Hi aaq , interesting article ! Hair samples are just fascinating .
2 important quotes from the sight ..........
"Sequences derived from hair sample nos. 25025 and 25191 had a 100% match with DNA recovered from a Pleistocene fossil more than 40 000 BP "(Before Present)

And

"While it is important to bear in mind that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and this survey cannot refute the existence of anomalous primates, neither has it found any evidence in support. Rather than persisting in the view that they have been ‘rejected by science’, advocates in the cryptozoology community have more work to do in order to produce convincing evidence for anomalous primates and now have the means to do so."

This is the first time I've heard of the scientific community informing the cryptozoological community to stop complaining and get to work . There's no denying it and there's no back door or magic bullet , we have to collect our own evidence , haha . (taz)
Thanks for sharing aaq !

Indeed.

This is the bloke who coordinated it:

Might be worth dropping him an email to see if he still collects and what the protocol is, address, etc etc

Rusty this covers everything. So if you post blurry pictures and bullshit etc you haven't read this.

Thanks aaq , I'd love to speak with him considering he has an open mind and his involvement in this .

Hi Daniel , it covers most things except for paint.net (ouch) :lol: . If you find something follow it up and check for secondary evidence . Not that hard to do .
