Norse and I have butted heads on this many times and I'll just do my best to lay it out from what I see in the evidence. 1. Starting with the PGF, best video and most compelling. The biomechanics of locomotion is just too much like us, which carries all the adaptations of bipedal walking, the bone strutures, balance , muscle developement to not be in the genus homo. 2. The tracks are large but exhibit the arrangement of toes that goes with bipedality and thus all fossil tracks like them are attributed to the genus homo or a direct ancestral hominid.. 3. The vocalizations often have perceptable quantal vowels which, among terrestrial mammals , is unique to modern humans and hotly debated among Anthropologists as to whether earlier forms of hominins like Neanderthal could produce them and thus ,speak like us. 4. Facial descriptions often contain the hooded large nose, large but humanlike lips, hair on the eyebrows, whites around the eyes and generally a flat face ( decreased prognathism ) All go with genus homo. Very few reports of the long canines we might associate with the other apes. 5. The hair samples have been described to be indistinguishable from human by any criteria, other than the distal ends uncut or worn for Sas. (Fahrenbach). I don't necessarily feel they all are indistinguishable, but Fahrenbach deserves mention for his long effort on this front. 6. The DNA, if they really do have human DNA in them, anywhere, it would be rediculous to classify them anywhere but in the genus homo. Note that I'm not talking about the 98 % we share with other apes but the smaller percentage that makes us human. Currently I think BF are a cross between us and another hominin from an earlier split on the genus homo line, one that kept some physical adaptations that permits their way of life in the wild.

It doesn't? If I was born without legs 10000 years ago I would not have lived long enough to contribute to the gene pool. In today's world iam a productive member of society that parks next to you at Microsoft in the handicap parking spot. I have a wife, kids and a dog............ Natural selection has been defanged.

I disagree with your gloating here. I think it is misplaced. Science adjusts theories when new evidence is discovered. So, do you have some new Sasquatch evidence that science can use to reconsider its position on Bigfoot? Maybe some dog hair? No? Didn't think so. Maybe you should give science a break for a day.
