Given that there are so many intractable problems we have been
discussing, it comes as something of a relief that the yeti has
finally been placed phylogenetically - apparently Tintin got it right
first, which is also a relief. Something of an intuitive taxonomist,
I would think.
See Milinkovitch, M. C., et al. 2004. Molecular phylogenetic analyses
indicate extensive morphoilogical convergence between the "yeti" and
primates. Molecular Phylog. Evol. 31: 1-3.
