Sasquatch are people: Sasquatch Genome Project
DALLAS, Feb. 13–The multidisciplinary team of scientists, who on November 24, 2012 announced the results of their five-year long study of DNA samples from a novel hominin species, commonly known as “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch,” publishes their peer-reviewed findings today in the DeNovo Journal of Science (http://www.denovojournal.com). The study, which sequenced three whole Sasquatch nuclear genomes, shows that the legendary Sasquatch is extant in North America and is a human relative that arose approximately 13,000 years ago and is hypothesized to be a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with a novel primate species. A species name, Homo sapiens cognatus, has been applied for through ZooBank. “Cognatus,” from the Latin “con” (with) and “natus” (born), means “blood relative.”
The Sasquatch are an indigenous, aboriginal people. Their maternal lineage is human and their paternal lineage is an unknown hominin. Their genetics reveal no relation to homo Neanderthalensis (Neanderthal) or homo sapiens Altai (Denisova). Despite their often reported ape-like features, they have no genetic connection to apes. This means they are not related to the Pleistocene pongid, gigantopithecus blacki, believed by many in the Bigfoot research community to be a likely ancestor. More research is needed to further understand Sasquatch genetics.
The paternal lineage found in the nuclear DNA of Sasquatch suggests a distantly related hominin that evolved separately from humans, apes and other primates but evolved to the point where it could interbred with humans.

Most of the potential DNA samples submitted were hair. All hair samples and were examined by a specialist who weeded out hair from humans, known animal species and synthetic fibers. Hair classified as unknown then underwent testing on its mitochondrial DNA. If the mitochondrial DNA on the unknown hair was human, the hair was identified as Sasquatch. Testing on the nuclear DNA came up as an unknown hominid.
Blood, tissue and saliva samples could not be screened in this manner, and went straight into DNA testing. The tests produced consistent results that identified the species.

The project’s samples were found in numerous ways. Most samples were hair, found on trees, fences, hair traps, in sleeping areas and even on a garage door. One sample submitter found an apparently very popular scratching post tree, based on the numerous hairs left behind. Some blood was obtained from objects apparently involved in incidents leading to Sasquatch being injured.

Provenance is not a concern with the DNA itself because DNA cannot be faked, and forensic scientists are experts at dealing with genetic material that has been exposed to the elements. Contamination was managed per established routines commonly used in criminal cases, for example. Samples that were not viable were not included in the study. Human contamination would have resulted in human nuclear DNA, which did not happen.

Forensic scientists routinely deal with DNA in criminal cases that has been exposed to the elements, sometimes for many years. Forensic scientists have developed procedures for samples containing DNA from multiple sources, or which have a small amount of DNA.

Long-term witnesses have reported that they are not interested in living our way of life and prefer living closer to nature. Sasquatch seem very intelligent despite their primitive lifestyle. After all, it would take human-like intelligence to avoid humans and our technologies for so long. According to some long-term witnesses, they not only possess spoken language, but written language, as well. At least two language studies are underway. Cultural and physical anthropologists need to devote attention to the Sasquatch, as there is much to learn about their culture and lifestyle.

A habituator is someone who has nurtured a long-term relationship with Sasquatch either on their property or in a research area. This relationship is called habituation.

Sasquatch talk. For years, Bigfoot researchers have reported “samurai chatter,” whispering and other vocalizations. The testimony of Native Americans, habituators and long-term witnesses that Sasquatch can speak English as well as other languages. However, linguistic research indicates that Sasquatch speak at a much faster rate than we do, making them very difficult to understand. Some long-term witnesses are able to easily understand them because of years of interaction. The North American Bigfoot Search Web site contains some details about ongoing Sasquatch linguistic research. And a book about Sasquatch language and culture is being prepared by a professor of anthropology at The University of Virginia.
