DNA to shed light on
yeti claims
A UK-Swiss team will use DNA testing to investigate the
origins of remains claimed to be from yeti and bigfoot.The project will examine
hair, bone and other material from a collection amassed by a Swiss biologist -
and will invite submissions from elsewhere.Many cultures relate legends of
hairy, humanoid creatures that lurk in the wilds, rarely seen.But material
claimed to be from such creatures have never been subjected to modern
scientific techniques."It's an area that any serious academic ventures
into with a deal of trepidation... It's full of eccentric and downright
misleading reports," said Prof Bryan Sykes, from Oxford University.The
researchers will apply a systematic approach and employ the latest advances in
genetic testing, aiming to publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
