Squatchy!

“Its looking very squatchy here!”

That’s a quote from the popular cable show called “Finding Bigfoot.” In it, a team of Sasquatch hunters comb North America looking for the elusive hairy, man-like creature. They have yet to find one.

Well, now, science may be lending a helping hand by proving that the creature actually does exist.

According to PRweb.com, a team of scientists, using samples of strange, unknown hair, found in the wild, have confirmed the existence of a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch,” living in North America.

Researchers’ extensive five-year DNA sequencing study suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago as a hybrid cross of modern Homo sapiens with an unknown primate species.

The study was conducted by a team of experts in genetics, forensics, imaging and pathology, led by Dr. Melba S. Ketchum of Nacogdoches, Texas. In response to recent interest in the study, Dr. Ketchum can confirm that her team has sequenced three complete Sasquatch nuclear genomes and determined the species is a human hybrid.

There is more science geek stuff at the link. I’ve actually watched the show ‘Finding Bigfoot’ a few times now and want to beat the tar out of them every time they say ‘Squatch’ or ‘Squatchy’.
