To be significant kwit and zana’s dna must differ from homo sapien if their reported history is true and it would be interesting to see what more enlightened analysis, which I hope you now have access to, might reveal in due course.

Things are now at an interesting stage awaiting the outcome of Dr ketchums work on potential bigfoot samples and there seems to me to be a bit of a lull before a storm scenario. I do not think it will be easy but rather expect some exciting new facts to be revealed. This could have some bearing on Kwit and Zana, I hope it does.

It seems a bit odd that there is very little evidence for denesovan man as compared to say neandertal man and I would anticipate revelations maybe concerning many more examples being identified or turning up. Looks like pealeoanthropology is going through a pardigm shift which all started with homo floriensis. Shame Dr Grover krantz isn’t here to see it all- but maybe he is!

There is also another difficulty: the last DNA analyses of Bigfoot’s DNA lead us to conclusion, that their DNA does not differ of the human’s…

Than you for your reply. However, I think you will have difficulty in convincing interested parties that the Kemerova site was not compromised in a significant way. Be that as it may, I feel that other evidence should arise which will make up for it and interesting and valuable knowledge gained. Be nice if you can make it happen with clear cut cases and evidence and also not be put of further work by doubts that some might about Kemerova.

It is pleasing to know that Kwit and Zana are being looked at again and it would be interesting to learn who is doing the additional work and their eventual findings. Are you able to state who it is at this point? I wonder how certain you are that the skulls you have are those of Kwit and Zana because from Zana’s description she was quite a lot different to the average human female and this ought to show up in her DNA. There was another report recently from Manitoba Canada of a female who may have been similar to Zana and appeared to be seeking human company. I do not have a link at present.

As to the findings in the cave, I myself was astonished of seeing them. Before that day I didn’t believe that the creatures visited that cave. And even the dermal ridges were seen on one footprint!

As to Khwit’s and a woman’s skulls, I’ve given them up to geneticists to make their analysis… Now it is not in my responsibility, the results depend of them. And they work in cooperation, Russian and American specialists in that field…

He is not alone and bigfoot research is full of individuals who ‘criticaly think’ their way through what is on offer in the way of evidence and reject and accept accordingly. It is thus they come to believe in the reality of bigfoot.

It is nice to hear from Dr Burtsev again he’s a great advocate for relic hominids and has been for nearly 50 years. I am sure he doesn’t always get it right and has a particular political matrix to contend with. Even so he has and is making a welcome contribution to Russian research and good that he can share it with us and reach out to us in the way he has done. One hopes that with the improvements in being made in DNA analysis he will consider in due course having Kwit and Zana’s DNA tested again.

As for a lack of credible evidence I doubt this is so. There is defiantly a multi-faceted bigfoot phenomen with hugh amounts of evidence the best explanation or hypothesis for which is that a real creature is at the heart of it. Like much of science absolute proof is elusive and difficult but there is enough evidence for a rational person with knowledge to say with some confidence, bigfoot is real.

Don’t split the Bigfoot researchers of two countries!

United we shall win!

As Kemerovo region officials reported, a scientific conference featuring a boxing legend, Nikolai Valuev, and U.S. Bigfoot believers held in beginning of October, 2011 in that region of Russia, has claimed that it found “95 percent evidence” for the existence of a Yeti-like hominoid in southern Siberia.

But the opposition politicians ridiculed the findings as pure pre-election publicity for United Russia. On another hand, all this might attract so far is tourism, said the scientific opponents.

And just in less than a month after the Conference the Siberian taiga answered to both the politicians’ and other suspicious scientific skeptics’ accusations. See following.

On November 6 a resident of the Tashtagol city Yuri Koungoushev with his wife Svetlana and two daughters arrived for the weekend to their summer cabin in the forest not far from the city. They noticed big footprints in the snow which crossed the yard and went up a steep slope through the bushes. The family were surprised and scared by the size of the strides that were close to 4,5 – 5 feet. In some footprints they could see imprints of toes. The footprints crossed also a 14 feet wide creek, not having broken the thin ice on its surface, i.e. the creature just jumped over that fairly wide creek.

The stride up the slope became shorter, about three feet, but still too long for a human walking up that slope.

Yuri took shots with his film camera and made video-clip of the event. The family didn’t stay at the house for the night for fear of the creature, they returned to the city and informed the local newspaper about their findings.

On the next day the photo-reporter Kirill Sazanov with other collegues came to the spot and was convinced that those were real tracks of a huge biped. He also took several photos of the footprints, but fresh fallen snow made them not so visible. Anyway, the newsmen were very excited with what they saw and published an article about it which the local people sent over to me.

I connected later with Kirill, and he has sent me the video and photos of the findings.

Thus it looks that the Snowman decided to show to the skeptics that he really exists in Highland Shoria, and was not made up by the authorities for their electoral purposes, and not deceiving the international public. Of course, the authorities showed their wisdom and flexibility and attracted this phenomenon for the good of their population, which is worthy of praise.

And at the same time their attitude objectively contributes to progress in the study of these mysterious bipeds. For this the researchers-hominologists are very grateful to them.

I could attached photos by Yuri Koungoushev< but am not aware how to do this
