Backdoc Posted April 20 Posted April 20 (edited) A broken bone is universally understood on an X-ray. Until the DNA results for Bigfoot could be universally understood and agreed to, it almost seems like a useless tool. Useful for paternity and so ion but surprisingly limited for Bigfoot study.

But, as usual, and like everything else, DNA is used for what the powerful want it to be used...........and not to be used for what they don't want it used for..................... 1
Backdoc Posted April 21 Posted April 21 ^^^ Isn't any suspected Bigfoot DNA sample somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy? To be overly simple, If we expect Bigfoot to be in the human-type line, any human like DNA result allows the skeptic to say it's human and not some unknown ape. DNA might be a bit like the height determination of Patty in the PGF. IF Patty was outrageously tall/ 8 foot tall it is so unique it nearly has to be real. If Patty is 6'1'' then Patty could be nearly any adult male in a suit. Unless a DNA result is something we have never seen before, doesn't it suggest its explainable. A common result can be dismissed as not unique enough to meet our/their expectations.

I really wanna get this off the ground and am curious to see for my self what is going on! @TheTreeman I don't get around here very often, so just saw now that I was tagged. The first link/button on this page leads to the online form to offer samples to my NC State study: https://sites.google.com/ncsu.edu/darbyorcutt/home

Henner Fahrenbach? @Madison5716 I don't get here very often, so just seeing that I was tagged now. To answer your question, my study is the place to send any potential physical samples. Jeff was sending samples to me before he passed, and every biological sample he still had in his lab that folks had previously sent to him is coming to me at NC State. The link to offer samples is the first button/link on this page: https://sites.google.com/ncsu.edu/darbyorcutt/home Unfortunately, Henner passed very soon after Jeff. He was a big supporter of my work too, and both he and Jeff were eager to see what my findings would be. 1 2

Here is an example of what DNA analysis can do. It is solving questions regarding the Anasazi in the Four Corners area of the Southwest. This is a dark story, and it has been going on for a while. I've been paying attention. As expected, authors of previous theories fight until the end..........but it appears that the end is here. This is a huge story: 1

Sircalum Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Bigfoot DNA could resemble human DNA and be another form of its stealthy nature.
guyzonthropus Posted 57 minutes ago Author Posted 57 minutes ago Well one would expect there to be considerable commonalities with modern human DNA, at least more than seen with chimps or orangs, but I'd think there would also be outlier components absent for our own. Just how consistent these might be from sample to sample could hinge on any number of possible factors, but its possible there might be notable clusters of aberrant chains not seen in modern humans or with the prominence as seen in the samples, if that makes any sense. Presuming the premise of the Pleistocene mega fauna hominid proves out, it would be possible to determine the point(s) of divergence from a shared line just as they do for any genetics based taxonomic research. Though I have no idea what the cost of such analysis runs, much less that for multiple samples. But were that to be undertaken we might well discover a different verse field of various forms created through the waves of migration as determined by the shifting phases of glaciation and resultant sea levels. Or maybe it would be seen that most of those existing today are all derived from a relatively small number of survivors that made it through the antigen bottleneck that may have arose with the arrival of the Europeans and their diseases which could have easily reduced sasquatch populations like they did those of the indigenous peoples, thereby greatly diminishing genetic diversity amongst them. Who knows what might be learned from such pursuits?
