    “A new university-backed project aims to investigate cryptic species such as the yeti whose existence is unproven, through genetic testing.

    Researchers from Oxford University and the Lausanne Museum of Zoology are asking anyone with a collection of cryptozoological material to submit descriptions of it. The researchers will then ask for hair and other samples for genetic identification.

    “I’m challenging and inviting the cryptozoologists to come up with the evidence instead of complaining that science is rejecting what they have to say,” said geneticist Bryan Sykes of the University of Oxford…”

    Fantastic read! Very hopeful, exciting, and brilliant way to investigate the current cryptozoological evidence.  I’m looking forward to learning what may come of this study. Fun!

Story paves the golden path towards the door to mystery,
the invisible yet tangible threshold bridging the secular to the sacred.
Sharing a vast and magical universe
that continually offers gifts and blessings, both ecstatic and sublime,
story soothes, salves, and inspires - it nourishes who we are.
