I am surprised no one with the proper background hasn't dropped the $30 to read if for no other reason than to discredit it.
That is supposedly happening right now as there actually were universities involved in the first iteration, some non biased academics are supposedly reading on it now ...

No Bigfoot encounters here.....then, i'm not alone, NO ONE has ever had a Bigfoot encounter- acid trips, maybe.

I want to hear how you acquired a yeti bone from Nepal? Gift or purchase? Kathmandu or in the mountains?

You need Yeti's to get Yeti bones. Yeti/ Bigfoot....fanciful, even romantic to consider, then again, so are Mermaids, Hobbits and Elves.

Yeti are the guardians of the mountain goddesses in the Himalaya. If you ate one, no wonder your sledz over Everest are stalled out!

Anyone doubting the existence of Yeti Sasquatch Bigfoot because they have never encountered one, is fortunate. Yes it's true they don't exist, (in our dimension), all the time, ... So even the nay sayers are correct and support the hypothesis.

You know, the Sherpas themselves have many different interpretations of what the yeti is. Under the influence of western tourists, many young ones think it is a biological species. The older ones however, always have thought it was a spirit animal, which sometimes takes on physical form. They are thought to come from the Sambhogokaya, known to New Agers, as the Astral World, an intermediate state existing between humans and Buddhas and Boddhisattvas.

This is a correct viewpoint in their own local context.
From a forensic DNA analysts perspective the NuDNA is unique, and obviously off world / extraterrestrial.
If you looked at the Squatch NuDNA through an electron microscope and watched it phase in and out of view, you would understand what the aboriginal witnesses are grasping to describe.
Yes we have been visited by inter-dimensional extraterrestrials and they have interbred with us, Sasquatch being the hybrid result.- Deal with it ...

Anyone that thinks that bigfoots/yeti/sasquatch/manbearpig or whatever else not only exists but can exist in another reality has wooked out and eaten way to much L. If a bigfoot existed we would have found bones or a body by now. Think about it, the species would have existed for hundreds out thousands of years by now with a known fossil record. We know about rare species from millions of years go just because we found their bones.
Also, and I think this is the most convincing evidence that bigfoots don't exist, their are biological principles based on species population and extinction. A species has a minimum population it has to maintain otherwise it goes extinct because the species can't reproduce quickly enough to save itself. A large mammal such as a bigfoot would have a large enough population that bigfoot/human encounters would be very frequent. Or maybe I am wrong but I am a skeptic until I see that paper in a reliable journal and a scientific/common name.

Physical evidence for yeti has been examined before. Sir Edmund Hillary found the skin of a Tibetan blue bear in Rolwaling the valley I studied (they do walk upright a fair amount), and he also was able to take the yeti skull from Pangboche Monastery in Khumbu to England for examination and it was found to be the hide of a Tibetan antelope which had been steamed onto a human skull.
If you want to argue spirit animal versus ET, anything's possible. If you're going to argue a physical animal, then you need physical evidence and DNA.
DNA doing weird stuff indicates either contamination or fraud. Any creature capable of mating with a human and creating hybrids would have to be at least as similar as a chimp and probably closer to a neanderthal or denisovan- sapiens mix.

For all we know the Sasquatch progenitors did the dirty deed in a very high tech bio-laboratory on a space ship - so yes anything is possible
And no the DNA evidence was not contaminated
