Cotter Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That was awesome! A bit of a sophisticated read for a layman like myself. Some clarification however, this has yet to be reviewed, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotter Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Interesting - I didn't get that message. It's a Onedrive site. Quite common. Hmmmmm. Basically, it's a paper that 'shows' there is an undocumented hominid predating on deer and elk as was determined through the examination of predation teeth marks on bones using a technique that has already been accepted and applied in the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguefooter Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 It seems incomplete to me. Shouldn't there be a comparative analysis to bones chewed by the known species in the area? Or bones tested for saliva DNA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Cotter, Just forwarding the report from Comodo Secure. They are pretty solid on this stuff. What security are you using which didn't flag the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diana swampbooger Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Nailed it, BTW! I've read this twice now! Need to go through it several more times. I've a challenge of 'thinking drift' in the importance of the long term implications of this white paper. One of my first thoughts... behavior at family meal time... who gets what & when? I'm in anticipation that many more researchers/observers take up the baton. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WesT Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I read a review on CNET about Comodo and yes, it's known as a false positive. I'm happy to see someone like woodslore do a scientific study on this. We can't prove bf without a carcass, but this endeavor has the potential to prove that there's something out there that's unknown to science.

Guest Divergent1 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 It seems incomplete to me. Shouldn't there be a comparative analysis to bones chewed by the known species in the area? Or bones tested for saliva DNA? This....I was expecting less anecdotal, and more straight science. By stating this is without a doubt some type of hominid you've shot yourself in the foot before you've even had a chance to run. It would have been better to leave out the narrative and put more documentation as to what animals didn't leave the bite marks, to include regular human beings This is disappointing. I will add that I think looking for predator kills is a new way to go about finding potential evidence but I'm not impressed by the way this was presented.

gigantor Posted June 23, 2015 Admin Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Had you read past the first few introductory pages, you would've come to a different opinion (assuming you're objective). It's obvious you didn't bother to even browse through the paper. It is a thorough, exhaustive work and will take some time to get through all of it. I find this sample very interesting... Great job and thanks for posting the paper! Edited June 23, 2015 by gigantor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Divergent1 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) As I said, I think the work is good, it needs to be reformatted to reflect non biased research. I am only disappointed in how the information was presented. Despite my alzheimers, I found it very easy to read and understand for a lay person, I'm sorry you're having difficulty wading through the information.

BigTreeWalker Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 It seems incomplete to me. Shouldn't there be a comparative analysis to bones chewed by the known species in the area? Or bones tested for saliva DNA? Currently DNA testing comes back as inconclusive or is contested. So right now it is not the best course to take. However, forensic tooth impression analysis for determining a predator is a known, acceptable, repeatable science. We have discussed DNA testing but because of the controversy involved chose to take direction we did in our research. I will admit that more of the initial comparison of known predators could have been included. The reference material is there. Other experts in the field we contacted immediately went to human-like. These people are mentioned in the paper. Due to this our research took the direction it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
