Default Purported Yeti Samples Are Genetically Identical to Asian Bears, DNA Study Says

Purported Yeti Samples Are Genetically Identical to Asian Bears, DNA Study Says

The Yeti, a mysterious ‘hominid’-like creature said to inhabit the high mountains of Asia, looms large in the mythology of Nepal and Tibet. Now, a new DNA study of purported Yeti samples is providing insight into the origins of this legend.

“Our findings strongly suggest that the biological underpinnings of the Yeti legend can be found in local bears, and our study demonstrates that genetics should be able to unravel other, similar mysteries,” said Dr. Charlotte Lindqvist, a researcher at the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences and Nanyang Technological University.
