Because of the extraordinary claims in "Novel North American Hominins, Next Generation Sequencing of Three Whole Genomes and Associated Studies" (Ketchum et al., 2013) the Bigfoot Community has been debating it ever since. This book is the result of research over seven years (more than the original study) in understanding the Sasquatch Genome Project and its published paper. Dr. Haskell Hart tells the story of his increasing involvement and understanding of the paper as he presents his own results and conclusions, which are at odds with the Ketchum et al. paper. He first explains the structure and function of DNA as background. With 45 figures and 29 tables of data (more than in the original paper), all carefully explained to the layman, this extensive scientific critique of the paper is the only one of its kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth Hurts
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021

I was one of the first skeptics to Melba Ketchum's Sasquatch Genome claims, based primarily on her lack of information and insistence that everyone needed to buy her book to learn more. The scientific community turned-down her papers before she decided to write a book about it. Additionally, she had a strange history that I will not go into here.

Dr. Hart really did an excellent job with explaining the details involving how Ketchum's claims can easily be dismissed, and should be. It is also a great book for anyone who would like to learn more about genetics and genomes, and how to collect specimens properly, in addition to the proper methods used to determine a species. It is not a joke book, but Dr. Hart has a sense of humor that I enjoyed very much ... very similar to my own.

I am not a Sasquatch Skeptic in any way, and have been a field researcher since 1976, but I also do not accept every fanciful claim related to this topic when they appear out of nowhere. This is exactly how Ketchum's claim was presented ... POOF, WE HAVE THE ANSWER !!! Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.

Even the idea that Sasquatch is some sort of human/ape crossbreed is beyond reasonable to most Sasquatch Research Veterans, and geneticists alike. I definitely want this species to join the rest of the known earthbound species with scientific classification, but there is a right way to go about this. Dr. Hart's book just adds more support to my current understanding of such matters, and will be helpful to all who read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very dry, but very informative
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2021

Very dry and can be hard to read for some. Even me, a Zoology grad. It was very informative, and I have read a few other books on genetics and population migrations by Prof. Bryan Sykes. But this book does clear up the fraud being perpetrated by Ketchum et all. Funny thing is, I texted with Justin Smeja, (Sample 26), just after Prof. Bryan Sykes published his paper. Ketchum et all used a Data Base that did NOT contain the genome for Black Bears. Prof. Sykes had already Identified Smeja's sample as Black Bear. Ketchum et all got results for Panda, Polar Bears, Walrus and some human (contamination from mold). Their data base did not have black bear genome in it. They claimed that it was "Unknown Species" related to hominid. My impressions of Smeja from Messaging with him, is that he is a slimy poacher. He was trying to save his rear end, when he hit on a means to fame and fortune. He failed with a true geneticist, Prof. Sykes. But you now see him on TV being the Bigfoot researcher.

4.0 out of 5 stars Need more explanations in here

I am very interested in the bigfoot phenomena and expected to learn a lot about using DNA analyses on hair samples. The technical details here are somewhat bewildering despite an effort by the author to explain what is being done and how. I guess I found that DNA analysis is in fact as hard as I suspected even to the point that I have not finished the book yet. Unfortunately, the author claims that the results of this study cannot be used to satisfy scientists as to the authenticity of bigfoot claims. I am eager to find out why but the going is getting tough so I will get back to this at a later time. Perhaps you, the reader, may understand this in all its glory. I suggest following along with a simple book on DNA to try and fill in the gaps.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deceptive blasting procedure.

Dr. Hart felexes his work as mote in-depth that The study he tries to denounce. Stating took seven years for his study. The genome project did its first mitochondria test on bigfoot dna in 2002. By the sumner of 2003 they had determined that:
1) bigfoot hair is unique in look and contains little dna. Therefore easy to typecast. If a sample didnt past the hait analysist it was tested.
2) only idenitied hairs with an attached follicle got tested.
3) bigfoot mitocondria was human female.
4) the human mitochondia dna found in bigfoot was 13,500 years old, doing a mutation count against modern day human female. It was proven to be not contamination.
All these thing were common lab understandings in dr. Ketchums lab ten years before the genome study release. Dr hart makes no mention of these facts and decided to only attack results. Dr. Hart did no denetict testing. Dr. Hart didnt buy an expensive plast program for an expensive computer. He presfered to use free online blast program and blast small portions of the genome at a time through an internet connection. Those portions yealded different results. Even if he did prove one of the genomes was inaccurate he didnt prove all the results to be inaccurate. The genome project dna results( 3 nuclear & 20 mitochondria) would have to be proven inaccutate in their entirety to proven that a biological animal doesnt exsist. Dr. Hart didnt do that. In fact in a radio show that i listened to he ackowledged that some of the genetic sequences were unique to the primate family and earth. Isn't that what we would be expecting for an unidentified primate. In the end the book includes genome peoject bashing in every paragraph. He comely states the project should have used modern blast databases availible to him in 2019. Completely oblivious to the fact that barely 15% of those data bases were availible in 2011. Dr harts book did make the science completely unattainable to the lay person in order to sound knowledgable. Hes a retired chemist from the oil industry and not a genetisist. Those he used in academia have bashed the genome project from day 1 over issues that were settled 4 years before the study started. Dr. Hart believes he has debunk the 3 nuclear genone sequences on on the next generation machines cat a texas university for $300,000. To date ive heard of no court case that dr. Hart presented his findings in to recoup the $300,000. If dr. Hart is right doesnt that prove fraud. Nobody in the world has challenged machine results in court as they are very expensive. You cant fool the machine nor construct a genome with 2.8 billion base pairs. Im hoping ill be able to give the book away.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great beginners guide to the DNA of unclassified species
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2021
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this book and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that on occasion Hart comes across as pious and self important. The Ketchum study was badly flawed and Hart exposes exactly why and where it is nonsense but he does continually appear to be in direct argument with Ketchum and taking criticism personally rather than providing a neutral dissection of the paper. When he avoids this, it is a great read that is easily understandable to the genetic layman. After reading this book it allowed me to re-read the Ketchum paper with far greater comprehension and understand for myself its failings.
