I'm missing something here
I don't get how this is news concerning a yeti. from what I understand, a yeti is like a bigfoot that is a half man half ape like creature that walks upright
and here they found a bear. what does that have to do with a yeti?
so if they find a hybrid manatee, can they say or confirmed that they found a mermaid?
if anything, this story further proves that there is no yeti and that it's just a bear that people have been "sighting"
That last point you made is kind of what I'm trying to convey. Through the search for this cryptid, a large animals DNA was uncovered suggesting an ancient bear still roams the earth today, and proving that people have actually been seeing something. That means the bear IS the Yeti.
I guess to see this you have to look at the Yeti not as an ape-man, but as an unknown creature that people have been seeing.
