Bigfoot Hunter Drops Bombshell DNA Proof: Sasquatch Is Part Human — And It’s Hiding in Our Backyard!
In a discovery that has sent shockwaves through the cryptozoology community and beyond, self-proclaimed Bigfoot hunter Charles “Snake” Stuart claims to have unearthed the first scientifically verifiable remains of a Sasquatch — and DNA testing suggests the creature is a Neanderthal-human hybrid.
Stuart says he stumbled upon the decomposing body while camping in New York’s remote Adirondack Mountains in 2024. The specimen, which he named “Dack” after the park, measured approximately 8 feet tall and weighed around 300 pounds. According to Stuart, the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition, yet he and a taxidermy expert managed to preserve the body, bones, fur samples, and footprints found nearby.
The real bombshell came from DNA analysis reportedly conducted at Cornell University’s Veterinary BioDNA Lab. Results allegedly showed the specimen contained 58.5% Neanderthal/Denisovan DNA — a mix of European and Asian archaic lineages — and 41.5% human DNA, including traces linked to Native American ancestry. Stuart describes it as a “Neanderthal-human hybrid,” suggesting these beings represent a distinct familial line that avoided modern human genetic bottlenecks after the Ice Age. He argues this explains their intelligence, aggression, and ability to remain hidden in dense forests for centuries.
Teeth analysis reportedly placed Dack’s age at late teens to early 20s. Stomach contents indicated a scavenger lifestyle, consistent with survival in harsh wilderness environments. Stuart believes multiple such creatures still roam remote areas of upstate New York, possibly living in caves and emerging seasonally.
This isn’t Stuart’s first foray into the spotlight. He has hunted Bigfoot for over a decade and authored “The Bigfoot Bible,” a memoir that debunks popular myths portraying Sasquatch as a great ape, alien, or supernatural entity. Instead, he presents it as a close human relative — essentially a remnant population of archaic hominins that evolved alongside us. The preserved body was displayed at the 2025 New York State Fair, drawing an estimated 60,000 visitors, and is slated to return for the 2026 event from late August to early September.
The claims have ignited fierce debate. Proponents see this as potential proof that redefines human history and evolution, especially given references to similar ideas from figures like Jane Goodall about possible surviving Neanderthal-like populations. However, skepticism abounds. Prominent Bigfoot researchers, including Matthew Moneymaker of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, have dismissed the exhibit as a hoax or elaborate prop. Scientific consensus on Sasquatch remains unchanged: no verified physical evidence or peer-reviewed DNA has ever confirmed the existence of an unknown North American hominid, with past samples typically tracing back to known animals or contamination.
Regardless of where one stands, Stuart’s story has thrust the centuries-old Sasquatch legend into the mainstream once again. As he prepares for another public tour and continues advocating for further independent testing, the mystery of what — or who — might still lurk in America’s wild places grows deeper. Could Dack represent a game-changing link to our ancient past, or is it the latest chapter in humanity’s enduring fascination with the unknown? Only time, and perhaps more rigorous science, will tell.
