lol Yeah, sorry for the shotgun approach. I was posting at work when I had a free moment here and there.
 
Welcome Theagenes!

Professor Todd Disotell did say her hybridization theory is plausible. While her paper is poorly written, analyses on the sequences that were provided seem to show something novel like she said, but with the self-published paper and all, who in the science community will believe that this DNA came from a Bigfoot?

I agree, OS. By "and all" I take it you mean this improbable story she's telling about being accepted through a real peer review in something called the Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary whatever it is. She seems not to be able to verify it. That would seem to shoot her credibility right in the keister... looks like desperation and a willingness to, well, tell a good story, shall we say. Then you turn and look at the paper and say, really, what can be verified?

jmho.

So the actual lynchpin holding the entire thing together, the source of the information that convinced them (incorrectly) that they really had something unique came from a guy named . . . Achilles.

So, bear with me now: Their big mistake was misinterpreting information from Achilles, and to publish that mistake and make it appear that they had something valuable they resorted to a journal edited by Ray Wallace.

There's a TED talk in here somewhere.

Yeah, I remember Parn and I telling him that, but he got hung up on some statistical analysis of two people 2000 miles apart having the same mutations. He was 99% convinced it wasn't a hoax because the two groups that turned those samples in were rivals, or something along those lines, it has been awhile.

In his defense, Stubstad was on a large amount of pain medication with end stage prostate cancer and I think his reasoning abilities were impaired.

Those painkillers will do it to ya, I can remember taking excessive amounts down the beach while partying and waiting for Kelly Lebrock to come walking by, (never happened) I can't explain how a guy could ever dream up Bigfoot instead of something else but, that's Footin for ya ~

The footers are having a field day claiming victory because of Swenson, which just makes them look more foolish...

Poor lost soles just hang onto anything they can get, the monkey don't exist yet they just keep trying to find excuses, I have gotten a lot of fun and laughs out of this DNA thing over the years, but it is just turning so pathetic I am getting bored, they need a new hoax soon.

Derek Randles of the Olympic Project has been on damage control recently on Meldrum's facebook page and it seems Mr. Erickson isn't too happy with how this DNA study went. Like a plane flown by unstable footers, this thing has crashed :(
 
The DNA samples submitted are only as credible as the people that submitted them.
The problem ain't with the DNA, it lies with those that so easily lie too others.

Update: Ph.D. Biochemist Supports Ketchum Sasquatch DNA Study

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on February 22nd, 2013


Melba Ketchum posted the following quote on facebook, presumably by David H. Swenson, Ph.D.


"I did more blast analyses and came up with the same confusion the independent labs had. The genome has some good human matches and some unknowns.

The sequences are not contaminated, near as I can tell. I have not searched for open reading frames, but that is beyond the scope of my tools. The close matches are gapped with sequences that match nothing. AMEL and MY genes match humans in some cases, in others, not. If I am wrong, I would like to be shown with data, not uninformed opinion from 'experts.'"David H. Swenson, Ph.D.

Tip o’ the hat again to Cryptomundian edsbigfoot.

:D Hilarious. I have complete confidence some new Bigfoot 'player' named Roger Patterson will eventually show up and really blow our minds.
 
Once again, we are assuming Dr. Swenson said this based on Melba's facebook posts? That in itself says it all.

Interpreting an entire genome versus looking at specfic loci for genetic indicators for cancer are two entirely different things.

I'm an RN and a nurse-midwife, that doesn't mean I can go work in ICU or the ER and function appropriately. The same analogy applies here.
 
Ketchum's paper is like the rest of BigfootNation (and a condition of most pseudoscience): believers believing; not thinkers thinking.
 
on the second day of bigfoot my true love gave to me; 2 Smeja kills , and a phony footer family tree........:D
 
On the third day of bigfoot my true love gave to me three calling owls, 2 Smeja kills, and a phoney footer tree. :)

Paulides in his book tries to postulate why people mysteriously disappear from our national parks and other outdoor locations. He doesn't come out and directly say it, but I believe he is implying that these abductions are Bigfoot related. It doesn't take much Footer logic to extrapolate this into the "hybrid" theory ... well, at least my appliction of Footer logic, but I am not intimate with all of the nuances. I guess with tongue in cheek, I am trying to weave together a coherent theory from the alternative universe that is Sasquatch.

Yes, I understand. It's difficult to know what Paulides claims exactly are. I think he's good at suggesting things but not clearly saying them.
