The group, which revealed its findings in    Dallas on Tuesday, says Bigfoot is a human relative that has    existed for 15,000 years, ABC News reports.  <\/p>\n<p>    We want people to understand this is a serious study, Dr.    Melba Ketchum, a genetics scientist led the project, told CBS Dallas. People    have chosen not to believe it. They cant find it in their    minds to think these things exist.  <\/p>\n<p>    The five-year study funded by businessman Adrian Erickson cost    more than $500,000. Ketchum led a team of experts in genetics,    forensics, imaging and pathology sequenced three complete    Sasquatch nuclear genomes and found that it is a human hybrid.  <\/p>\n<p>    Our study has sequenced 20 whole mitochondrial genomes and    utilized next generation sequencing to obtain 3 whole nuclear    genomes from purported Sasquatch samples. The genome sequencing    shows that Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to modern Homo sapiens,    but Sasquatch nuDNA is a novel, unknown hominin related to Homo    sapiens and other primate species, the group wrote in a press release.  <\/p>\n<p>     A five-year    DNA study conducted by the Sasquatch Genome Project along with    new photos and videos of the alleged animal confirms Bigfoot is    real. Sasquatch Genome    Project  <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>     A five-year    DNA study conducted by the Sasquatch Genome Project along with    new photos and videos of the alleged animal confirms Bigfoot is    real. Sasquatch Genome    Project  <\/p>\n<p>    The team used 111 specimens taken from alleged Sasquatches    hair, blood, skin and other tissue type that came from 34    different hominin research sites in 14 U.S. states and two    Canadian provinces.  <\/p>\n<p>    Ketchum, a veterinarian by profession, was initially a skeptic.    When she began testing DNA samples five years ago, she set    strict protocols when extracting collected samples. \"This    creature does not follow general rule. What it does do is very    different. We think it is human hybrid. That is our theory,\"    she said.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>More here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ibtimes.com\/bigfoot-existence-confirmed-sasquatch-genome-project-releases-dna-evidence-new-footage-photos\" title=\"Bigfoot Existence Confirmed?
