I just knew somehow that genetic science is much further ahead than I am which is why I started this thread: To specifically address the topic of discussion. The OP lays out the basis for my thinking.And while I don't understand much of the article I think I'm headed in the right direction. https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(19)30954-7 That said: "Summary Denisovans are an extinct group of humans whose morphology remains unknown. Here, we present a method for reconstructing skeletal morphology using DNA methylation patterns. Our method is based on linking unidirectional methylation changes to loss-of-function phenotypes. We tested performance by reconstructing Neanderthal and chimpanzee skeletal morphologies and obtained >85% precision in identifying divergent traits. We then applied this method to the Denisovan and offer a putative morphological profile. We suggest that Denisovans likely shared with Neanderthals traits such as an elongated face and a wide pelvis. We also identify Denisovan-derived changes, such as an increased dental arch and lateral cranial expansion. Our predictions match the only morphologically informative Denisovan bone to date, as well as the Xuchang skull, which was suggested by some to be a Denisovan. We conclude that DNA methylation can be used to reconstruct anatomical features, including some that do not survive in the fossil record."

We had a chance to use it in the field this past weekend. The simplicity of this unit cannot be overstated. No 'video out' cables or separate recording units to fumble with in the dark. The ability to capture images and video at the press of a button is great. Even if we step up to another unit with better resolution, we will keep the Scout TK in our arsenal.

See: thepaintedcave.com it will have the image above based on Patty, which the artist describes as a sketch made over the top of the image from the film. Pete Travers has also on his website other sketches, with different head shapes, based on various witnesses.

Couldn't disagree more. People find the tribes. The tribes are Homo Sapiens sapiens. That's a big difference. Science didn't even go in and shoot a Bili Ape to prove them real. Time to put things into proper perspective? If you don't like the idea of hooting a Sasquatch to gain a voucher specimen, and please don't think anyone likes the idea either, then push for a better way. I've mentioned e-DNA as a way. Push for that. instead of wasting time with the no-kill/pro-kill debate. Take action to back up your position. Every now and then I bring up the Olympic Peninsula nesting site. I'm the only one who ever does. Why do you think that is? Sink you teeth into something that might have a chance of going somewhere because it's the only way to feel good about doing something positive that could result in keeping a Sasquatch out of someone's gunsight.

Somebody took a leak there before the sasquatch built his nest on the spot. But it couldn't have been me, because the DNA results would have come back as Neanderthal with a high level of alcohol in the urine.
