Genetics professor investigates the Yeti
http://thebookseller.com/news/yeti-title-genetics-professor.html

"in the provisionally titled "The Quest for the Yeti, A DNA
Detective Story" ... Bryan Sykes, professor of genetics at
Oxford University, is to investigate whether there are genetic
traces of species including the Yeti."
...
The Quest for the Yeti will describe Sykes' hunt for genetic
traces of species whose existence remains scientifically
unconfirmed, including the Yeti, the Sasquatch and Big Foot.

For the most part the samples he has tracked down for analysis
have turned out to be known species such as bears, raccoons or
cows; however two samples taken towards the end of his quest
will "change our understanding of human history," he says.

Towards the end of his quest, BTW, he spent about a week in
the Pacific NW visiting a well-known "Footers."

Three years later and nothing on a topic that has been lingering for a very long time. Not a good sign for believers I spec.

Personally I find Nessie more interesting than Bigfoot.

I thought Scooby Doo tracked down all of the Yeti, Bigfoot, Loch Ness, Abominable Snowman, and mythical Honest Democrats back when I was a kid.
Who knew?

JSF, I grew up and live in British Columbia. There are countless stories of Bigfoot or Sasquatch here. First Nations people believe in them.

Also there is Lake Okanagan which is in the Okanagan and supposedly has a creature in it. It is called Ogopogo. Think of a North American version of Nessie.

Brenda, this particular post of mine was tongue-in-cheek.
I'm fair certain this thread has many of my honest posts in it.
Have you heard of the giant race(s) found buried in North America?
Do the First Nations consider Bigfoot to be human, another race, or what?

---

Sorry JSF. I thought maybe it was tongue in cheek.

I have heard one such "story" about giants in NA. I heard that when I was child. So memory not too good on it.

First Nations with stories of Sasquatch range from Alaska, Yukon through BC and down into the Pacific Northwest, Oregon and California. It's not considered human and depending on which tribe you are talking to, the creature is either harmless or dangerous. Just depends on the tribe. I gather that most consider it a legend.

But the story I added about Ogopogo is another such as I said "Nessie" like creature.

Yes, pretty much: El Dorado gold discovery county, western foothills of
the Sierras about 60 mi west of Lake Tahoe. Bigfoot could walk thru this
neighborhood at night, reeking, & only the dogs would notice.
  We should have Bigfoot sightings, but afaik, few have been reported.





And as soon as I get a coherent post composed, I'd like to discuss the Mound
Builders. JSF, you're calling them Giants? They were about twice our height
& lived in mounds. These were famously built all over our great Midwest ...
has the government been removing them? This race was not limited to the
Midwest or even to the Americas.


... oooOO}{OOooo ...
