On The Yeti Trail 2014

"Hobbit" - tiny prehistoric human.

1990s tree of life conception of evolution.

several human species existed on earth. maybe Bigfoot is the one prehistoric human who didn't die out?

Is Yeti Neanderthal Man?

samples: hair. dna testing. with one hair we can do anything.

even when we think we know everything, there is still something out there.

Orang Pendek. Adele Mores is an artist who creates these creatures. she is quite striking with amazing hair and gauges. Orang Pendek witness descriptions: great fur-muscles-eating fruit.

professional monster hunter. (now how well does this job pay??? and where do I sign up???)

you have to keep going back and back and back to see these creatures...

1 in 3 Americans believe Bigfoot exists. (I'm one of 'em!)

The Yeti is our double who has escaped civilization.

A nostalgia for wildness.

no funding for Bigfoot research

private millionaire Adrian Erickson investigating in Canada. he has captured videos of distant forms moving in the woods, along with a closeup that resembles Chewbacca from Star Wars.

holotype: image of living creature.

a strange cry. difficult weather conditions. putting their hair samples and chewed fruti pieces in liquid filled vials.

Dr Melba Ketchum testing samples submitted for analysis: If Bigfoot mated with humans, DNA would read human. mother passes mitrochondrial DNA down. nucleus DNA would include the fathers DNA. there was no known match. she found human, primate, and unknown animal in this DNA from samples. was DNA contaminated? damaged?

the Himalayas expedition samples were from a polar bear. they don't live there. so, has Bigfoot been mating with humans AND polar bears?
