Happy to report Doug passed his goal of funding, which means that he gets the money, and the documentary is a "go"

https://play.history.com/shows/historys-greatest-mysteries/season-4/episode-15 Finally the History channel’s show: Histories Greatest Mysteries will cover Bigfoot! This is gonna be good.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ada_Blackjack I've always been real impressed with Inuit women.

Bobbie Short reported that Lyle Laverty found a nest on Scorpion Ridge, directly above the PG film site.

I dunno. I also don’t know if she tangos, basket weaves, golf’s a 4 handicap or belongs to the Eagles woman’s auxiliary….. she failed to mention any of that during her Bluff creek interview with Roger.

This is all I got after I got done.

You have answered an age-old question, but the main question remains: The dinosaur came before the chicken, but we must still wonder if it came before the egg……..

I think you're picking imaginary nits. Humans are primates. They did not mis-speak. That they could have been more specific does not mean what they said was incorrect. You're trying to play "gotcha games" twisting meaning of words to your purpose to trap people who aren't even here to address your questions. Even if you convince every person here, you've accomplished nothing, moved the needle not at all. So why waste your angst? If you want to know, go ask Disotell or Meldrum for clarification. If you don't want to know, don't want to make the effort, well, I guess that says enough. MIB

It doesn't work that way, otherwise Denisovan or any other determined ancient Human branch wouldn't get categorized as Human. And rather than go down that hypothetical rabbit hole let's look at it this way, ancient fauna's DNA, no matter the animal, has been sequenced relatively well without turning a Human into a Chimp or anything else. Or turning a Chimp into a Human. It makes me curious how degraded or not degraded that supposed Chimp DNA was when Dr. Mayor found it. Or how degraded or not degraded any Human DNA that was there had been and why it wasn't somehow confused with Chimp? Because that kind of genus swap or overlap, like what you're describing, doesn't happen. Sure, we share DNA with lots of things, that's Nature, but for science species distinction (identification) has been fine tuned so precisely that a creature's identifying genus DNA will always be that creature's genus DNA. The nest soil's genus Homo DNA will never be anything but genus Homo DNA no matter how old or degraded. And since it was the only reported primate DNA picked up in the samples what is one supposed to think about the Sasquatch if in fact it was the builder? Because like I said, if the Sasquatch wasn't the builder then the only other candidates are Humans- which, as stated, would be a whole other story in and of itself. Again, bottom line, no non-Human primate DNA was detected. But I'm the only one that I know of that has brought out the glaring more precise conclusions and obvious implications of those test results. To me there is no other avenue to pursue on those nest structures outside of Human.......or novel Human. I have not heard of any of our esteemed PhD's step up and clarify that for the general believing public which, of course left "intelligent ape" not only on the table but in our imaginations as well. This whole issue regarding the Olympic Peninsula nest builders, i.e. not apes but instead Humans or novel Humans, should have been settled years ago. Why wasn't it?

That would be ridiculous to think so. Or else I wouldn't have been asking early on, way back, if the presence of Human DNA could have been from past SERE training. Scientists collect DNA from the wild every day. Dr. Mayor got Chimp DNA from eastern KY. What makes you think that if there was Chimp, or any other primate genus DNA in those nests that an expert in that field (primate evolutionary genetics) like Dr Disotell, who's basically Dr. Mayor's peer in that discipline, wouldn't see it in HIS lab results? Ya know, sometimes I think people simply like to debate when trotting out stuff like, "You’re assuming that the nests were sterile until Randles found them." That only tells me that you're either dancing around in order to not address the points I've been making (for whatever reason) or you not getting the message of the points I've been making. This isn't my first rodeo on discussing what's behind what these "experts" have said and what they have not said. This is about both- what they've said which easily presents what they haven't or won't say. My whole thing boils down to this: Either Sasquatch built the nests or it didn't. If it did and it isn't Human then its DNA would show a different genus no matter HOW DEGRADED. The fact that only the DNA of genus HOMO was found really says it all, Norseman. I repeat- It says it all. Only genus Homo was there! That's what everyone needs to fully understand. No other primate but genus Homo, degraded or not. And that's the point- that's what needs to sink in. That's why I'm bringing it up. Burn it into your brains folks.......genus Homo was the only primate at that nest site. No great Apes outside of genus Homo. And that's what we should have been being told by our own scientists. We weren't. What we were told only left the carrot dangling between Human and novel primate. No one ever said NON-HUMAN novel primate (different genus entirely). One of those experts should have clarified that for everyone right from the get go. Novel HUMAN, or novel NON-HUMAN. No one ever said even though they knew how huge that difference was and how much it would have affected the narrative. And you folks know I'm CORRECT about this.

I am good friends with a former SERE instructor out of Fort Lewis. We used to work together in corporate security. Great guy and has some funny stories about training in the mountains. When I asked him about Bigfoot, he didn't want to talk about it. The next day he brought in one of his SERE maps and pointed to a corner of it and said that the US Government believes in Bigfoot and so did he...

While this is excellent news and I enjoyed LMS (also own the book), I wonder what new research or evidence they can produce that will further the cause. I really don't think there has been any major discoveries of much relevance as of late or has there? What are they going to do? Rehash Patty for the millionth time? Reexamine the Sierra sounds once more? Do a deep dive into the Freeman footage? What more could be done that can go beyond the first LMS?

If this tread is devolving into diversion then there's no point in me being here. Back on topic then I'm here but in the mean time? See ya
