... The team was led by Dr. Melba S. Ketchum who says that her study sequenced 20 complete mitochondrial genomes obtained from purported Sasquatch samples. She says that the sequencing proved that the mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, however the nuDNA from the samples is from an unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species.

The scientists claim that Bigfoot is the result of a male of the unknown primate species mating with a female Homo sapiens. Genetic testing of the samples has ruled out relation to Homo Neanderthalis and the Denisova hominin as contributors to the Sasquatch mtDNA or nuDNA. Ketchum has called on public officials and law enforcement to recognize the Sasquatch as an indigenous people. The researchers promise full details of the study will be presented when the manuscript is published ...
