      Bigfoot myth or monster?

      By xspider1 · Posted

      Thanks, georgerm.  I do try to be civil and Norse has a great deal of pertinent, real life experience and knowledge regarding Science and primate biology.  We just have a fundamental difference: kill vs no-kill.  (That's been going on for decades.  lol)  I never meant to hi-jack your thread and I think it's a really good one!  I will only add that Monsters, by definition, are imaginary or mythical.  I don't really agree with that definition because I think there are definitely Monsters on Earth, but we do need a standard of Semantics (as Norse pointed out) that we can either agree on, or that we are forced to accept either way.     Bigfoot are scary, no doubt about that.  Humans are very scary too, we are The Alpha predator.  We can (and probably should) kill anything that threatens us without cause.  But, given a choice not to kill Bigfoot just in order to convince Science (and to convince people who know everything already anyway) seems like the best approach to me.

      Bigfoot myth or monster?

      By norseman · Posted

      I have been on my feet for about 18 hours. Very tired. But just some quick thoughts.   I feel super strongly that Bigfoot doesn’t deserve to be a mythological monster. It deserves to be a scientific classified species recognized by everyone.   It does not take a deceased male and female Bigfoot to prove the species exists. Albeit that would be a slam dunk example. But a Holotype and Allotype will be taken AFTER discovery. Science isn't going to be happy with a pinky bone or a tooth with a living, breathing species.   How science comes into possession of type specimens typically is through several different means. The type specimens are already in the museum collection.   Type specimens are found in the bush meat trade.   Type specimens are found in remote regions of Earth.   And rarely type specimens are found in our back yards.

      Bigfoot myth or monster?

      By georgerm · Posted

      Wow, xspider1 and Norseman. What a debate that has been civil and neither party has backed down even during the most intense language at proving bigfoot is a real monster. It seems both of you have proved bigfoot is a monster. Seems like most of the audience has backed off while you two have carried on a debate that would heat metal to the bending point. One of the main points that is still not clear is does it take a deceased bigfoot male and female body to prove the existence of bigfoot? Do we agree bigfoot is a real living animal and a new species? Does DNA make the distinction between myth and real living monster? Presently what is the status of bigfoot ............................. myth or monster? Has enough evidence been brought forth for proof of the bigfoot with its own species name? What is the present status of bigfoot? Some claim bigfoot is a myth that can disappear and is abducted by aliens and delivered to Earth's forest.
