Genetic testing confirms the legendary Bigfoot is a human relative that arose some 15,000 years ago — at least according to a press release issued by a company called DNA Diagnostics detailing supposed work by a Texas veterinarian.
The release and alleged study by Melba S. Ketchum also suggests such cryptids had sex with modern human females that resulted in hairy hominin hybrids, but the scientific community is dubious about her claim.
"A team of scientists can verify that their five-year long DNA study, currently under peer-review, confirms the existence of a novel hominin hybrid species, commonly called 'Bigfoot' or 'Sasquatch,' living in North America," the release reads. "Researchers' extensive DNA sequencing suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago."

Lol...
From the very same article you link as DNA proof:

So where's the evidence? Well, there is none. Not yet, anyway: Ketchum's research has not appeared in any peer-reviewed scientific journal, and there's no indication when that might happen.

Do you understand why your quote is contradictory? There is no existing known sasquatch DNA. It's impossible to confirm the existence of DNA that doesn't exist. They could compare DNA to other known primate DNA that has been sequenced. But they can't confirm DNA that they've never sequenced before.
As your source mentions:

And this is quite telling...

Article is over 10 years old. Still none of her evidence shared with anyone else to verify what would be the biological discovery of the century?
And her "Peer review" process? It turns out every single scientific journal she submitted her study to, rejected it. So what did she do? She created her own scientific journal to submit it to. :-)... can't make this up...

If you're a believer, which I lean that way, you'll know there are a lot of things about this creature that disclose the potential of an alien aspect to the creature. Footprints that just stop in stride where they are moving through snow or mud. And the presence of orbs often witnessed in their presence. Lots of "not of this Earth" type stuff [Reply]
It isn't about opinion at all. You claimed that peer-reviewed proof of Bigfoot DNA existed. That's clearly not true. The claim itself is impossible. Maybe take a look at some additional articles, you'll find the same criticisms. [Reply]
