Ars Technica Semi-Breakdown of Ketchum's Bigfoot DNA Publication
While the Ars Technica team are waiting for people with "relevant genomics experience" to do a full analysis on Ketchum's publication, they were able to provide a small breakdown of the paper for us. Although the science may appear sound at first glance, Ars Technica has found a few interesting discrepancies in the manuscript. Here are a few:
- "...We get into some actual biology with enough details to analyze. And the details appear to point in the exact opposite direction of the authors' conclusions that bigfoot represents a recent hybridization between modern humans and an unknown species of primate."
- "...The authors speculate that some humans may have walked across the ice through Greenland during the last glaciation, but there's absolutely no evidence for that. The best explanation here is contamination."
- "...As far as the nuclear genome is concerned, the results are a mess. Sometimes the tests picked up human DNA. Other times, they didn't. Sometimes the tests failed entirely."
- "...Assuming interbreeding took place as the authors surmise, these segments should be quite long, since there hasn't been that much time to recombine. The fact that the authors don't mention this at all is pretty problematic."
- "...At the moment, though, all indications suggest that the sasquatch hunters are working on a mix of human DNA intermingled with that of some other (or several other) mammals."

The DNA of the creature in this clip is part of Ketchum's study:

ReplyDeleteThose alleged minor discrepancies in the Ketchum study -if true- are natural and expected. after all, that is what editorial reviews are suppose to do, point out what is wrong with the study.
DeleteYou will never find any kind of study without critical reviews. The most important point is the fact that a NON human primate nuDNA was found
Face it sweetheart, it's over.
Deletegotta be rush
ReplyDeletedamn this Ketchum BS has got this site rolling!
DeleteBeen a good day for both sides the Ketchumites get their study and us sceptics get to tear into them for being suckers and gloat over all the scientific errors that will be reported in the next 24 hours! Kinda a win, win as neither of us will backdown lol
DeletePoor Erickson,hope he decides to put the film out,I will probably try to call him again when this dies down,interesting guy Rush but does sound angry
DeleteHis Regal Ridge development failure is likely the biggest source of his anger...
DeleteI'm sure Erickson might be a nice guy but think Ketchum's taken him and many others for a ride with this.
DeleteThe footers are now gravitating towards Erickson and his "real" video. Guess it's the only hope they have left...sad.
DeleteYou know Sykes won't have any good news for you, right?
Of course he won't, he's a mainstream scientist in on the cover-up, could be of ocurse his smaples just weren't the real thing and only known species. The constant attempts of BE/TT team to tear down this study won't succeed, why don't you guys just admit you're not in the least bit interested in this truth ever coming out because you're bias towards whatever that certain agenda is you're employed with.
Delete"YYZ"..that's all folks..!
DeleteWritten by the guy they use to review cell phones.
ReplyDeleteYou mean the guy with 15 years as a biologist at Berkeley and Cornell that just slated the paper? That guy huh? Damn those evil scientists standing in the way of real science!!
DeleteYou got it, mr. status quo.
DeleteWhy is Phil so pissed all the time .Just sayin
ReplyDeleteHe is. All those Team Tazer douches slap him on the back like he some sort of analyzing genius. Now he feels like he can do no wrong.
DeleteNope it's just a bad video that shows a breathing shagpile with no animal features except for a bit of soggy hair at what could be it's butt lol

ReplyDeleteThey nailed it. Too easy to pick apart and that's why a real/credible journal would have absolutely no part in this trash. I mean the Epic of Gilgamesh and Daniel Boone being used as supporting evidence says IT ALL.
ReplyDelete^ Loves living in denial.
DeleteDo you realize what a hypocrite you are? You're just trolling, right?
DeleteClarification: Anonymous 2 is "in denial," not Anonymous 1.

Where is smeja when you need him ? him bludgeoning a sleeping bigfoot to death would really solve the mystery!
ReplyDeleteGo blow the meat pibe.
Deleteso.... the people who are waiting for people with relevant genomics experience to review the science, have found discrepancies that prove the whole thing is shit science... without relevant experience,mind you... so now all we have to do is wait for those who do have relevant genomics experience to concur with the findings of those who do not have relevant genomics experience.... what the F@#% is this "article" even about...?
ReplyDeletehow biased and irrelevant can this site possibly get...
tazer approved...?
douche tards...
maybe you guys could get merchant to review the science, he will get to the bottom of this..
megadouchetard.
No I think that they pulled apart the bits that they knew a bit about while some one who is an expert at genetics looks at the rest. If you'd looked you would see the guy is a biologist with 15 years experience working at Berkeley and Cornell so I would expect he might know just a tad more than yourself about biology and science in general. Oh and you're the third Ketchumite to break the new no cussing rule lol
DeleteDon't cry.
DeleteI won't just think it's funny all the believers were totally behind the whole "family friendly" new BE so it would get rid of trolls etc and who's cussing all the time?
DeleteOh the above article isn't a little biased is it? Naw it reeks of it...
DeleteBiased or not it still might be correct quit crying Melba's dying :)
Deleteanon 6;29,
Deletewheres the cuss? i see an F@#% bomb.
theres no ketchum in that post, just a reference about the biases of this site which i agree with the poster is intensely biased.
and education be damned, that article is also,,,,wait for it biased.
the writer of that article didnt present any thorough scientific review, he just said it was contaminated with out having "people with relevant experience" review it fully which is indicative that he himself has not reviewed it with any depth or time to verify the results with repeatability, and he also started the article with a tone of arrogance, insult and general disregard for the subject in general. And having that kind of an education is no great insurance for UNbiased writing, in fact likely the contrary, major institutions are the most likely to have an agenda, especially when the subject may potentially throw evolutionary biology as we know it on its head and therefore negate research of past graduates and negate what they are teaching people.
The most funny thing is that a bunch of ordered bigfoot deniers sit at this blog and post similar Ketchum hating comments at the same time, does kinda give it away guys.
DeleteThe story is BIGFOOT remember? So forget Ketchum and allow the scientist to all huff and puff and blow her paper down. Rick Dyer killed the Bigfoot. Bigfoot is dead, I repeat, Bigfoot is dead. Rick Dyer shot the beast and it's being released in a few months with all the adequate science already studied, reviewed, and reviewed again. When all sees those who have known and kept sealed lips while all this crazy talk about nothing has taken up the public's time and attention. Those that know are keeping quiet due to your inability to have any faith in anything or anyBODY, BIGFOOT BODY that is. ALL will soon see what you should have been discussing like adults instead of arguing like school girls.
ReplyDeleteRick Dyer is the only hope now. That sounds insane but it's true. People like Michael Merchant and that drama queen Steven Streufert act like they are the intelligence of the community yet they are nothing but clowns and bring it down.
DeleteYes friends, Dyer killed the foot, the BIGFOOT THAT IS.what are all you sheep waiting on, follow the real leader to the real body..
DeleteYou mean pregnant lady puncher is your only hope? Man that is bad!
DeleteRick Dyer? LOL! 2013 is a bust, footers. Bank it.
DeleteYou all high and mighty people. If you were hanging from a cliff, would you except help from a murderer? or would you be that moral judgmental idiot who died waiting for the priest.Get off your high horse,"LET YEE WITHOUT SIN CASTETH THE FIRST STONE". Will you all have to clear the dead bigfoot's background to be able to announce him as a real good guy. ignorant.
DeleteMan I can't even be bothered to try and decipher this post to fire back at Ricky. Mr Dyer please use whatever monies that you earn from this and any future hoaxing activities to pay for adult literacy classes so we can save precious time trying to decipher whatever gobbledygook you've written before we insult you, you piece of human excrement.
DeleteThank you in advance
The many Anons of Bigfoot Evidence
Xxxx
^^^. Dude, no one knows what you're talking about. step away from the crack pipe
DeleteMan I wish but I spent my last $30 on Bigfoot, no crack for me :(
DeleteThe trolls just get dumber and dumber, I swear it. LMFAO They now trust in Dyer and will somehow buy the DNA coming from his murdered victim, not that I believe there is one but just for the sake of argument, yet a thorough DNA study out now they won't because it blows apart their idea of not only what this species is but most importantly that a woman discovered it. LOL
Delete100% irellavent article. What the hell do these people know about DNA???????????
ReplyDeleteGas-bag Libtards!
Footers lose and lose BIG just accept it!
DeleteAnon 5:59 what do you know about DNA? The guy who looked at the paper was a biologist you know one of those real science people what are you appartently a dumb anti-science Republican!
Delete6:22 BE comment, guys, we know already. LOL
DeleteMelba created the Journal and the website. Notice on the DeNovo Journal of Science website that the journal is listed as volume one issue one. Please dot buy this! All she wants is your money!
ReplyDeleteIt's not really a journal article you get a porn video of her and Bigfoot
Deleteall that is going to come out of this is that this blog will die. Bad judgement Shawn
ReplyDeleteYou mad you paid $30 bucks for a load of bs and taking it out on Shawn?
DeleteI think if this blog was going to die it would have already. Having said that, it does nothing for Bigfooting. It's pretty crappy actually.
DeleteYeah, bad judgment Shawn... tisk tisk... You can't have an opinion and no one else can either... Just buy your evidence and keep your idle threats to yourself... USA has free speech and a right to your own opinion... There is a flight leaving for China with your name on is Anon 6:11
DeleteOh, Shawn will ban your ass here if you start saying the wrong thing 6:22.
Delete^^butthurt footers^^
DeleteNobody's going to buy her paper it's becoming available soon enough.
DeleteI'm pissed drunk and I wanna fight somebody on this blog! I had enough f this bull crap! You wanna step up to the mayor? Huh? This evidence is bs and bm! Matilda is a gull darn sleeping brown bathmat. Huh? Jesus Murphy I give so much of myself to this phenomenon or industry and it's nothing but pain and sorrow. I said when I was a little boy, "Daddy, is there a bigfoot?" He said "boy, there's gonna be a big foot in your ass if you don't grow the f*ck up!" So tired...zzzzzzzz
ReplyDeleteI'll fight you mayor. There I just beat you up. I think that if you go to melbas site and pay the 30 bucks you don't get a journal article it's really a photo of her doing a full Monty.
DeleteYou wanna fight eh? Put your head up my ass and fight for air!
DeleteLol, Mayor are you just going to take this beating^^^^^^^?
DeleteFine we can have a rematch. There you won this one.
DeleteCome at me Brosef.
DeleteZzzzz.. i'm up. You little bastards think your tough behind an ipad telephone eh? I'd discover a bigfoot if I wasn't so busy you knw guys? The birds eat the sesame seeds so there's nothing I can do about it until Robert Lidsey sends me the email. Hahahaha. It's okay. M. Strudwick we can still be friends
DeleteKen: Mayor you need a good snort of my 190 1st run whiskey barrel aged smooth TN MTN moonshine in your tank son. In about three drinks or 10min which ever comes first, Bigfoot will find you. You can fight all night long on just a half pint. It's good on drains and carbs too. Someone said you could get it for $100 a gallon, but I wouldn't know. It has been connected to some BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS IN ky.
DeleteHush little footer, don't say a word. Melba's gonna shit you a big fat turd.
DeleteIf that stinking turd don't shine, go home and drink a bottle of whine.
Mayor - would you go over to the BFF site and kick the friggin' door in. They won't let me inside. Everyone knows nothing can resist your quarter pounder.
DeleteYeah anon we can be BFFs... I'd like tthat buddy
DeleteYou could bring them something that they have never experienced before - a sense of humor and common sense. They would be in awe of you, proclaim you mayor and might even let you drive their Lincoln. Watch out for those Mulder and DWA guys though - they're buttholes.
DeleteWe can pass judgment when we see all of Matilda, yes it does look odd laying there but what bigfoot video will the bias skeptics not say that about, so by all means bullshit but there'll be plenty of time if it truly looks like shit when we see more. Keep in mind it's not the only moving images they have and real bigfootage is already known, yes trolls hate everything but we hate every troll too.
DeleteI loved the comment linking to this:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw_3wyVJbEI&feature=youtu.be&t=3m32s
We are a scientific journal!
Ya might want to be careful Shawn I just lost 2 FB friends over the little bit I said on my blog.
ReplyDeleteOh no! 2 Facebook friends? Say it ain't so!
DeleteLol IT is so whatever will I do?
DeleteWow!! 2 whole FB friends? You poor bastard.
DeleteHow will you recover from this?
Yeah 2 face book friends that's like what one drunken acquaintance from the 90s, that's harsh are you ok big fella?
DeleteIt never seems to go any other way. It's all garbage, every time. I come to this site cause I'm fascinated by the possibility for this creature being real but all signs point to no.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I think, all of those people out there have to be seeing something, so what is it?
I don't know, but I give up and I won't waste anymore time on this nonsense.
Hey, you've still got Rick Dyer... LOLOLOLOL
DeleteI worry about the Mexican women who are being kidnapped by space aliens and being given gynological exams and impregnating them. These women give birth to themselves. It's disturbing.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! You should go to WIX. and get your own website/journal and publish a paper. You can call it the Imaculate Conception of the Latina. Your first example could be from Davie Crocket in the Alamo... He saw that before getting his a.s.s shot off.
DeleteI would also suggest a price of $24.95 and have an acompanying video of Space Mexican Orgies.
That is a very good idea. I don't have access to any space Mexican orgies though. Oh I will just make one doesn't have to be real anyway. I like the 24.95 price too doesn't sound too high and leaves you with the feeling your getting something for your money.
DeleteEverybody should watch UFO tv if you really want to see some fruit cakes
ReplyDeletePlenty of them right here.
DeleteUFO tv is for crack pots
DeleteYes haters and fakers don't watch it people with brains do.
DeleteFooters lose and lose BiG Dr Ketchup should lose her vet license for this trash she has perpetrated.
ReplyDeleteAll she's done really is be a useless geneticist and charge foolish people money to read her totally flawed and inept study. Not illegal unfortunately :(
DeleteMore useless narrowminded self-composed BE boloney.
DeleteI wonder how much Melba would charge to milk my dog's anal glands? I would do it myself, but it's a pretty messy process. Much more suited to a veterinarian.
ReplyDeleteShe'd probably screw it up. Just let him drag his butt across the floor.
DeleteYou never know she might find something unknown to science up there too
DeleteOr she could stick her hand up there and pull out a Bigfoot!
DeleteAnyone ever notice you never see Melba Ketchum and Rick Dyer in the same place at the same time?
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could flush all the idiots here down the toilet but I'm sure it would stop up my septic tank!
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean your "skeptic tank" haha! See what I just did? I made a joke!
DeleteWhere's Sykes info? What are you biased jerks going to do when his findings support Ketchums?
ReplyDeleteYou mean if and they won't because he's a scientist not a cat vet
DeleteHe's mainstream science but the smarter more awake and alert portion of the population, not the brainless zombie sheep you're trying to protect, already know what his results may be because of his oath to the status quo agenda that nothing big in society/world-changing discoveries can happen unless the #1 superpower US government okays it Especially not on home soil, are you kidding me.
DeleteBased on the comments here - its no wonder some think the world is coming to an end. What a bunch of loosers. Please save yourselves and go get a real life.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, we got another bleeber whiner over here^^^^^^^^. How about waaaaahhhhhhh burger and some french cries.
DeleteIn that case, so glad you could join us, "looser".
DeleteSuggest you try spell check and decaf.
So a bunch of confessed nonexperts who apparently can't read are delivering expert commentary on things they know nothing about. Give me a break.
ReplyDeleteWhy not go to one of the Universities etc and ask them to explain the detail to you in words of one syllable. Otherwise get a brain transplant.
"The authors speculate that some humans may have walked across the ice through Greenland during the last glaciation, but there's absolutely no evidence for that. The best explanation here is contamination."
DeleteNOOOOOO!
If you can believe the Federal Government, Bigfoot has and will always be A PARANORMAL INTERDIMENSIONAL SHAPE SHIFTER! Which has something to do with why they don't talk about it, because people can't deal with it. Thus the phrase, "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"!
Bigfoot is on Hawaii. Hawaii has never been joined to any other continent with ice. Therefore, ice is not required for trans-continental travel. Since Bigfoot has an ORB phase, Bigfoot can fly. I have personally filmed Bigfoot ORBS, instantly accelerating to extremely high speed, and then stop on a dime. Therefore, Bigfoot can cross any water body on the planet. Had Melba gone to the University of California Berkeley, she would have been welcomed with open arms. UC Berkeley studied the paranormal aspects of Bigfoot from the early 60's to at least the late 70's.
Nice.
DeleteI have this simple theory why it's assumed that we the people can't handle something like this, be it bigfoot or ETs. Believe it or not, but many people get nervous around people with many tattoos - you can imagine how they'd react meeting a 9 foot tall squatch man or see some flying disc land in their garden. We're basically still cavemen ourselves, we're barely out of that stone age and our mind's not readily developed to accept it yet. Technology as we know it today was unthinkable just a decade ago, it's all alien stuff but that's not what you're being told of course because we like to uphold the image of being a great discoverer race - not someone this is all basically handed to like it really is.
