DNA readings from dozens of hair samples linked to sightings of Bigfoot, Yeti and other legendary monsters show that the hairs came instead from run-of-the-mill animals such as bears and cows but the researcher behind the project says Bigfoot hunters needn't give up hope just yet. "I don't think this finishes the Bigfoot myth at all," Oxford geneticist Bryan Sykes told NBC News. "What it does do is show that there is a way for Bigfoot enthusiasts to go back out into the forest and get the real thing." Sign up for Science news delivered to your inbox Sykes' findings, published in this week's issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Academy B, follow up on a yearlong effort to bring in and analyze samples collected by monster-hunters and fringe-science researchers known as cryptozoologists. One of his key findings was revealed last year, when Sykes reported that two hair samples attributed to the mysterious Himalayan monster known as the Yeti (or "Abominable Snowman") were a genetic match for a 40,000-year-old jawbone from a polar bear that lived in the Norwegian Arctic. Sykes is writing a book about that case, titled "The Yeti Enigma," and he's organizing an expedition to the … Continue reading →

PLATTE CITY, MO (KCTV) - Investigators say DNA helped them catch a man whose crime spree put hundreds of people in danger because they couldn't call 911. Police say Tommy J. Kitchell was cutting down telephone wires in Platte County and left some big clues at the crime scene. "We found DNA on the inside of a ball cap, as well as wire cutters found at the scene of the crime," said Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd. Crime lab analysts compared the DNA at the crime scene to the CODIS database, which is a database of convicted offenders' DNA. Investigators say Kitchell's DNA matched the DNA found near missing telephone wires. "People are familiar that we use it in murder cases and rape cases. What they ought to understand is we use it in a whole variety of cases, like this, that involve tampering with copper wire. We use it in burglary cases and car stealing cases," Zahnd said. Thieves are going to new heights to cash in on copper. They steal telephone and electrical wire and sell the copper inside those wires. The crime is putting people's safety in jeopardy. "It adds seconds to that emergency alerting. So it … Continue reading →

TIME Science animals DNA Study Proves Bigfoot Never Existed Juuuuust in case... Lynn Janes, Photonica; Getty Curse you, reliable DNA studies! Must you spoil all the fun? In a stunning finding that set off shock waves of grieving through much of the world, University of Oxford researchers announced that the beloved bipedal cryptid known globally as Bigfoot is deador, more specifically, that he never existed. Mr. Foot, who also went by the name Sasquatch, or Ssqets in the original Halkomelem, was 4,000 years old. Or maybe not. The Oxford finding was the result of a three-year study that began in 2012 when researchers issued an open call for hair samples held in museums and private collections that were said to come from an anomalous primate, which is the kind of term scientists from a place like Oxford University often use when theyre publishing a peer-reviewed paper on, you know, Bigfoot, and dont want to be snickered at by other Oxford University scientists in the faculty lounge. Thirty-six samples from the U.S., Russia, Indonesia, India, Bhutan and Nepal were ultimately submitted, a geographical range that suggested a) there was more than one anomalous primate out there, b) there is only one, … Continue reading →

Oxford University genetics professor Bryan Sykes holds a DNA sample taken from the hair of a Himalayan animal. (Channel 4 Television) LONDON DNA testing is taking a bite out of the Bigfoot legend. After scientists analyzed more than 30 hair samples reportedly left behind by Bigfoot and similar mythical beasts such as the Himalayan Yeti, they found all of them came from more mundane creatures, including bears, wolves, cows and raccoons. In 2012, researchers at Oxford University and the Lausanne Museum of Zoology issued an open call asking museums, scientists and Bigfoot aficionados to share any samples they thought were from the legendary apelike creatures. "I thought there was about a 5 percent chance of finding a sample from a Neanderthal or (a Yeti)," said Bryan Sykes of Oxford University, who led the research, the first peer-reviewed study of Bigfoot, Yeti and other "anomalous primates." The study was published online Wednesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. See the rest here: DNA tests show bigfoot hair samples from bears, wolves, raccoons … Continue reading →

LONDON -- In 2012, researchers at Oxford University and the Lausanne Museum of Zoology issued an open call asking museums, scientists and Bigfoot aficionados to share any samples they thought were from the legendary ape-like creatures. "I thought there was about a 5 percent chance of finding a sample from a Neanderthal or (a Yeti)," said Bryan Sykes of Oxford University, who led the research, the first peer-reviewed study of Bigfoot, Yeti and other "anomalous primates." The study was published online Wednesday in the journal, Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Sykes and colleagues tested 36 hair samples from Bhutan, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Russia and the U.S. using DNA sequencing and all of them matched DNA from known animals. Most were from bears, but there were also hairs from a Malaysian tapir, horses, porcupine, deer, sheep, and a human. While Sykes said they didn't find any proof of Bigfoot-related creatures, he acknowledged their paper doesn't prove they don't exist. "The fact that none of these samples turned out to be (a Yeti) doesn't mean the next one won't," he said. The scientists did find two samples from ancient polar bears in the Himalayas, who are not known to live there. … Continue reading →
