Also it must be remembered that even though science was in the last century dominated almost exlusively by evolutionists, currently about 45% of scientists don’t believe in evolution. I’m not trying to start a creation vs evolution debate here. I’m just stating the facts.

There is much coming to light also that early humans and other forms may have actually been running around competing for the same food sources. Now, I can’t remember the who’s and what’s, but I’ve read it several times from different sources–I’ll go check on the specifics, but I wanted to get my two cents in before this post gets washed away.

So it very well may be that BF and man having been walking side by side for a long time, and perhaps BF doesn’t propogate as fast as present day humans, accounting for its small numbers, being forced into its present day niche.

As far as the religious/science debate…I’m one of the truly crazy people that doesn’t believe science and religion don’t have to be at odds with one another. Any way you slice it, people are seeing something out there in the backwoods (and not so backwoods), on multiple continents, in multiple environments, and regularly. And it’s not all hysteria, hallucinations, misidentifications, hoaxers and true believers. The sheer consistent number of sightings each year, across this country alone, and the consistency of the data of the sightings, given independant witnesses, is enough to make me think that BF is out there. As to what BF is I think is still open to debate, but to ignore or dismiss it is as foolhardy as to believe everything.

There, now I believe I’ve opened several cans of worms and spread them all over the ground…

Huh?

So Neanderthal is was ape?
I wonder why they are beginning to find DNA of Neanderthal in modern Homo Sapiens.
Some kinky hookups must have been going done in Eden.

This would of course mean that some humans are part ape.

While, for some odd reason, this does make me think of the great line in “Buckaroo Bonzai”
spoken by Dr. Lizardo : “Laugha while you can monkeyboy.”
I don’t think we need to change the scientific classification system of mankind just yet.

You are entitled to you opinion Cryptidhunter 1 and thanks for sharing.
I just wish we could keep Creationism and religious dogma out of the cryptozoological realm.
But I think I may be on the losing end of this wish.

But I agree with Ethologist, who said it a lot quicker and in fewer words.

I really can’t say that this is anything more than basic science.

Regarding Cryptidhunter1

The number of eyewitness reports can be misleading even were most true. At best, the eye witness should lead in the direction of tangible physical evidence which is always required to prove something;”like a skull” or something… and we have giganto hypothesis from Grover Krantz because we have some jaw bones and teeth which yet does not prove in any way that it was bipedal… we need like hip bones or neck vertebre to demonstrate uprightness and bipedalism.

If we take the PG film at face value and call it bigfoot then we aren’t looking at an ape. It would match much closer to homo-hiedlbergenisis or homo-erectus. This also would be supported by first nation beliefs such that the sasquatch were another tribe of humans.
