RHI journal has an article published on its website now, by Kathy Strain. Hairy Man article

Proof that RHI journal is up and running. Book reviews section now contains a couple reviews as well. Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere...

Thanks for taking time to link, I get irritated sometimes how many websites I must go to to stay abreast...and only b/c there is so little real news. This is refreshing, but I must admit I blew over the "Hominoid" reference first time I saw...LOL thanks

Yep, and Meet the Sasquatch has a book review (pub. posthumously by Daris Swindler). Kathy is a member here as is Dr. Meldrum.

Well, I am just stoked to see the site finally getting material, fleshing out. Been watching it, since I am still not unconvinced that the much anticipated journal article will not be published through the RHI. If Ketchum's paper is published in a better known mainstream science journal, the RHI will really be a powerhouse organization, IMO. If the paper comes through RHI, then I don't foresee bigfootery making any great leaps, prestige and credibility-wise, in the near future. The RHI represents the best effort to date to gather scientific credibility, methinks. How much uphill struggle that group has ahead depends on Ketchum. No pressure... :lol:

What is Meldrum's user name here?

I want to say that the neanderthal,caveman,missing link view is just a myth.They never existed.

Really. This is new to me. First, Neanderthal is not a missing link but a cousin so to speak. What is your source for the idea that the Neanderthal never existed. We have many bones fossils plus a complete genome. Are you saying their is some kind of conspiracy to make people to believe in Neanderthal to discredit something else. What ever source you are using for your conclusions is not very accurate and full of many errors.

So could it be that The Relict Hominoid Inquiry will be the online publisher of last resort that will contain the Ketchum Project results? Just asking?

Wouldn't that make Todd Disotell one of the peer reviewers?

One of the possible reviewers, at least, I think...just says:

"Manuscripts will be sent to two or more referees at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief and members of the editorial board. Reviewers are given the option of providing an anonymous or a signed review."

Looks like reviewing/refereeing is part of the editorial board job description:

"An editorial board, consisting of Ph.D.s or other-wise qualified professionals, is responsible for assisting with manuscript editing and reviewing in their respective area(s) of experience and expertise; assist in identifying willing, objective, and reputable outside reviewers and commentators; suggest appropriate topical areas to be addressed by the RHI journal and newsletter, and invite/solicit submissions to that end."

It'll still be an uphill fight. The Skeptics have already positioned themselves to dismiss/ignore any potential results via a variety of lines of psuedo-argumentation (no confirmed BF to compare the genes to, sample contamination, etc).

Some of the skeptics on here may be Mulder, but I suspect there are some watching who would not participate in these forums,I think some of us would be surprised how many "closet" watchers are out there.

That could be. Wish we had some solid idea of how many though.

Well this skeptic hasn't. I'm not only keeping an open mind, I'm hopeful and looking forward to some progress. I don't see why they can't find, genetic-wise, an uncontaminated, retestable strand of DNA that is "new" to science and fits here and there in the tree.
