You really wanted to burn him at the stake, didn't you?

No, I'm just pointing out that his research isn't reliable.

No, you wanted his blood when he started taking Bigfoot seriously. The hatred against him before he even published anything was palpable.

Well it certainly isn't a small gibbon from China. Once again, footies remain clueless about paleontology/archaeology.

Do we have any real evidence of how large the unknown Gibbon got?

How would you even know this when his yeti paper was published 4 years ago and I'm only discussing it with you now?

You darwinist skeptics were boiling with rage at him at the time.

The scale bar in the photo of the skull is only 1 cm, so not very big. Do some research instead of pulling random apes out of a hat.

I doubt anyone was "boiling with rage". I was just disappointed that a published paper on cryptozoology (a rare thing nowadays) turned out to be a bust. Sykes is doing no favors to either side of the debate.

If Sykes results are negative, how is that going to fail peer review?

Says the man researching "Zana"

The kind of "skeptic" that spends his life in a bigfoot forum has a very highly selected personality type, and you are all the same. You saw Bryan Sykes as betraying Darwinism and going over to the Dark Side, and you all bitterly hated him for that before he published a single thing.

Gotta love the family bro! Now clue up on reality and it's all good.:lol:

 

Yea everyone that comes in here says that.:huh:  I still can't figure out their attraction to BF threads. Maybe they think they are social justice warriors trying to save me from myself. Who knows. LOL

What? He didn't go against evolution or any facet of modern science at all. His conclusion was an unknown species of bear, which, while poorly supported, wasn't extremely implausible. It was his methods that were criticized, not researching the yeti in the first place. Are we talking about the same guy here?

No, it was his taking the Bigfoot seriously in the first place that provoked a blast of hatred from your types, it was evident before he published anything.

Syke has never published anything about Bigfoot. Did you even read his paper? There have been plenty of scientists who have published research on cryptids and are still taken seriously (Charles Paxton, Darren Naish, Ben Speers-Roesch, etc.).

Does they know how old the Gibbon was when it died?

Genetic analysis of hair samples attributed to yeti, bigfoot and other anomalous primates

I should've worded that better. The main focus of this paper is the samples attributed to the yeti that Sykes hypothesized to be from an unknown species of bear. The bigfoot samples were inconsequential and all turned to out to be from known animals.

Which is why the hatred of him is so irrational.

You skeptics also missed stuff in his book that might actually get him fired or something.

I see you've co-signed another poster's insult, which was directed towards me, clearly indicating that you're looking to ridicule and mock rather than to discuss. 

Do not expect anyone to treat you with respect or answer your questions when carrying yourself as such. 

I honestly meant no disrespect. I just have a twisted sense of humor. My apologies! :lol:

I am very interested in your theory though if you are willing to indulge me and post it

Most of the tested samples were from "Bigfoot" reported finds.

An analysis of the specimen's age was not performed, but it doesn't appear to be a juvenile. The largest extant gibbon, the siamang, only grows to a height of about 1 meter.

I don't think its a strong case, but a giant snow gibbon would explain the Yeti myths.

But they aren't discussed much because they don't matter to Sykes' work on the yeti.

Your claim the paper wasn't about Bigfoot is bizarre.

Not sure where you're getting any hatred of him from my posts.

It's a very weak case with a lot of grasping at straws. Not only are gibbons small, but their general morphology differs from the hominid-like characteristics of most cryptohominids.

It's pretty much entirely about the yeti, which isn't the same as bigfoot.
