In this episode of Journey to the Fringe, we delve into the fascinating and controversial world of Dr. Melba Ketchum and her infamous Bigfoot DNA paper. Dr. Ketchum, a Texas-based forensic scientist, claimed to have sequenced the genome of Bigfoot, suggesting that these elusive creatures are a hybrid species resulting from the interbreeding of humans and an unknown hominin.

We explore the scientific methods used in her study, the skepticism and criticism from the scientific community, and the dramatic fallout that ensued. From the creation of the DeNovo Scientific Journal to the allegations of bias and self-publishing, this episode uncovers the layers of intrigue and controversy that have surrounded Dr. Ketchum's work.

Join us as we navigate the murky waters of cryptozoology, scientific rigor, and the quest for proof of one of the world's most enduring mysteries. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this episode promises to be a captivating journey into the fringe.
