means someone had to do the deed.”

My God, look at her picture...I bet even Laz wouldn't hit that.

You underestimate Laz. If it has only X chromosomes and moves, he will tag it.

No, they don’t make vodka that strong.
