Yesterday The Blaze<\/a> reported that scientists analyzing hair samples from different sources around the world found something interesting. Periodically we hear about a new species of animal discovered deep in the ocean or somewhere in a remote forest–they found DNA<\/a> that closely resembled something very old.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Using a rigorous decontamination method and conducting RNA sequencing<\/a> to identify species origin from the hair samples, the team found a few samples were closely related to a prehistoric polar bear. All the other samples were from known mammals that are still living, like cows, dogs, sheep and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the study published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society<\/a>, some of the samples were a 100 percent match to the\u00a0DNA recovered from a more than 40,000-year-old Pleistocene<\/a> fossil of Ursus maritimus<\/a>. This finding, the study suggests, could mean that\u00a0descendants\u00a0this prehistoric polar bear could still be living in the Himalayas<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bottom line here is simple–we don’t know everything we think we know. I am going to continue watching “Finding Bigfoot” and loving it!<\/p>\n
