Scientists Are Debating What The "Yeti" Actually Is
Last year, Oxford University genetics professor Bryan Sykes revealed the results of DNA tests on hairs said to be from the Abominable Snowman matched the samples with the DNA of an ancient polar bear. "Not so fast!" says two other scientists. According to their re-analysis of the same data, the hairs actually belong to the Himalayan bear, a sub-species of the brown bear:
The sample from Ladakh came from the mummified remains of a creature shot by a hunter around 40 years ago, while the second sample was in the form of a single hair, found in a bamboo forest by an expedition of filmmakers about 10 years ago.
The samples were subjected to the most advanced tests available.
Prof Sykes said the most likely explanation for the myth was that the animal was a hybrid of polar bears and brown bears.
The research was reported widely by the media last year and, in July this year, published by the Royal Society.
However, following re-analysis of the same data, Dr Edwards and Dr Barnett argue that the hybrid bear does not exist in the Himalayas.
They said the previous research mistakenly matched DNA to an ancient Pleistocene polar bear, instead of a modern polar bear.
In their paper, Dr Edwards and Dr Barnett said their tests identified the hairs as being from a rare type of brown bear.

DeleteSo...it's still a bear right? Not a novel hominin?
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why I keep telling you Skeptard Knuckle-heads ----- Don't trust Science with the Big questions, they make mistakes all the time.
DeleteBiologist ----- thats a primate leg ----Aligator!
Genetisist --- Ancient Bear ------- Himilayan Bear!
And no such thing as Evolution, mathematical impossibility!
No such thing as "aligators" either.
DeleteYeah, don't trust scientists who may not pinpoint exactly which ancient bear a hair came from. Instead, trust bigfoot "researchers" who claim every pile of sticks, every blob on a video, every sound in the woods is definitive proof of bigfoot.
DeleteYeah don't trust science unless their answers back up my loony beliefs.
Delete...It may not even be a novel bear according to this study...
DeleteWhat you know about science would fit in the ear of a gnat.
