"Sasquatch Genome Project claims Bigfoot is both real and part human"

By: Lynk Paul - Editor, Team Tracker

 

This controversial study has indeed caused quite a stir among Bigfoot enthusiasts and researchers over the past five years since it's inception.

 

 I swear I didn't give anyone any samples from me nor did they use me as a control sample source

Some people in the Bigfoot community are per-maturely celebrating what they say is new scientific proof that Sasquatch exists. But based on what exactly? A five-year genetic study funded by Bigfoot-believing businessman Adrian Erickson? The Sasquatch Genome Project, lead by Melba Ketchum, claims to have sequenced three complete nuclear genomes of the legendary beast and found it is a new type of hominin hybrid that arose approximately 15,000 years ago.

Although this can be considered to be quite exciting news to the average person who do not fully understand the history and science behind this creature and this study, many samples were submitted for DNA testing in this project by researchers from all across the country and for the past 5 years, these alleged samples have undergone many tests by a few DNA labs. But for the samples that came back as known, dog, bear, coyote, skunk, deer, Moose, or even human; there WERE samples that came back as unknown and were classified as contaminated.

For carefully controlled samples that came back as unknown, not contaminated, what source did they use to compare and confirm that the sample did indeed come from a real Sasquatch in the first place???


“Our study has sequenced 20 whole mitochondrial genomes and utilized next generation sequencing to obtain 3 whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples. The genome sequencing shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens, but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo sapiens and other primate species,” the group said in a press release.

At a news conference held Tuesday in Dallas, Texas, the researchers shared “never before seen HD video” of a furry, “reddish-brown Sasquatch specimen” snoozing in the Kentucky woods. Not suprisingly, the video has gone viral.

“People have chosen not to believe it,” Erickson told CBS Dallas-Fort Worth. “They can’t find it in their minds to think these things exist.” Erickson spend $500,000 on the study.

According to lead researcher Melba Ketchum, a veterinarian and genetics scientist, her team sent various samples of hair, blood, saliva, and skin, to multiple labs around the U.S., including to New York University (NYU), UT Southwestern, and the North Louisisana Crime Lab to be tested.
“We want people to understand this is a serious study” Ketchum told CBS.

The trouble is, a representative from NYU told the New York Daily News that the university has never had dealings with Ketchum or accepted any data or samples from the Sasquatch Genome Project.
And the NYU statement isn’t the only challenge to Ketchum’s credibility. The Louisiana crime lab told the Daily News that while scientists there extracted some DNA from bones she sent them, she sent the sample for analysis elsewhere.

Another problem is that the Sasquatch Genome Project has yet to provide any credible substantiation of its claims, although Ketchum’s team said on their website that scientific journals have refused to publish their findings because “mainstream science just can’t seem to tolerate something controversial.”

But Todd R. Disotell, an NYU professor of anthropology, told UPI that Ketchum’s claims are “just a joke” and nothing more than “junk science.”
“This was not reported in any scientific way whatsoever,” Disotell said. “It’s complete junk science, and then she misinterprets it. She hasn’t published in peer-reviewed papers on this stuff. I don’t know how this got put together.”

NEED I SAY MORE???????

"The Main Stream Media's Bigfoot Ideas"

 
 
 
(Editor's note: Often times when you read about Bigfoot in the main stream media, you get all kinds of "theories"from A to Z. Here is some of them we found. These are not the opinions of Rick Dyer or Team Tracker)
 
Epic of Gilgamesh:  (Union of Heaven and Earth) called Annunaki
Bible (Sons of God and Women of Men) called Nephilim

The Nephilim were the offspring of the “sons of God” and the “daughters of men” according to Genesis 6:4; and giants who inhabited Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. They were described as “giants.”

The Sumerians text, Epic of Gilgamesh, the Annunaki were supposedly the offspring of two deities; Anu and Ki.  This is also associated with supposedly alien deities. They were often described as very tall and even shapeshifting.

Interestingly, the Bible and The Epic of Gilgamesh both told of a flood to obliterate mankind and both describe these half God/half human type offspring who were reported as tall.  When you see several cultures trying to explain something unnatural, you have to wonder if there was something on earth that needed explaining.

Dr. Melba Ketchum’s recently reported Bigfoot DNA report told of a novel hominin that mated with a modern human and created an offspring known to us today as Sasquatch or Bigfoot. Reports were that this novel hominin suddenly showed up in Bigfoot gene pool, but not our gene pool. The conclusion of this would have to be one of three possibilities; this novel hominin is one we have not dug up yet and archived DNA for, it was of alien (outside) origins, or it was the Nephilim/Annunaki.
Let’s make a case for each of these scenarios -

Most likely logical explanation (Okkam’s Razor) is that there was a hominin that we have not accounted for yet. The problem with this is that this novel hominin DNA has not shown up in the general population that we know of. So, if it was mating with humans in the past, the only thing it mated with was a few women who made these future Bigfoot offspring. If we can find traces of Neanderthal or Denisovan in our gene pool throughout continents, this fellow should be swimming around in our genes too.



In the scenario that involves an alien outsider, the hardest part to imagine here is that this alien being was able to mate with human women and create offspring. The options here are that this alien was already part of our genetic origins, a relative of our ancestors (hard to believe given his physical difference – if he added the height and hair-covered body to the Bigfoot attributes) or DNA manipulation was undertaken (think in terms of alien abductions and impregnation). Why they would wish to do this and then leave these tall hairy beings to hide in the woodlands doesn’t make any sense. Bigfoot doesn’t appear to have any important mission here or reason to “invent” him.

The last scenario involving Nephilim/Annunaki, is very ethereal, based on folklore and grandiose stories of angels and aliens. As ridiculous as these concepts seem, two separate ancient texts speak of similar happenings which seems to support some seed of truth. What happened in our past to conceive of such notions? Did they encounter these unusual beings and come up with an explanation for it and, given their knowledge of natural science was lacking, they attributed it to something magical in origin? If aliens or angels mated with humans, why? And why would they even have DNA to add to a physical being? Why the drive to mate? And, wouldn’t these half-breed superhumans be dominating upon the earth and not quiet shy creatures?

The times we are most likely to contemplate the Nephilim/Annunaki in reports of Bigfoot being other dimensional or having oddly persuasive psychic abilities, disappearing in mid step, and mentally speaking to us. These sorts of otherworldly attributes would lead one to this explanation for Bigfoot’s origins. Why does he stay shy and hide from us? Why is he able to evade us so well? The answers could be in an angelic or alien origin. At least, this is what believers interpret.

And, back to Dr. Ketchum’s study; if this truly is revealing something novel that showed up out of nowhere and mated with some women, starting this race of giants, one would have to reconsider the notion of Nephilm – the sons of God and daughters of man – a union on earth that could have had lasting effects for a population called Bigfoot.
