History Channel Monsterquest

[LighthouseLady92]

The history channel is doing a series called Monsterquest. I have watched two of the episodes each dealing with the exsistance of Bigfoot. They are interesting to watch and even have Jeff Meldrum on one of them. The new series airs on the History Channel Wednesdays at 10 pm. A must see for cryptozoology fans.....

I'm just wandering out loud here, but did they compare the DNA results of the blood sample, which came back with an extra chromosome than a chimp and one less than a human, with any other known hair and or blood samples? Has anyone heard of a follow up?

Found this messing around this morning. This excerpt taken from an article out of Fresno California.

"One of the few academically credentialed scientists who will acknowledge the possibility Bigfoot exists is Jeff Meldrum. A biology professor at Idaho State University in Pocatello. His book, "Sasquatch, Legend Meets Science," has been cited in some of the most recent documentaries on Bigfoot. He believes he has almost found a scientific basis for the legendary creature from a site in Ontario, Canada. Meldrum says,"We collected tissue, the remains of blood as well as muscle tissue as well as some hairs." Meldrum explains the creature stepped on a board with screws in it, leaving the flesh behind, giving researchers a sample from which to obtain DNA for testing. He says a preliminary test indicated a feature in a strand of DNA that appeared to put the creature somewhere between a human and chimpanzee."
