Scientist In Russia Claims 200 Yetis Living In Southern Siberia
Some of the latest claims by a Russian scientist named Valentin Sapunov, are not sitting well with his colleagues. Recently, Sapunov stated to the media that some 200 Yetis live in a large area of southern Siberia and asserted that scientific tests, including DNA checks, found that hair samples from a remote cave near Mt. Shoria belonged to a human-like mammal unknown to man. One lab that purportedly tested and confirmed the "Yeti hair" results is now firing back, saying Sapunov is lying through his teeth.
The director of the Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Science, Oleg Pugachev, told a state-run newspaper that his institute never published anything related to the Yeti hair sample:
Mr Pugachev said: 'Let me make it clear - Sapunov is blatantly lying.
'He came with some bits of hair to the Institute, and spent a lot of time in my office complaining that official science want nothing to do with it and no-one wants to test them.
'He asked me to help. I took a pity on him and ordered our DNA specialists to carry out a test.
'They did not manage to extract any genealogical material because there were no hair bulbs.
'The structure of the hair showed that they could have belonged to a goat, and a bear, and to other animals.
'That's the end of it. What Snowman is he talking about? If he ever appears close to our Institute I will not let him anywhere near the doorstep.
'I don't know how to stop the rubbish he is spreading in the media.'
Svetlana Borinskaya, a doctor of Biological Sciences at the Institute of General Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said: 'I know Sapunov personally. He never worked with DNA - or if he did, I've never heard of such works.
'But I do know that he is obsessed with the Yeti since his early years.'
If he had done serious work, he should have published it in a scientific journal, she added.
Professor Sapunov has hit back, saying there is more evidence of the Yeti than for many officially documented species, some of which are reported to exist on the basis of a single bone.
'Every science needs its Yeti,' he said, adding that Fermat's Last Theorem led to advancements in mathematics for more than 350 years before it was solved in 1995.

ReplyDeleteDear Poop in Jar Guy, it has been brought to my attention that you have in your possession a large collection of vintage poops in a jar. As I am an officianado of fine poop, I humbly request the opportunity to tour your cellar and perhaps purchase some of your oldest and most rare poops in a jar.
