Before we get all carried away with this, there are probably some more likely explanations. It's entirely possible that these Sasquatch are the feral offspring of hippies from the 1960's that went off into the wilderness to live in communes. Being under the influence of LSD, they likely fornicated with any number of beasts (and those hippie women already had vast amounts of hair on them to begin with). Many of them were communist radicals and friends of Obama's pal Bill Ayers and members of the SDS and Weather Underground terrorist organizations.
The real question here is what to do with them. It would be interesting to see if they could be trained to pick lettuce or do some common landscape maintenance. Look for the Democrats and their community organizers to declare them natural born citizens and victims of racial prejudice, register them to vote, give them drivers licenses, organize unions, sign them up for EBT cards and ObamaCare, grant them vast land holdings for reservations, and set them up to run casinos and sell cigarettes.
The only positive thing that can be said here is that by all indications these Big Foot / Sasquatch seem to like to stay pretty much to themselves, are not interested in Big Government, and likely would vote Republican.

Next-generation whole genome sequencing with the HiSeq 2000 platform by Illumina was performed at the University of Texas, Southwestern on one tissue sample, a saliva sample and one blood sample to produce 3 whole genomes. In contrast to the mtDNA which was unambiguously modern human, the Sasquatch nuDNA results were a mosaic of novel primate and human sequence.
“While the three Sasquatch nuclear genomes aligned well with one another and showed significant homology to human chromosome 11, the Sasquatch genomes were novel and fell well outside of known ancient hominin as well as ape sequences,” explains Ketchum. “Because some of the mtDNA haplogroups found in our Sasquatch samples originated as late as 13,000 years ago, we are hypothesizing that the Sasquatch are human hybrids, the result of males of an unknown hominin species crossing with femaleHomo sapiens.”
Hominins are members of the taxonomic grouping Hominini, which includes all members of the genus Homo.
