Does a yeti really exist? This question is being asked by many scientists around the world. Numerous evidence of its existence, in practice, turns out to be fake. Some scientists have seriously approached the issue of studying Bigfoot and began to look for confirmation of its existence.
The term "Bigfoot" itself appeared in 1921, after Colonel Charles Howard - Bury published the book "Mount Everest. Exploration”Interest in this creature especially increased in the 20th century, when tourists from different countries began to specially travel to this region to catch an unknown creature.
The USSR is the only country that has shown interest in studying such a phenomenon as the Yeti. The problem of finding him was considered at the state level. On January 31, 1957, a meeting was held, the only question of which was “About Bigfoot”. Even a Commission of the Academy of Sciences was created to study the question of Bigfoot. It included: primatologist, geologist, botanist, mountaineer, physicist, and even a Nobel laureate. But the most active members of the commission were the doctor Maria - Zhanna Kofman and Professor Boris Porshnev. The main hypothesis of scientists was that Bigfoot is a primate that has survived to this day, from a degraded branch of Neanderthals. After some time, the commission stopped its work, but the results of its work were not canceled. Even after the cessation of official research, the most ardent enthusiasts continued their research to confirm the fact that Bigfoot exists.
Also in 1954, an expedition to Everest (Expedition to the Bigfoot) was carried out. The group was led by climber John Angelo Jackson. As a result of this hike, photographs of ancient drawings of the Yeti appeared, as well as its huge footprints in the snow. A hair sample was also found, presumably from the head of a yeti.
Evidence for Bigfoot from Foreign Scientists
Professor Brian Sykes (University of Oxford) also spent his whole life searching for the Yeti, and believed that it was the Yeti that was discovered in Russia in the 19th century. (in the mountains of the Caucasus, a huge woman who looked like a half-monkey was discovered). Her name was Zana, she had a thick red hair, was very strong, had a monkey face. Conclusions that this is a yeti he made, analyzing the saliva of her relatives, as well as the teeth of her late son Khvit. From all this, Sykes concluded that her DNA has no analogues in the world, so this is a yeti!
Modern researchers have come to the conclusion that the yeti is nothing more than a subspecies of brown bear, which is the result of mixing blood. There is a high probability that the hair of an unknown animal that was found in the Himalayas belongs to an animal that resulted from the crossing of two species of bears. In addition, in one of the 300-year-old Tibetan manuscripts, Sykes discovered the following description of the yeti: a type of bear that lives in inhospitable mountain areas.
In one of the museums in Texas, visitors are shown the body of Bigfoot, who was killed back in the 60s. But skeptics say it's just a human figure specially made from latex.
