I think that people who believe in mythical creatures like unicorns, dragons, lmps, hippogriffs, manticorns, gnomes, mermaids, griffins, fairies,etc. believe in Sasquatch or yeti. There is some evidence the existence of these creatures is possible, but it is not scientifically proven they exist and this evidence could be anything other than what people say they are. This is some of the evidence people claim they have on the existence of the yeti and Sasquatch. Some claim to have found DNA samples of the Sasquatch and Yeti. Sharon Hill said “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 Committee for Skeptical Inquiry …show more content…
Over time Ketchum received many more DNA samples. Most hair samples tested turn out to be other animals like cows, dogs, horses, and bears. I don't believe they have proven these DNA samples are Sasquatch or yeti hair samples, but it could be possible. A geneticist from Oxford University well-known for his research on human evolution ,Bryan Sykes, comment on an international research study. He said, “An international research team has published an analysis of dozens of hair samples from mystery animals around the world. None reveal existence of Yeti or Bigfoot.” (Science news.org) Footprints have been claimed to have been found and thought to be from the Yeti or Sasquatch. Jeffrey Meldrum, Department of Biological Sciences, said “Hundreds of large humanoid footprints have been discovered and many have been photographed or preserved as plaster casts.” In his article there are many pictures of large footprints that could be the yeti or Sasquatch. It states that “The footprints measured approximately 35 cm (13.75 in) long and 13 cm (5.25 in) wide.” Whenever people find footprints they take a cast molding of them and try to sell them. These footprints are probably not
