On The Ketchum DNA Results
By

To all who’ve been holding out hope
for concrete proof of the existence of sasquatch through Dr. Melba Ketchum’s DNA
evidence collection can stop hoping. It’s pretty much a done deal…and a wash.
According to Eric Berger’s science
blog, Sciguy, he had a good constructive conversation with Dr. Ketchum, who made
him think maybe the subject was worth pursuing further. He solicited the opinions of several
geneticists to examine the results of the paper when it was called into question
by many after it was published earlier this year in a less-than-reputable
journal that had only been created a week before the paper’s publication. Their
conclusions: “At best, the evidence was inconclusive.”
Berger said he solicited this panel
on the advice of a geneticist in Texas he knows personally and he guaranteed is
top in his field. He declined to name names because, he said, “Some of his [the geneticist’s]
peers would question his engagement on such a topic, believing it unworthy of
valuable research time.”
Berger agreed to delay
writing anything on the topic until these geneticists had made their
determinations. And they said it was a mix of opossum and some other species.’
Not what we were hoping for at all. We can only hope the Sykes study will glean
something worth all our time spent wondering. ******DF
