Ronnie Bass Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 I've asked you repeatedly to accurately state my position. I have no problems with the scientific process properly applied. I have great problems with the institution of Science, and those who control it. Her data could be valid but it wouldn't be surprising if the scientific community still wouldn't want to touch it with a ten foot pole.
Guest OntarioSquatch Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Mulder, it seems the entire homo genus is considered human. Edited November 25, 2012 by OntarioSquatch
Guest gershake Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Again, matter of defintion. Some consider this human, others consider that human. Just saying it's not as black-and-white as Mulder implies.
Guest Particle Noun Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Wow, I sincerely hope this wasn't rejected by all the American journals only to be published in a Russian journal, especially if there is any link to this ignorant fellow. If this is the route it takes, I think this will fizzle on the world stage and not have any impact...
Guest Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Mulder, Whats bogus about an opinion? Once again you dance around the rules to cast your insults but whatever works for you When your "opinion" is 100% factually wrong, it is not "throwing insults" to point it out.
See-Te-Cah NC Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Wow, I sincerely hope this wasn't rejected by all the American journals only to be published in a Russian journal, especially if there is any link to this ignorant fellow. If this is the route it takes, I think this will fizzle on the world stage and not have any impact... It will have an impact, PN... A negative one. Might as well put it in a freezer in the bed of your pickup truck and drive it on down to Georgia, calling Tom Biscardi en route to hire him as your PR guy. I sincerely hope that isn't the case.
Guest Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Well, if that DNA is from an unknown creature, it appears that they still don't have all of the pieces, doesn't it? If the results hold up to scrutiny, they do now. From what I understand, this is the first DNA study to ever obtain a clean, full-sequence result. Such a result fills in the holes in previous analyses. Again, using the jigsaw analogy, it's like having and putting together the puzzle and not being able to understand the picture because a few key pieces are missing. A full-sequence result gives us the missing pieces to finally fill in the picture.
southernyahoo Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 Well, if that DNA is from an unknown creature, it appears that they still don't have all of the pieces, doesn't it? If it is proven unknown and with a human mitochondria then it is definitively a hybrid and new hominin.

These are the kinds of questions people will have unless they just believe everything they hear, which could be possible, I suppose. I say that falling back on an unidentified creature to fill in the gaps still leaves some pretty big gaps, IMO.
Guest Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Agreed See-Ta. It will be a disaster that only damages the Bigfoot world even more. The best thing she can do now is just fade away. And when the true believers in her camp start bashing the American scientific community they will no doubt unleash a torrent of reasons why her work was not deemed credible. JREF is gonna have a field day with this. And for once ill have to agree with them. Edited November 25, 2012 by rockiessquatching
See-Te-Cah NC Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 If it is proven unknown and with a human mitochondria then it is definitively a hybrid and new hominin. One I'm sure they will classify and have drawings of despite the fact it remains undiscovered, no doubt. Heck, I bet they'll also tell everyone how long ago it lived, what it ate, where it came from and many other "facts." Doctorates may even be awarded to students that present a thesis in Anthropology class as well. That might be good enough for you and others, but I'd like them to discover the creature and put it to rest.
Guest Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 So at this point the actual evidence doesn't matter anymore then, is that you are saying Rockies?
Guest COGrizzly Posted November 25, 2012 Posted November 25, 2012 One "positive" about all of this is to demonstrate to Sykes exactly what NOT to do.
