Still, how the hell did it get to the Himalayas?
The crew of a UFO abducted it, flew into one of the holes at the poles, cruised through the hollow earth, popped up in Shambhala.
Obviously!

Well, if you go with the theory that brown/black bears have been mistaken for sasquatch, then a white bear mistaken for something similar to a white sasquatch would be reasonable.http://forteanzoology.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/error-in-sykes-paper.html
Moder polar bear, not ancient polar bear hair. Still, how the hell did it get to the Himalayas? Also, polar bears, in no way, resemble yetis.

Yeti aren't white, though.
The researchers must have been open to the possibility of a yeti with at least some white hair, as they opted to test the hair as possible yeti hair.Yeti aren't white, though.

How do we know this? There may be a lot of colour variation, as with people.
So we have non-white hairs coming back as polar bear, which is interesting in and of itself. The hairs deserve more research, not the least of which into how polar bear hair came from the Himalayas.There may be, but that's not relevant. We know of the yeti through sightings and local lore, and neither contain 'reliable' accounts of a white yeti. It's just not the usual colour of a yeti. I suppose there could be brown polar bears, too, that we haven't regularly seen, but you wouldn't say that in the right conditions a brown cow could be mistaken for a polar bear, just because there might be such a thing as a brown polar bear. And my understanding at the time was that the hairs analysed weren't white, either.
Dunno! But it's only my ageing memory that says the hairs were not white. But I'm pretty certain that it's only the popular western perception that says yeti are white, perhaps influenced by the 'abominable snowman' epithet. But, whether white or otherwise, polar bear hairs in the Himalayas raises questions.So we have non-white hairs coming back as polar bear, which is interesting in and of itself.

Perhaps someone slipped some non white polar bear hair (presuming polar bears have some hair that is not white somewhere) into the samples as some sort of control or test of the procedures?
There are some animals that change colour according to the seasons (e.g. the Snowshoe Hare):

Suppose the Yeti (or even the polar bear) has that seasonal adaptation?
Perhaps it does. Perhaps it changes through shades of brown, red, orange and white throughout the year. Perhaps it has a larval form that resembles a fifteen legged tarantula. Perhaps it comes from Pluto. Maybe it has a profound understanding of radio commercials.
Yeti aren't white, though.
I assume the top scientists, the really thorough ones, at the top of their game, brush the snow off putative yeti hairs before subjecting them to genetic examination.They would be if they were covered in snow.
That's irony for ya!The yeti is not white. Its black or brown. There has never, to my knowlage, been a report of a white yeti in Asia. The sasquatch is said to have a white colour morph but not the yeti.

How do we know this?The larger type of yeti (there appears to be three distinct types) may be closely related to the North American sasquatch.
How do we know this?
From reports and from the natives themselves who insist there are thre distinct types. The teh-lma is 3-4 feet tall and sounds akin to the orang-pendek, the mi-teh is man sized and may be a mainland orang-utan or orang-utan relation and the massive dze-teh wich is up to ten feet and may be a surviving stran of Gigantopithecus or something like it.How do we know this?
I know i like muscular women but that's a bit much!He was captured by a sasquatch who kept him as a mate for 3 months.
