Bigfoot and Yeti, as Elusive as Ever
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/15/science/bigfoot-and-yeti-as-elusive-as-ever.html?ref=science&_r=0
Legends of mysterious part-human creatures have circulated for centuries, and those stories persist today in cultures around the world, from Yeti in the Himalayas to the Almas , or wild man in Central Asia to Sasquatch, a.k.a. Bigfoot, in North America.
Now a research team has performed the first rigorous genetic analysis of three dozen hair samples that their collectors claimed came from such undiscovered, living humanoids.
Like everyone else, I was curious to know what was at the bottom of all of the rumors and myths, said Bryan Sykes, a professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford, who led the study.
The samples, it turned out, belonged to a range of creatures: raccoons, sheep, bears, dogs, humans and more. Bigfoot, however, was not one of them.

Bigfoot? ha ha ha. I scoff. Scoff, scoffity, scoff, scoff, scoff.
Maybe bigfoot wears toreador pants. Toreador pants make your feet look big, too.
Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places. That would be my guess.
LOL, people still believe. But there really are Gitchi Sabes around.
Got a link for that? I found Gitchi Manitou. The same?
No, not the same Grump. Gitchi Manitou is the Creator or the Great Spirit. Gitchi Sabe is a gentle creature that lives in the forest. Protector of all things good.
There are people who have made a handy livelihood out of guided bigfoot hunt/tours, making tube of life shows, writing articles for outdoor magazines and web pages. There's bigfoot gold in them thar hills.
