How can the gender be determined?
Considering that the claim â risable as it is â is that Bigfoot is supposed to be a lost human lineage, then the observation that it walks like a human doesnât do much to disprove the claim.
Our mom used to get all bent when my brother and I wanted to watch The 6 Six Million Dollar Man. She thought that it was completely ridiculous.
Yea, because little boys have never been known to want to watch anything completely ridiculous⌠

You appear to be starting with the idea that itâs a suit and working backwards. When he counters âwhat other thing has a stride like that?â with âother documented but extinct primatesâ, heâs not claiming itâs Australopithecus in an ape suit (an obviously silly idea), but something like Australopithecus. For most of human history Australopithecus was completely unknown, now itâs accepted scientific fact, but that illustrates the bottom line in the debate: the only true proof is a physical specimen.
When Australopithecus was discovered it fit nicely into our existing knowledge of primate and hominid evolution. We found it just where one would expect to find a prehuman hominid ancestor, and the fossil record is full of clues on how it evolved, migrated and eventually gave rise to other species. We have none of that for Sasquatch.
Iâm not betting on the existence of an extant nonhuman hominid but if I did Iâd be looking for it in remote regions of Africa, or possibly even Asia. I havenât even heard a plausible theory for how a genus of nonhuman ape would have even migrated to North America, let alone hidden any physical evidence of its existence for untold thousands of years.

I concur. How is it that an ape ranging from 6â8" to gargantuan according to eye witnesses, and weighing hundreds to thousands of pounds is also more elusive than the loris, the kinkajou and the aye-aye, even though these bigfoots live in highly populated areas, and there are tens of thousands of people if not more looking for them?
Might as well just call them what they probably are: misidentified bears.

But thereâs a man-to-man personals section! These guys have an incentive to be identified properly, even if they are discreet.

Sure, I canât argue with that, but I was really just pointing out that his reply about âa primate in an ape suitâ was more like trolling than a serious question. To be fair he may have just misunderstood the comparison, but it seemed willfully obtuse.
I have no stake in the Bigfoot debate. I think itâs possible though improbable. New scientific discoveries happen everyday, and it seems like hubris for humans to rule it out.
I still think it is unlikely that Australopithecus would wander around in an ape suit.
A pin-stripe suit, maybe â they were natty dressers â but not an ape suit.

Uhhh. . . isnât a tuxedo often referred to as a âmonkey suitâ?

Too short. Youâd need one australopithecus standing on anotherâs shoulders. Would that affect their gait?

Two words:
âHairy boobsâ.
Close ups of the film appear to show breasts when the thing turns to look over itâs right shoulder. Nice little bit to add to your gorilla suit Iâd say.

Iâve analyzed the film frame by frame and concluded that itâs a guy in a gorilla suit. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. This film ainât it.
