I think it’s possible that the lines on various parts of the figurine could also represent clothing. Surely with the human penchant for decorating ourselves and our surroundings, clothing decorations such as fringes, beading, burning, etc, must have been around for millennia.

red_pill_junkie,

Those lines are probably intended to represent ceremonial painting or tattoos.

I don’t know if this new carved figurine represents a Bigfoot. But I’m not that sure it represents a Homo sapiens, either.

I would like to point you guys to the distinct criss-cross lines carved in the arms of the figurine. There are also some lines around the breasts. Are these lines supposed to represent body hair?

Well, THIS one immediately put me in mind of a (considerably heavier, less-tidied-and-turned-out…and headless) ancestress of the redoubtable bounty huntress Beth Smith Chapman, mate of ‘Dog’. Image-search her if you don’t already know what she looks like! However, ever since I saw several views of scientific illustrations of various animal BRAINS, I’ve thought that the shape of them, seen (dorsal view, olfactory bulb at top, medulla oblongata at bottom), looked awf’ly reminiscent of some other ‘caveman venuses’: Olfactory bulb as head, o. tract as neck, cerebral hemisphere split by epiphysis as breasts, cerebellum as abdomen, ventricle IV as mons pubis, and medulla oblongata as legs. Dorsal views also have similarities in certain species. BTW, a uterus + fallopian tubes has a certain similarity to the heads of horned ruminants. As for the steatopygia: Read Hallet & Pelle’s PYGMY KITABU and you’ll find big support for the idea of ancient types San/’Bushman’ race having been in Paleolithic Europe!

When I look at “Patty”, what I see is a large male biped of the species Homo sapiens with (although it is not physically apparent in the video) its tongue firmly in its cheek .

Seriously though, even if you buy that “Patty” is a real Bigfoot and not a hoax, it’s much differently proportioned than the Venus figurines.

Gotta say I tend to agree with kittenz. Wishful thinking on part of the artist. Though I find the steatopygia element facinating in respect of what it represents genitcally - a major change perhaps in the last 30,000 years in the European genotype (to be expected, but still quite surprising).

m_m and dogu4:

I think it’s quite likely that there are a number of features in the sasquatch that one could expect from an animal that doesn’t experience a whole lot of evolutionary pressure to conform to type. Too Much Junk In The Trunk Disease could be one of a host of things. Variable facial features, hair length, and build seem to be others.

(And I can *spell* TMJITTD.)

As interesting as that line of speculation is, however (and I don’t think we need to speculate anything other than a similar, but distinct, motor mechanism), I’m not seeing an ape when I look at Venus.

Of course I never had a girlfriend who looked like that either. Whole ‘nuther thread.

kittenz: if you see no resemblance to Patty, you haven’t seen the video. Watch as they turn the figurine around in the light; you’ll see what some interpret as an interpretation of a moving mound of muscle in the thigh of an undocumented hairy hominoid.

Others, of course, interpret it as mankind’s first representation of water bags incorporated into an ape costume. At least a few say they can see mankind’s first interpretation of a zipper.

Although now, of course, we can hope to put the lie to the presumption that the sasquatch isn’t anywhere in the fossil record.

Stop me, please….
