OMG, who gives a shit, just look at it for a sec! Does this look like the imprint of someone wrapped in it? No; it looks like a flat rendition from the front, like a painting on a canvas.
So why should anyone care about the DNA on it? It's clearly a fake, of a fiction character I might add.

Knowing more about who created the hoax might be interesting. But the media is just playing into the religious side of it, for sure.

Seriously. I do not care about some dubious cloth that has a picture of a zombie on it.

The fabric was likely made in India...
As such there's a bunch of DNA that can be traced to India, but also a shit ton from anyone that is around it up to modern day.
DNA is everywhere, and linen is basically a big net.
So human DNA being on it is 100% normal, and doesn't validate anything about it's religious claims.

You think this was a parallel investigation or some shit?
Obviously it came from the article.

I think you've read tone into my comment that wasn't there. Wasn't trying to be antagonistic.
