A Q&A on Bigfoot

Posted by: Nick Redfern on June 7th, 2012

At The Examiner you can find a new Q&A between Jeffrey Pritchett and David Paulides on the matter of the world’s most famous monster: Bigfoot.

In part, Paulides says: “Bigfoot is far more human then ape. Apes do not walk upright. The ability of complex thinking and communication is only a skill of a biped of human qualities. EVERY hair that has ever been DNA tested has shown to be more on the human side of the genetic scale, not ape.”

And here’s the complete Q&A.

I promise not to say anything about the reference in the blog to

“The Hoopla Project”

(Whoops.)

That said, I really have problems with anybody that goes off the deep end making pronouncements on any side of this issue, from it-doesn’t-exist to it’s-human.

Bipedalism doth not a human make; and the other things Paulides alleges as proof that it’s human – including his DNA claims – well, don’t wash with the bulk of the evidence.

Let’s determine it’s real, then decide what it is. OK?

“EVERY hair that has ever been DNA tested has shown to be more on the human side of the genetic scale, not ape.”—Except of course for the ones that turned out to belong to, goats, horses, bison and cattle, and any of the other species that have left behind suspected squatch hairs.

The ability of complex thinking and communication is only a skill of a biped of human qualities.

Well now, we know for a fact this is not true. Whales, Dolphins and other cetaceans have very complex languages and are clever, intelligent animals. Bees also have a unique and complex language although I have no idea how complex their thinking skills are, I supposed that depends on your definition of ‘complex’ as I know several humans who would fail by my standards.

And I have to agree with DWA, for anyone to make assertions that Bigfoot is this or that with NO ABILITY TO PROVE IT is more akin to spitting in the wind. It isn’t a definitive answer, it is an opinion and everyone’s got one of those.
