Full Title: Was 19th Century apewoman a yeti? 6ft 6in Russian serf who could outrun a horse was 'not human', according to DNA tests
Witnesses said Zana the apewoman had the 'characteristics of a wild animal'
She was allegedly trapped in Caucusus mountains and covered in thick hair
Had 'enormous athletic power' and she could infamously outrun a horse
A genetics professor has analysed DNA of six of her living descendants
Hundreds of explorers, theorists and fantasists have spent their lives searching for the infamous 'big-foot'.
But a leading geneticist believes he has found evidence to prove that it - or rather she - could have been more than a myth.
Professor Bryan Sykes of the University of Oxford claims a towering woman named Zana who lived in 19th Century Russia - and appeared to be 'half human, half ape' - could have been the fabled yeti.

Zana was of African descent even though she lived in the wild Caucusus. Zana was discovered and trapped by a local merchant who hired a group of hunters to hunt her down in the region of Ochamchir - and she was eventually tamed by a nobleman on his estate in Tkhina. This is -- how you say? -- politically incorrect.

So she was of African descent even though she was Caucasian? Herodotus reports that an Egyptian pharaoh left some black troops in that area (Colchis) but that was about 98,000 years later.
Bryan Sykes is a well-respected name in the field of genetics. I have read one or two of his books.

Discovery Channel did a piece about this woman including DNA analysis of her descendants, it showed up as partially sub saharan Africa. This woman was allegedly kept in a cage by some nobleman and passed around to his “noble” buddies for pleasure. They supposedly captured her in the forest, but who knows how she got there.

“Run faster than a horse, swim across the Moskva river even when it rose in violent high tide, and had had at least four children by local men.” Was that with or without her clothes on?

When they say “outrun a horse”, that can be deceptive.
For short distances, human sprinters can outrun horses, because they have faster acceleration. In past this was used to win bets. Conversely, even though they have a much slower gait than horses, camels easily overcome them in races, because their gait is much larger.

So she was of African descent -—
