Found these little knife gadgets at Cabelas this morning for $12 each - fun!

Seems? Average? Patty is slightly taller than Jim McClarin at 6 ft 6 inches. This we have a fairly good lock on. Definitely not 9 feet tall. But we have no way of knowing what height the species averages on anecdotal accounts. The vote is out on heidelbergensis size average. But the fossils speak for themselves. And Erectus gave rise to heidelbergensis and the hobbit and other species of Homo. Ive struggled with that myself. But the more I dug the more I understood that Erectus was at the cusp. Some populations flaked stone tools and some seemed to have lost it. Same goes with fire. The Ebu Gogo myth on Flores Island talks about them eating anything raw. In fact the name means “grandmother who eats anything”. They also reportedly had their own form of murmuring language and could parrot native islander words back to them. They also stole children. The descriptions are actually quite uncanny. Bigfoot I agree exhibits neither tool making or fire use. But they also seem to be more intelligent than an orangutan, which arguably would be in the range of Gigantopethicus. They also reportedly have some rudimentary language. They also are bipedal which the only bipedal genus outside of Africa to date is Homo. I now think its easier to believe that a form of Homo Erectus walked to North America on two legs and got bigger and lost technology along the way. Than to believe that a giant ape possible related to the orangutan and ate bamboo in SE Asian jungles somehow parallel evolved bipedalism and made the trek to North America. It would seem that Gigantopethicus was a specialist while Homo Erectus was a generalist. My bet has shifted on which horse I’m backing in the race. But of course I’m open to further debate.

This one may be from a movie, too. I ran across it today & there was nothing said about it. They were calling it a dogman, but it looks more like a BF to me. Anyway, it is pretty clear as BF pics go.

I don’t post very often, but I have hung around this forum for years..many years. I read a lot and have learned so much here. I’ve gone through periods of serious doubt and I swear its almost like a depression....yet just this evening I had the opportunity to hear a young lady tell me her experience while hunting, and it gives me such..hope? I will continue to lurk..

Hey, I'm a skeptic! We've only banned two members since September 2018 and they earned it.
