I was shocked that I didn't hear about this when it came out, and didn't see any threads in the last few pages.

Basically, Zana was a reputed Almas/Almasty, a sort of Russian wild woman/sasquatch, who reportedly became tame and moved into village. Well, science might have reached a sort of resolution:

They DNA tested her tooth...she is 100% Homo Sapien.

I have seen the African slave theory. It also seem to me she could have had gigantism and been ostracized because of it.

One way or the other, it is a very sad story. I hope she rets in peace.

I think the theory that her people were primitive homo sapiens from an earlier migration seems to make sense. These migrations may have been separated by thousands of years and her people may have lived in the area a long time. If later waves of more modern homo sapiens defeated her people and then forced them to escape into the mountains where they hid out, she may have been one of the last of her tribe that were not hybridized with the later arriving locals. Intriguing, unfortunately our cable provider doesn't get that station. Maybe I'll try to see it on Netflix or On Demand.
