New Study Unveils Bigfoot as a Hybrid Hominine Species

A video posted on YouTube by the channel Wild Assault has been making waves in the Bigfoot community. The video, titled "Bigfoot Evidence...Irrefutable DNA That Mainstream Science Overlooked," presents a fascinating case for the existence of Bigfoot based on DNA evidence. I was intrigued by the video and decided to delve deeper into the claims made in it. The video discusses a study led by Dr. Melba Ketchum, a veterinarian and forensic scientist, who claimed to have discovered DNA evidence proving the existence of Bigfoot. The study suggested that Bigfoot is a novel hominine species, part human and part something entirely unknown. Despite the groundbreaking implications, Dr. Ketchum's research was widely dismissed by the scientific community and ridiculed in the media. The study analyzed 111 biological samples attributed to Bigfoot, including hair, blood, skin, saliva, and tissue samples. The samples were collected from multiple locations across North America, many provided by witnesses with extensive knowledge of wildlife, such as hunters, trackers, and Indigenous communities. To ensure the validity of the samples, they were subjected to a rigorous chain of custody protocol, processed in clean rooms to eliminate the possibility of contamination, and analyzed using Next Generation sequencing (NGS), one of the most advanced techniques available. The results of the study produced two extraordinary findings. First, the mitochondrial DNA was 100% identical to modern Homo sapiens, indicating that Sasquatch's maternal lineage came from human females. Second, the nuclear DNA contained novel genetic markers that did not match any known species, suggesting that Sasquatch is a hybrid species resulting from interbreeding between modern human female and an unknown hominine species roughly 15,000 years ago. While the study was highly controversial, it is essential to examine the criticisms and counterarguments raised by skeptics. The video does an excellent job of breaking down the Ketchum study and presenting evidence supporting its legitimacy. One of the primary objections raised by critics was the publication process. The study was initially submitted to mainstream scientific journals but was rejected due to the subject matter's bias. Dr. Ketchum established the denovo Journal of Science, a last resort to ensure the findings could be shared with the public. Another objection was DNA contamination. Critics claimed that the human mitochondrial DNA in the samples could result from contamination by human handlers. However, the video explains that every sample was processed in sterile conditions, and all laboratory work was conducted under strict forensic protocols. The lack of independent verification is another criticism raised by skeptics. However, several independent laboratories involved in the study corroborated the findings of the anomalous DNA sequences. The assertion that Bigfoot is a hybrid species was seen as too extraordinary to be plausible by some critics. However, scientific breakthroughs often challenge established paradigms, and the discovery of Denisovans, a previously unknown hominin species, initially faced skepticism but was later validated. The video also discusses the Sierra kill sample provided by a hunter who claimed to have shot two Bigfoot creatures in 2010. The DNA from the sample does not match any known bear species and contains unique sequences that cannot be attributed to contamination or misidentification. Wrapping up, the video presents a compelling case for the existence of Bigfoot based on DNA evidence. While the study was highly controversial and met with criticism, it is essential to examine the evidence and counterarguments presented in the video. As Bigfoot believers, we should encourage readers to watch the video and investigate the evidence further.
