MEXICO: Over the centuries the legend of North America’s Bigfoot and the Hemolayan Yeti have continued to crop up.Here in Canada, there are still many Bigfoot sightings each year.
Now, scientists may finally be able to say that the giant creature was not a myth.
Bryan Sykes, emeritus professor of human genetics at the University of Oxford, has identified a strain of west African DNA on the Georgian-Russian border that he believes could belong to a sub-species of modern humans.
Sykes claims to have found the best evidence that a woman who lived in 19th century Russia could have been a yeti.According to accounts, she was described as resembling a wild beast, and “the most frightening feature of which was her expression which was pure animal”, one zoologist wrote.
Analysis of her DNA showed that while she was “100% African”, she bore little physical or genetic resemblance to any modern African group.
Experts believe the wandering ‘Wild Woman’ was found lurking in the remote region of Ochamchir in the Republic of Abkhazia.
According to Yahoo News, her resemblance has been described as that of a wild beast, and “‘the most frightening feature of which was her expression which was pure animal”, one Russian zoologist wrote in 1996 according to a report in the Times.The man who organised various eyewitness accounts of Zana wrote: “Her athletic power was enormous.
“She would outrun a horse and swim across the Moskva river, even when it rose in violent high tide.’”
Zana was eventually “tamed” by the nobleman who bought her as a servant and kept her on his estate in Tkhina in the Republic of Abkhazia, according to local accounts.
