Ok this story deeply troubles me on multiple levels. Now for those who don’t know me personally it has long since been a dream of mine to venture deep into the forests of rural America and hunt down the elusive “Big Foot”. To become one with nature and match one of its strongest beasts armed only with my bare fists and ingenuity. The glory of dragging the fallen behemoth with my own strength back to society and proclaiming: “you wanted proof of Big Foot’s existence? Here it is.” But alas, I fear that day will never come. Because two guys found what they claim to be Big Foot deep in the forests of Georgia. They are also providing DNA evidence to further back their claim. Link to the story can be found here.
how can they take DNA evidence of something that has never been captured? what DNA are they comparing it to? and if it isn’t Big Foot… what the fuck is it? so many questions!
Well what they’ll do is cross reference the submitted DNA to a database of known DNA, and if nothing matched up we have a new species.
:3 reaaaally?
