      But at some point cultural drift turns into real morphology problems. I am willing to accept small variations. Like we forgot to make bows and arrows so we went back to spears.   But not cooking food after your species has adapted to it biologically speaking? Or sleeping on the ground in snow when your ancestors built fires and took shelter?   I don’t think it’s very realistic in the Congo or Borneo. And I think it’s suicidal in Alaska or Siberia.   Our Homo ancestors evolved chasing down game on the Serengeti. We sweat in the noon day sun. That’s our superpower. In order to leave Africa we had to get crafty. Homo Heidelbergensis had hide scrapers. They were making clothes. They had fires. They lived in caves.   Basically we are talking about a Sub Arctic Mountain Gorilla that’s bipedal and hunts with its two hands only. It doesn’t use fire. It doesn’t make stone tools. It doesn’t need caves to survive. And because it doesn’t hibernate like a Bear? It’s taking the brunt of Mother Nature 12 months out of the year.   But it’s also intelligent enough that it stays hidden, bury its dead and has never ate bananas at a zoo in front of a audience.   Does anyone have a sliding scale for ancient hominins or hominids fossil record?

      Perhaps 'reverse evolution' is not exactly the correct term, however, consider this:   'Isolated Relic Populations: As modern humans spread across Asia, small pockets of Denisovans may have been pushed into remote mountains, dense forests, or isolated islands. Living cut off from larger groups, these isolated bands might have experienced changes in behavior or a loss of complex toolmaking skills simply due to smaller group sizes—a phenomenon anthropologists call cultural drift.'

      There must be a food source, maybe small fish etc.

      You have already said that Sasquatch and its ancestors never used tools. So Denisovans are off the table.   And I would be more than happy to hear your theory on what Hominin you are talking about.   Most of us do. Only sub Saharan Africans are not hybridized with either Neanderthals or Denisovans.

      In the great course of things, and especially in the fossil record, feral probably don't leave a mark.
