What About The Bones? Research Paper Now Available.

That was awesome!  A bit of a sophisticated read for a layman like myself. 

 

Some clarification however, this has yet to be reviewed, correct?

I am away from WiFi access until Saturday. I do hope you enjoy the research!

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.

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?

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?

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.

What might have happened is that your firewall might have been concerned about the share. Share placed on the file of the report, causing it to block.

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.

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.

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!

 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.

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.
