Bigfoot question

[jetophile]

 

[Larz]

Another plausible theory is Bigfoot is a recent ancestor like neandertal, which could explain the high IQ enough to avoid capture 

[kelticwizard]

Larz:  Totally agree.  Don't know if Bigfoot exists or not, but just a few years ago we found another extinct human species, the Denisovans, which are related to, but not the same as, Neanderthals  In addition, there are the Red Deer Cave people in Asia as well.  Most researchers would not be surprised to find others.

 

Homo Erectus left Africa for the Middle East, Europe and Asia over a million years ago and kept on evolving until going extinct perhaps 50,000 years ago.  Some Homo Heidelbergensis, who had an archaic face like Homo Erectus but a brain about as big as modern humans, left Africa 700,000 years ago and evolved into Neanderthal, Denisovan, and perhaps other so far undiscovered species. The Heidelbergensis who left Africa never evolved into Homo Sapiens, though.  The Heidelbergensis who stayed in Africa did become Homo Sapiens, us. By the way, all these different species are considered just as human as we are.

 

As Neanderthal was approximately as intelligent as Homo Sapiens, there is no reason to be sure that a similarly intelligent  human species might not have migrated from Asia to North America like the Homo Sapiens did.  Especially since the Asians on the other side of the Bering Strait also have their accounts of a similar being.

Have you ever read eaters of the dead? 

Fascinating premise 

[kelticwizard]

Have not read Eaters of the Dead, though I have read other Crichton novels.  Checked it on Wiki, looks interesting.

 

There was some body from the Middle Ages in Europe that somehow got the reputation of being a Neanderthal in the modern era.  It wasn't of course, just some European with harsh features, but the Neanderthal image somehow stuck.

Bigfoot is able to slip through dimensions, like skin walkers can.

Whatever you do,  don't watch the movie,  it's horrible. 

Crichton writes the novel as if the manuscript was literally true,  then gives it a fictIonal ending.

Astonishing Legends explains all this.

Bigfoot is camera shy.

Man...talk about timing....two buddies of mine decided to go to a Bigfoot conference held this weekend in Hastings, NE.

They got their picture with Bob Gimlin

I’m pretty sure if there were 8 foot tall apes wandering the forests of North America, we would’ve found some concrete evidence by now.

We can unearth dinosaur bones that are 60 million years old...but we can’t find a single big ass Bigfoot carcass in the woods? 

It’s a hoax.

Basically the American folklore equivalent of the Loch Ness Monster or the chupacabra.

Yep.  Some Good Ole Boy would have bagged one by now for sure

For me the only plausible explanation, if there are Bigfoot and Yeti etc, is the concept of multiple dimensions.

Explain Black Panther then. 

Cant. Thought so.

It was clearly a human in a costume.
