Agreed, and that is a very important observation. The skepticism, opposition, and denial surrounding dna discoveries has been much more overt than government secrecy and inaction. It must be conquered, but it will take time, consistent results, and increasing realization and acceptance.

Pretty much my thinking as well. But I also think that any more DNA discoveries will serve to validate previous results. I mean, if the results of genus Homo from testing the soil under the nests Washington site is indicative of the creature's true nature then we could be in for quite a ride if those kinds of results keep coming in. What we need are samples taken in the area after an encounter....which has already been done. That result said genus Homo. I think it's time to get some folks motivated to say 'yes' to this stuff and create a broad canvassing of some historically key areas. Because as much as genus Homo keeps popping up there WILL BE, and ARE, differences that can be seen in the mtDNA genomes collected. And those differences can be seen in as few as a 150 base pair sequence or less. One does not need all 39,569 mtDNA base pairs and their 37 genes to see that. One only needs to see consistent outcomes. One test study in the mid 1990's was on The Coy/Green sample of wrist hair from the creature called Fox in Tennessee. The results came back Human. They even mixed in cat and dog hair and the result, as expected, still came back Human. I think we all know and have heard/read enough to now say what is.

I don't believe they would because (1) their efforts to discourage discovery aren't overt and desperate, and (2) skepticism is too great to automatically allow sasquatchery with a DNA discovery, so overt action won't be motivated. I believe that a dna discovery is not going to be THE discovery. It will be A discovery which will lead to more determined effort.

Thank you for the correction, Huntster. My error in not reading further back in the thread.

Good...lord. Stevie Wonder can see where this is going.
