I come at this from a different angle. I wasn't aware of the existence of the PGF until about 7-10 years ago, long after my first sighting. The figure in the film looks enough like what I saw to suggest to me very strongly she is exactly what they said she is, no hoax involved. If I were going to perpetrate a hoax, I would do one thing well, not do one thing only halfway well, then try to do another halfway well to validate the first. In practice, it creates twice as many things that have to stand up to scrutiny and if either fails, it pulls down the house of cards. Nope, in the case of a hoax it is wisest to put all your eggs in one basket and make it a very good basket indeed. The bottom line is, at this point, all attempts to prove the PGF, tracks, etc have failed on an epic scale. The denialists have failed in every attempt and now resort to special pleading and a lot of juvenile "but but but"-ing. They're pathetic. It's become religion to them. They're too wrapped up in their denial to see that every failure on their part strengthens the perception of validity in the mind of honest skeptics and honest believers alike. And of course, knowers don't need the PGF so how the failed debunking affects them doesn't really need to be discussed. (Besides, the laughter speaks for itself.) MIB

http://doubtfulnews.com/2015/04/the-story-of-zana-wild-woman-has-been-solved-through-dna-analysis/ read the comments too and go from there Your knowledge on this ancient homo species is beyond me. If Zana and her 'people' came from Africa as the first wave of a type of homo/ape people to reach Asia that later crossed the land bridge, this might explain how our Bigfoot is reported to have human/ape qualities. http://doubtfulnews.com/2015/04/the-story-of-zana-wild-woman-has-been-solved-through-dna-analysis/ This come from the comments on the article. This possibility is not just remote. And to answer spookyparadigm and others and their theories about racial abuse etc. I would suggest that you read the book by Sykes before you express a conclusion to Sykes`s research on Zana. Therefore I cite some statements by Sykes made in his book: “The well-researched contemporary descriptions suggest to me that Zana had nothing to do with the modern world.†“The details (of her mitochondrial DNA) place Zana in the L 2C lineage, one of the oldest 12 matrilineal African clans (and therefore NOT the ancestors of modern humans, my comment)….Zana would be a survivor from an African diaspora that fizzled out in the face of competition – the later spread of Homo sapiens that left her ancestors hanging on in the remote valleys of the Caucasus.†“I also had the scraps of her nuclear genome scattered among her descendants. Again, the African segments DID NOT match any records.†“I am hard at work making sense of it and I hope to know soon whether Zanan was indeed a survivor of an antique race of humans.†So: Sykes will publish a scientific paper on Zana in the near future. We have to wait until this paper to be totally sure. But does this citations sound like a modern African slave? Certainly not…Sykes has found something and it sounds that the Russian anthropologists who believed Zana was a surviving Neanderthal were not this far from the truth. Well, Zana, as Sykes writes, was not a Neanderthal, but from his book it becomes totally clear that by time of writing he was convinced that Zana was NOT a modern Homo sapiens sapiens (like all people today on this planet). What exactly, we will see very soon…

Since you're such a stickler for having evidence to back up claims, perhaps you could point us to those "cow tracks". And HIflier: How do you suggest that I stop them from coming here? I can't stop feeding them, because I already don't. I keep the windows covered so they can't watch TV. I leave the gate unlocked..... I'm at a loss here. Please help me!!!
