And that they make that clear. I hope it doesn't come across as my saying that I have any time for the idea of giant snow monkeys. Oops, yeah, i thought your passion was coming from your believe yeti is a bigfoot bipedal hominid type, thanks for clearing that ...as least we agree there.

No, it's from my observation that your arguments appear very poorly informed. Just to clarify, my objections are not to your beliefs, they're entirely your own business, or to what other evidence you have to support them, they're strictly to your interpretation of Sykes' study (see post 51), and the blanket statement that the yeti is a type of bear, when it is clearly a myth with more complex origins.

When people take a long time to make a reply to me and keep going and going i assure you i cant keep from being very flattered. Yeah, you only attacked sykes not the monks, or any other source, i have no problem with people hating sykes its just i dont care, they should tell him how they feel about his work...waste of time telling me. 26 minutes ago, oldrover said: No, it's from my observation that your arguments appear very poorly informed. That had little to nothing to do with what you quoted from me but okay, Im not arguing at all, just discussing, im informed just enough to have decided at this point yeti is a type of bear ive also have come to a conclusion from info provided what you are all about.

Then again he published his results in a sensationalistic book and not a peer-reviewed paper. In his description of the African DNA, the math doesn't add up the way he says it does, and it conflicts with his joke of a Genealogy chart. The Zana case skulls have been tested multiple times according to Igor Burtsev, none of those results have ever been published AFAIK. One of the tests confirmed Bryan Sykes finding of L2C MTDNA.
