Different Species, Identical DNA


In two previous posts we introduced the speculation that Modern Humans may have interbred with Neanderthals. these articles are based on Svante Pääbo's quest to sequence the Neanderthal DNA.

Read Love or War with Cavemen and Doin' IT with Neanderthals

In our our third installment we have some interesting revelations surfacing as the Neanderthal DNA sequencing continues.

The first revelation is both DNA's, Neanderthals and Modern Humans, are nearly identical.

Wired Magazine explains further:

"After years of anticipation, the Neanderthal genome has been sequenced. It’s not quite complete, but there’s enough for scientists to start comparing it with our own.

According to these first comparisons, humans and Neanderthals are practically identical at the protein level. Whatever our differences, they’re not in the composition of our building blocks.

However, even if the Neanderthal genome won’t show scientists what makes humans so special, there’s a consolation prize for the rest of us. Most people can likely trace some of their DNA to Neanderthals..."


For Bigfooters this is amazing, because we know Neanderthals and Modern humans were both very physically different, but according to the DNA evidence we would never know to what degree without fossil evidence.

Its a two-edge sword for Bigfoot DNA evidence. If DNA can be so similar, nearly identical, between two species, it may be hard to distinguish Bigfoot DNA.

On the other hand, we may already have Bigfoot DNA and dismissed it because it was so similar to another known species.

The second revelation is, according to studies, not all modern humans contain the same amount of Neanderthal DNA. Modern humans with African descent actually have less traceable Neanderthal DNA.

Such studies will occupy scientists for years to come. In the meantime, the researchers produced a more immediately stirring result. They compared the Neanderthal genome to genomes of five people from China, France, Papua New Guinea, southern Africa and western Africa. Among non-Africans, between one and four percent of all DNA came from Neanderthals...

...For people of African descent disappointed that they lack Neanderthal ancestry, Pääbo gave solace.

“It’s totally possible that inside Africa, there was a contribution from other archaic humans that we don’t know about,” he said. “We shouldn’t take these results as saying that only people outside Africa have caveman biology.”

iCarly Makes Bigfoot Cool to the Bieber Generation

Okay teens, tweens, and other things, we get it. You like Bigfoot too. We don't want to upset the Justin Bieber crowd.


We wont exclude Bigfoot news from the little ones. here we go...

Nickelodeon often referred to as Nick, will be kicking off "Beyond Belief Weekend." This weekend they promise some of the weirdest, spookiest, unexplainable stuff ever to air on Nickelodeon.

This means two of the shows will feature Bigfoot. iCarly and Back at the Barnyard. iCarly is about a parent-less girl and her video blog, and Barnyard is a pretty funny animated cartoon about, well, barnyard animals.

Remember kids you heard it here first!

Saturday, May 8
8:00 p.m. – iCarly, “iBelieve in Bigfoot”
Bigfoot fever hits Seattle when hikers take some fuzzy footage of a suspicious figure in the woods. After an expert validates the footage on the web show, Carly convinces the gang to take Socko’s RV upstate and join the search for Bigfoot.


Sunday, May 9
11:00 a.m. – Back at the Barnyard: "Otis vs. Bigfoot"
the animals go Bigfoot hunting!

Bigfoot is an Alien Chimera Grizzly/Human Hybrid


Wish we had more behind this theory, but this is the subject being discussed at www.alienhub.com. Apparently someone who goes by the moniker "VOYAGER" has expressed his support for "bigfoot is real" camp, and then expands his own theories...

The Native Indians can't be wrong about a Giant hairy Man living in the Mountains of Washington, BC and the Pacific North West.
The Native Indians call him the Boss of the Mountains and pay him great respect for Sasquatch has titanic strength and has been known to devour Humans.
My take on Bigfoot is that the Big Hairy Man Beast is real, Bigfoot though is not a Primate like what many people believe it is. Sasquatch is a Chimera a Hybred, a cross between Grizzly Bear and Human so you can imagine the size of it and the Strength of it. It was designed by the Atlantians 800 000 years ago. The Atlantians weren't very nice people and during their Past Glory they Hybredized many animals with humans and Sasquatch was one of those creatures and to this day these Creatures are out there hunting and gathering but they are extremely intelligent they know that man is the danger and they stay away from populated areas and hunt at night for protection.

They are incredible strong and they can tear a man apart like a French Cruller Donut in no time and eat him just as fast. These creatures are extremely nasty tempered and extremely fast, they can run like an Olympian Athlete and just as fast if not even faster and make there 900 Pound frame look like it's effortless.

Behold the Mighty Sasquatch coming to neighboorhood near you!.


Oddly enough, while looking for more man/bear chimera information, as our team found a genomics site, thinkgene.com, that claims we don't need no stinkin' alien technology to create man-bear-pig chimeras (see photo above).

Is this Chimera theory going to gain momentum? Fans, you know how we feel, we think Bigfoot is simply an undiscovered primate, but we love any Bigfoot theories, ANY Bigfoot theory. And this is one of the more interesting ones.
