DNA from samples taken at sightings of Bigfoot have been sequenced in Texas.   The scientists have concluded that Bigfoot is a hybrid human and should be treated as a fellow part of the human family.  The article includes the following:
 

Nov. 24--A team of scientists can verify that their 5-year long DNA study, currently under peer-review, confirms the existence of a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch,” living in North America. Researchers’ extensive DNA sequencing suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an unknown primate species.

The study was conducted by a team of experts in genetics, forensics, imaging and

pathology, led by Dr. Melba S. Ketchum of Nacogdoches, TX. In response to recent interest in the study, Dr. Ketchum can confirm that her team has sequenced 3 complete Sasquatch nuclear genomes and determined the species is a human hybrid:

Bones and teeth from sites in China as well as sites in Vietnam included massive humanoid jawbones and teeth,  prompting anthropologists to define a new species called Gigantopithicus.  Could the Bigfoot of today be related to these anthropological finds?  Could Bigfoot really be some sort of hybrid from a long ago time or is Bigfoot one of the original humans that was on this planet before the current human? 

The great apes of today all have 48 chromosomes (includes gorilla, chimpanzee, orangutan, and bonobo); however, the human only has 46 chromosomes.  The obvious difference between humans and other apes include the ability to walk upright, speech, brain size, muscle strength, teeth, and body hair.  I have placed a call in, to the Dallas scientists asking what the chromosome count was for the Bigfoot samples.  They have not released this information but rather anticipate another paper release in the coming weeks.  I will update this site with information when I get it.
