Guest Theagenes Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Poll for Witnesses Only Please! I've put together this group of reconstructed images of prehistoric apes and hominins ranging from the most apelike to the most human-like and I'd it would be interesting to see if we can tie any particular species to eye witness descriptions. Please don't take this poll if you are not a witness or if you are a witness but did not see the creatures face. For witnesses: Don't look at hair or skin color as those are conjecture. Focus on the shape of the face---the eyes, the nose, the brow ridge, the chin, the forehead, etc. Thanks and let's have fun with this and see if we can learn something!

Sasfooty Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I voted D because it's the closest, but the nose isn't right & the upper lip is too long. That was just the one that I saw really close. None of these have the intelligence that I saw in the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Bass Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 They either look heavy early man or heavy ape...never really both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Theagenes Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 They either look heavy early man or heavy ape...never really both. And that's why I included the none of the above category. I think if a majority say that it's none of the known hominids that's pretty significant in it's own right. Remember too, though that with the reconstructions the artist was only guessing at how hairy the faces are and how dark the skin is. Obviously BF is probably hairier than some of these reconstructions so try to imagine these same facial features but with more hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Nice job, Theagenes. Wonderful idea. I hope those who have seen bigfoot in person chime in soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Where did you find all those images anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Theagenes Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) ^A lot of googling. Most of them come from museum reconstructions. I tried to find reconstructions that had as much hair as possible (some keep their reconstructions bald), as BF could be a hominin that is simply hairier than we think. I hope that more people that have had sightings will vote in this poll. To me credible eye witness accounts are some of the most intriguing evidence and I would really like to see if there is a pattern that we can tie in with known hominid candidates. Also, if you do vote "none of the above" or "combination of two" and you feel comfortable sharing, please explain your answer. For example "It has a nose like J but an upper lip like H." If it is an unknown hominid that might give us a clue as to where it might go on the "family tree." Edited December 24, 2012 by Theagenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salubrious Posted December 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2012 I voted D because it's the closest, but the nose isn't right & the upper lip is too long. That was just the one that I saw really close. I did not see the face (sorry), but- D is the only one that has the hair right (I saw I side profile). I don't see a peak in the rear of the cranium, which was really visible on both that I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasfooty Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 The one that I got the best look at looked a lot like this one. The nose was much smaller & turned up on the end. The skin was lighter, & the face didn't seem as hairy. http://tinyurl.com/bo7y8zu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Most like "C". The face was striking because it was much longer, wider, and flatter than a Human face. The hair was the same color and length as a orangutan. Hands were a darker color like the hair on the body. The face was lighter in color than the rest if the body. I estimate the subject was 6.5 to 7 feet tall. Edited December 24, 2012 by Florida reader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I have never seen a BF, but im interested in the results as more witnesses drop in. Good idea OP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
