Neanderthal differs from human in this 220 base region by one mutation, chimp by 10 mutations. So chimp is definitely distantly related, but Neanderthal and my samples (with one mutation each) are closely related to the modern reference sequence.

"They've found a new Alpha" Sasquatch seen leading a troop of escaped monkeys as they carry out its dirty work!

Whether Sasquatches exist or not, the Zana story is extremely applicable. First, the people of the Zhina region believed that Zana was an almas. It doesn't matter if you or I agree that almasties exist or not, whether Zana was an almas, human, or zebra, or what the Russian government thought about the whole affair, if they even bothered to think about it. The whole affair centers on the belief of the locals who knew her. Secondly, in this incredibly rare case, science was successfully able to identify Zana's taxonomy some 135 years after her death in not one, but two peer reviewed DNA analyses. Zana was a Homo sapien. Period. Thirdly, and equally as remarkable, these DNA analyses either could not or did not delve into her physical traits that were reported, such has her hairiness and unusual height. Why? Fourthly, Zana proved that a feral homo sapien can be mistaken for a mythical wild person..........which is exactly what she was! A feral human. Fifthly, in today's United States (and probably in today's Abkhazia, too), if you kill a hairy, tall, bipedal creature in order to ascertain *what* he/she is "for sure", only to discover that he/she is a hairy, tall homo sapien (in the view of others, NOT you), I humbly submit that you're headed for a very ugly court hearing, at the very least, and a bit of free, sub-desirable lodging at the very worse........if not a rope. Lastly, even if you kill an unknown species, my own opinion is that the government will never let it see the light of media exposure. Yeah, that opinion will promote lots of opposing opinion, but I'd love to meet anybody, anytime, at any one of the threads on this forum discussing government coverup of the existence of Sasquatches, especially on Ft. Lewis, WA lands.There is no way, no how, no kidding, that Sasquatches have been regularly roaming around an active Army post for a century without the Army figuring it out. Period. No freaking way.
