WATCH: Could DNA be Linked to Bigfoot Species?

 

A team of scientists led by Texas veterinarian Dr. Melba Ketchum claim that their 5-year long study of DNA confirms the existence of "a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called 'Bigfoot' or 'Sasquatch,'" in North America. According to the study, the scientists believe that the Sasquatch species is a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens and an unknown species of primate that arose approximately 15,000 years ago.

In a press release, Ketchum said, "Sasquatch nuclear DNA is incredibly novel and not at all what we had expected. While it has human nuclear DNA within its genome, there are also distinctly non-human, non-archaic hominin, and non-ape sequences. We describe it as a mosaic of human and novel non-human sequence. Further study is needed and is ongoing to better characterize and understand Sasquatch nuclear DNA."

So does this mean that Bigfoot[s] could in fact be real?

In this past Sunday's episode of Finding Bigfoot, Matt, Cliff, Bobo and Ranae took their own found DNA sample to be tested. To see what they uncovered, check out the clip below:

Sometimes I really don't care if Sasquatch is real or not.. it is just extremely FUN for me to think "it could happen" hahahaha To go camping where Bigfoot has been sighted, just adds some fun to the entire stay! "what if?"

[Matthew]

No matter if this "evidence" proves anything, Sasquatches are real and you would have to be pretty dumb to say they're fake.

[Jacki]

If they suspect so many times that the Bigfoots see they are human from a distance and go away, why don't they wear fur covered clothing or gilley suits?

The older I get the more I relize nothing is impossible. I find close minded people entertaining especially when they are slapped in the face with the "impossible". Simple slow humans.

To all those who don't believe, I must remind you that the Mountain Gorilla and the Cougar weren't discovered until way after they actually first arrived.
Animals are smart.... and vveryyy sneaky

I have a better chance in finding Bigfoot..Look I watch the show and sometimes I want to slap Moneymaker.I really think he makes up things on the spot when the camera is on him..I tell you what Animal Planet how about sending me along with a tv crew and call it " Bigfoot sighting "

I keep an open mind about everything..These stories started for a reason @_@

[Dan]

They should rename that show NOT Finding Bigfoot.

[Brittany]

Its about time! I know their real. Ask yourself this, can a "big smelly animal" such as a bear catch deer? Yes. Just because you can't SEE air, does that mean it isn't real? No. Their out their. Just you wait and see.

[Tabo]

The parents of the vet should have named him Ash..

[CarlTypePerson]

This would be quite interesting if it turned out to be true.

[mick dundee]

Not even possible,There is a ten million dollar reward for proof of "bigfoots" existence.
There is just no way for a huge animal to survive in america with out some physical evidence. Deer for food source, no way a smelly big animal even gets close to a deer.

Kill one or stfu. no more out of focus pictures or fake foot prints.

I lov this finally i hopewe find somethin. There so sneaky though, but i wouldnt want them hurt or tested. I would just lov to see 1 thats all

[Rod]

I do not believe in this "evidence". It is all fabricated to fool everyone!
