"The DNA comes back 12,000 to 15,000 years to the Middle East on the mother's side. Father's side, it doesn't exist in GenBank. 352 billion base pairs of DNA does not exist. The father's DNA does not exist."
Dr. Melba Ketchum analyzed 125 hair samples allegedly from Bigfoot encounters, costing $400,000. Results showed maternal DNA tracing to the Middle East 12,000-15,000 years ago, but paternal DNA matched nothing in GenBank. Four certified labs, including University of Texas, reportedly confirmed the findings. Mainstream genetics dismissed the work as contamination, though no replication studies were attempted.
