Indian army's claim to have found footprints of yeti prompts ridicule
Previous scientific studies have concluded the origins of yeti stories, which have been told for centuries, are based on real animals.
The results of a DNA analysis of supposed yeti samples – including hair, fur and faeces – published in 2017, showed the samples were from Himalayan and Tibetan subspecies of brown bear and an Asian black bear.
In 2011, a “yeti finger” found in Nepal in the 1950s was revealed by a genetic expert to have been human bone...
Very cool! Stupid article though. It would be fair to mention this omitted item...
The following year his team returned to the Himilayas and recovered a hair sample that was DNA tested as being from a primate, but was excluded as being human."
On April 21, 2008, Josh Gates traveled to Walt Disney World in Florida to meet with Joe Rohde, Executive Designer of Walt Disney Imagineering. Gates presented Rohde with a cast of the "Yeti" footprint. The cast will soon be placed on display at Expedition Everest, a Himalayan-themed, high-speed, coaster-like attraction where guests come face-to-face with a Yeti.[5]
This same geneticist also concluded North American Bigfoot is a human species as well, so that should also be worth a mention and Twitter hardly blew up with ridicule. The main person they quoted of three was asking a legitimate question, not mocking and the top rated reply answered him quite well. Mainstream media messes everything up!
For the first time, an #IndianArmy Moutaineering Expedition Team has sited Mysterious Footprints of mythical beast 'Yeti' measuring 32x15 inches close to Makalu Base Camp on 09 April 2019. This elusive snowman has only been sighted at Makalu-Barun National Park in the past. pic.twitter.com/AMD4MYIgV7— ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY (@adgpi) April 29, 2019
