amazing discovery, perhaps sasquatch is a different type of ate and is on the edge of extinction ? I hope they catch one and show him to the world

It will be inconclusive, damaged, or or from an "unidentified species." Later, it will turn out to be a synthetic carpte fibre or something like that. Because bigfoot doesn't exist. He breaks too many biological and zoological imperatives.

Wait, this is that nailboard nonsense? The one that's been "out in the weather for two years?"

No cigar. The history channel already did this and the results were, of course, inconclusive.

Love how the narrator claims that deciding what left the "blood" is as "easy as connecting the dots" and then they continue to draw a foot on the board. Come on...a little bit of a critical mind here is warranted.

You couldn't even convict OJ on evidence like this. Why is this being posted as if it's something new? It is inconclusive and contaminated with galvinazation, rust, and weathering. Bigfoot believers call it evidence, more critical and open minded people call it what it is....wishfull thinking.

Is it me or is the whole sequence where they look at the nailboard rather wooden and as if it were scripted?

The dna results (after ampliciation) came back as unknown hominid. Close to human, as is all ape dna. One would think this would be enough to raise the eyebrows of even the most critical of skeptics. Unknown hominid dna in North America! In addition, the circumstances of the collection were VERY credible. The place was only accessible via float plane or boat. The nearest civilization, 200 miles away. Yet, no doubt, as we've already seen, the skeptics will just wave it off as more circumstantial rubbish. SHAME!

BTW, if it looked "scripted" remember they were making a show. I don't think that diminishes the credibility of the sample. It's just for presentation.

It's because it is rubbish. A professional lab said they was no DNA in the sample. Then a guy, with his own vested interest, did the testing himself using outdated methods and claimed he found "unknown hominid" dna from tiny sequences that don't deem any conclusion. What he found was his own contamination of the sample. This is old news and was long ago discredited.

? Outdated? He's a microbiologist. Do know anything about dna buffers? The first researcher didn't figure for contamination by the galvanized screws. I thought the show and the analysis was well done.

You couldn't convict OJ with any evidence because the jury was biased, just like you. You are biased against any scientific evidence that disagrees with your beliefs. And if you claim that the snellgrove evidence was unscientific, well then there's just no pleasing you.

I am not biased. I make a logical conclusion free of emotion based on scientific principle.

Are the majority of zoologists and biologists biased too?

there is no scientific evidence that disagrees with my beliefs, as my beliefs are based entirely on scientific evidence and the lack of it.



If you see the snellgrove evidence as being reliable, even after it has been weathered, contaminated, then repaired and decontaminated, then you are willing to accept anything. Any thoughtfull jury would acquit based on such "evidence."

The logical conclusion is that it came out as ape and near human because it IS human dna that has been weathered and contaminated. They probably also found the original lab guy (mohawk boy) dna on the sample. Be more critical!

Well, i'll give you that the sample was weathered. But, there were hair and tissue samples also. If they can attempt to extract dna from a fossilized giganto tooth, this should be a walk in the park.

DNA from a fossil is EXTREMLEY rare. In fact, it's only been taken one time, and it was a huge deal that sparked a lot of controversy. Remember that bit of soft tissue they found? It was a one in a million chance...

Anyway, my point is that with a sample passed around, weathered, contaminated by galvinazation, it's not surprising that it's inconclusive and MIGHT be something unknown.

Man if a sasquatch did step on that board I feel sorry for it...ouch.
