Wild Thing: Distant Relative or Kissing Cousin?
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on October 10th, 2018
Just what is Bigfoot? Descendant of ancient apes? Close human ancestor? Evolution might hold the answer to this question. Homo sapiens may rule the planet now but once upon a time, we weren’t the only hominid creatures walking around. Who’s to say that Bigfoot wasn’t—and still isn’t—among us? We talk to evolution experts and anthropologists, including Ian Tattersall, curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
As always the jury’s still out. I tend to think maybe Bigfoot is an evolution of something from our past, no longer Giganto or some other relic, but something on our lineage which has evolved over time, adapting to the ever changing environment.
Unless you go down the Bigfoot is extra-dimensional/UFO related and so on (and I’m still not in that camp).
