@corrick
I agree completely.

How does this theory incorporate earlier finds of homininans? Australopithecus wasn’t Bigfoot-sized, nor were any of our ancestors. If the fossils tell us that humans evolved from primates with smaller brains and of shorter stature, than how can this theory be not regarded as anything more than pseudoscience?

I find much to like in some of this theorizing, in particular the concept of our modern human domestication, and that process not necessarily being one where we got smarter, but rather more socialized some of the secondary characterizations of it being presumed to be intelligence though not necessarily requiring any greater brain power (if that’s what they are saying, and it seems to me that they are) and that this process led to our being physically adapted to that greater interdependency as we see in some other examples of domestication (wolves to dogs, aurochs to cattle, wild sheep to domestic sheep are three that come to mind).

red_pill: If we’re just talking lifestyle choices, well I agree with you!

If we’re talking strictly methodological choices, I’m methodologically wondering why there doesn’t seem a Meldrum nor a Bindernagel within 100 miles of their research.

Well… Bigfoot doesn’t have a 9-to-5 job, doesn’t pay taxes and doesn’t bother himself with churches or governments. So maybe these guys are on the right track after all.

“The fact that Sasquatch not only exist, but exist throughout the whole of the United States is extraordinarily important to mankind and to science.”–It’s not a “fact” until it’s proven to be a fact, and if the existence of sasquatch was a proven fact none of us would be visiting this site. We have here nothing but one more bigfoot “expert” who has proven that he has zero credibility by with his own words.

These people are exactly why mainsream science avoids Bigfoot like a plague. Still I must admit it made me lol while reading their “theory.”

Flawed theory.

One problem with this theory is that humans have actually been growing taller since the mid 1800′s. Granted this probably has more to do with nutrition than it does with genetics, but still it needs to be taken into account. On the other hand our nutrition is probably getting worse…
