Bigfoot to be discovered through DNA research
By Park Jun-hyung
The Bigfoot also known as abominable snowman, or a yeti, has been attracting attention from around the world. University of Oxford will start the search for the creature, according to The Daily Mail of England from May 22.
The university has focused on searching the yeti for quite some time. They are joining up with Lausanne Museum of Zoology and looking to expand the research by starting to gather DNA acquirable materials such as hair and teeth from other institutes and universities.
“We are studying about Homo Sapiens and the link between other species from human evolution,” Oxford University told the press. “Unofficially, we are willing to study other creatures similar to the yeti, such as the Cryptids.”
They are accepting samples from any human-like creatures such as the monster from Ness Lake, and even creatures that don’t reside on land. They are setting many hypotheses most likely being that these creatures were Homo Sapiens that have adapted themselves to best survive the environment that they were left in.
Yetis were first found in 1899 in the Himalayas and has created stories ever since. But research through DNA studies came forth last year after they extracted a sample from a hand-like fossil.
