14 The nature of the beast: Genetic evidence for Yeti, Bigfoot and other mystery creatures Bryan Sykes, Professor of Human Genetics, describes how he located and analysed as many DNA samples as possible with links to the Yeti. In doing so, he found himself entering a strange world of mystery and sensationalism, fraud and obsession. Bryan Sykes 10 Jul 2015
