Was 19th Century apewoman a yeti? 6ft 6in Russian serf who could outrun a horse was 'not human', according to DNA tests on her ancestors
A leading geneticist claims to have evidence that 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 (pictured
inset). Witnesses described the six-foot, six-inches tall woman as
having 'all the characteristics of a wild animal'. Known as the 'ape
woman', she had at least four children by local men and some of her
descendants still live in the region. Now DNA analysis on the remains of
her son (right) and living granddaughter could prove that she belonged
to an ancient 'sub species of modern humans'.
