Scientists said, who is Bigfoot

The Bigfoot mystery excites the minds of scientists for many decades. What kind of humanoid creature, also known as the Yetilives in the Himalaya mountains? A new study refutes the findings of geneticists, according to which Bigfoot is a distant relative of the polar bear.

New DNA analysis of hair samples showed that the ancestor of the modern Yeti is a polar bear and other rare species of bear with high ridges of mountains. According to the study, Bigfoot is not a Primate, which does not know the science, and not even a brown bear hybrid as previously thought, but a subspecies of black bear.

Researchers from the universities of Copenhagen and Oxford were again carried out a genetic analysis of hair samples Bigfoot, which was originally researched by Professor Bryan Sykes, from Oxford. He last year declared that the Yeti is the result of crossing bears of two types.





Asiatic black bear – a subspecies of brown bear that inhabits the high ridges of the Himalayas, in remote mountain areas of Pakistan, Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and India. Its population is small, isolated and extremely rare, — said the scientists.

In 1951, British mountaineer Eric Shipton, who performed the climb on Everest, photographed the trail of Bigfoot. Another climber Reinhold Messner, the first conqueror of Everest without oxygen was also told that he had seen a humanoid creature in Tibet in 1986. And that's not counting the stories of local residents about their encounters with APE-like creatures.

Professor Sykes commented on the study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, recognizing the fallacy of their results. He confirmed that the analyzed hair samples of Himalayan Bigfoot do not belong to the primates.
