Dr. Bryan Sykes: Yeti Is a Polar Bear / Brown Bear Hybrid?
Last year, it was reported that Dr. Bryan Sykes may have solved the Yeti mystery through DNA. His initial theory was that the "Yeti" people reported about may have been an escaped American Black bear. After months of DNA testing, Sykes has concluded that the "Yeti" is probably a sub species of brown bear in the High Himalayas descended from the bear that was the ancestor of the polar bear. In a new report from www.independent.co.uk, Sykes also had "Yeti" samples that had a 100 percent match from an ancient polar bear jawbone dated back 40,000 years ago:
Bryan Sykes, professor of human genetics at the Oxford University, set out to collect and test “yeti” hair samples to find out which species they came from. In particular he analysed hairs from two unknown animals, one found in the Western Himalayan region of Ladakh and the other from Bhutan, 800 miles to the east.
After subjecting the hairs to the most advanced DNA tests available and comparing the results to other animals' genomes stored on the GenBank database, Professor Sykes found that he had a 100 per cent match with a sample from an ancient polar bear jawbone found in Svalbard, Norway, that dates back at least 40,000 years - and probably around 120,000 years - a time when the polar bear and closely related brown bear were separating as different species.
Professor Sykes believes that the most likely explanation is that the animals are hybrids - crosses between polar bears and brown bears. The species are closely related and are known to interbreed where their territories overlap.
Now that the "Yeti" mystery has been "solved", it will be interesting to see what Sykes has in store when his investigation titled, "Bigfoot Files", starts airing this Sunday. According to Bigfoot researcher Todd Neiss, "things are about to get very interesting":
After meeting with Dr Sikes for several hours (including dinner afterward) I can assure you that he does have a number of serious revelations to share. Some have to do with the origins of "Zena" (of Russian lore), his DNA analysis of over 50 specimens he has acquired from numerous sources around the world (including some rare museum relics), and some controversial findings regarding "other" studies underway. That's about all I am allowed to divulge at this time. Suffice to say, things are about to get very interesting. - Todd Neiss

1:44, do you mean the Independent is apparently pwned, because that is now a dead link? They were forced to pull it for inaccuracy? Also a search on the Independent site for "bigfoot dna bear" came up with zero results.
DeleteWhat is happening with the Independent? This article was false and Sykes and Co. shut it down?
Never mind I see--pulled the story.
DeleteHow very strange.
And The Independent has a big reputation.
Phew, consipratorial behaviour at work already, before even the paper or docs are published.
Not surprised it got pulled...Its a spoiler and the writer probably has a source that broke an NDA....

Delete"Found to match a GenBank record of DNA from a jawbone of an ancient polar bear? Oh really? Exactly who extracted that jawbone from the polar bear, in order to confirm that it was in fact a polar bear? Well, er, I guess nobody did since modern educated man was not alive 40,000 to 120,000 years ago, nor was a full skeleton available. We were just guessing based on the process of elimination of the animal species that we were given by science to choose from. Yeti wasn't one of the species that we were allowed to choose from.
ReplyDeletePerhaps, GenBank already has the DNA of a Yeti, and is was misclassified as that of an ancient polar bear since there was no other way that GenBank would accept it! And now, Sykes fell into the misclassification trap that was set for whomever was brave enough to run DNA on a Yeti.
That's a great post, 1:48, thank you. That's the way to think outside the silly box. Good job.
DeleteHow in the hell do you get a perfect DNA sample from a 40,000 year jaw bone that enables a 100% match 40,000 years later. Am I supposed to believe the DNA from the jaw bone hadn't degraded in the least.

DeleteHang on a second now. The skeptards were worried about this one, and started saying that it meant nothing with regards to Bigfoot if the Yeti was proven. We still had to prove Bigfoot. Of course, the hypocrisy is that this no longer applies now that the data shows a bear, right skeptards?
ReplyDeleteBigfoot is plausible with or without the yeti..The idea cannot be dismissed out of hand on first principles or by any set of scientific facts...The existence of the yeti does give us another candidate for what people may be seeing here--I.e descendents of yeti's that crossed the straight....
DeleteConfirmation of the yeti would also be a big modern victory for cryptozoology. We would see it recognized as a legitimate interdisciplinary subject and eventually formalized...

So sorry to hear you invested all your belief on the results of a study that doesn't even have any numerical baring on the tens of thousands of sightings that these creatures have across four continents. I for one, though heavily require someone of Sykes' stature to back my camp, don't NEED him, cause I can and will fight my corner till I can't no more and have done without the backing of mainstream science for this long. Guess this means you won't be posting around here anymore right?! We'll let me reassure you on something... I won't be going anywhere. If anything... I'll be posting more.
If this story does turn out to be the case, then it has no baring on anything or anyone who knows this creature is real... merely means people like me have to work a little harder.

"
New DNA research may have finally solved the mystery of the yeti. Tests on hair samples were found to have a genetic match with an ancient polar bear, with scientists believing there could be a sub species of brown bear in the High Himalayas that has been mistaken for the mythical beast.
Yetis, also known as the “Abominable Snowman” or “Bigfoot”, have been recorded for centuries in the Himalayas, with local people and mountaineers claiming to have come face-to-face with hairy, ape-like creatures."
All this is saying is he identified an ancient bear species through a sample. A 100% match of that for a sample doesnt mean the Yeti is a bear. Just means one of the samples, was bear.

Does this mean "I AM Sasquatch" and "You Are NOT Sasquatch"?
ReplyDeleteNo you are 38% banana
DeleteYes, indeed..Clearly what this study shows is that a bear evolved parallel to a hominid..It is bipedal, the back paws became feet, the snout flattened and the face became ape-like...I am shocked that the yeti is a bear and that you are related to a yeti...You must be proud....

the best thing about this is MMG will now be leaving this blog for good!
It looks like he examined all, or almost all, of the biological yeti evidence that has been collected the last 60 years..Its fair to say "science has looked at the yeti, and it is an interesting bear. The end."...
DeleteBigfoot might be another story. He is only as good as the handful of things recently submitted by people like Justin Smega..
Joe, Dumb question but let us suppose there is and never has been a yeti. Just for the sake of pondering this question. What was it that migrated across the bering land bridge to become bigfoot? Giganto? does the timeline fit. Perhaps an unknown human ancestor. J.D.

ReplyDeleteClueless Joe got fucking schooled. Sykes said: '"Psyche"
ReplyDeleteSo wait, they found miscellaneous hair that was "suspected" of being from a yeti, did a dna test found it matched a hybrid bear and that disproves the yeti as a hominid how? From what I can tell it proves there's a hybrid bear lumbering about. Last I heard lumbering bears left bear tracks didn't walk long distances on two feet, and don't really look hominid...
ReplyDeleteI mean polar bears and brown bears still exist and hybrids occur right? Is it not completely possible a polar bear got it on with a brown bear and at the same time Yeti's as a completely non bear entity still exist, and this hair was simply misidentified as having come from a yeti?
Am I missing something here? What's going on? How does this disprove the yeti?
