I do not think we are only separated by 30,000 years. That would make them modern human and I don’t see the evidence to support that. If our evidence is valid. Like track casts, the PGF, etc. I also do not think we are compatible sexually. If we were I think we would have found it in Native American populations by now. Just like we find Neanderthal and Denisovan genetics in certain populations of modern humans.

Crickets from me because I was ... sleeping. Priorities!! If there is a coverup .. well, it depends. How large, how organized, how well funded, and for what purpose? At what point does the damage from continuing the coverup outweigh the damage from discovery of bigfoot? I think that's the core of the question and each person's answer likely is rooted in what they think bigfoot is, thus the reason for the coverup. The best we could hope for is the reasons are not that important and, in the face of great effort coming, those in charge of the coverup just throw their hands in the air, say "forget" it, and let the discovery proceed .. maybe spend their time and effort concealing the coverup itself rather than trying to hide bigfoot. Worst case, though, if there is some serious reason for hiding bigfoot's existence, then the scientists are putting themselves in grave danger. I do not think gov't has any delusion of being able to find and kill every last bigfoot. If they try that and even one escapes, they've guaranteed that proving existence will happen and all the consequences stemming from proof will happen. If there is a conspiracy, I don't believe they'll risk it. Alternately, the scientists involved might be presented with an ultimatum: stand down or you and your family die. It wouldn't be hard to concoct a story that they were all working on some dangerous new contagion, there was an "incident", and all contracted it and perished. It seems more feasible for conspirators to do that successfully than to kill the bigfoots. Alternately, they tell us WHY the bigfoots are a danger that must be ended, and then go ahead trying to kill them openly. That might be the most likely. I don't believe there's a cover up, though. I think I'd have been told to stand down or face consequences. Hasn't happened. MIB

Meldrum himself gave a presentation several years ago in which he mentioned that through much of human prehistory we shared the planet with two and sometimes three other high level primate species. We and Neanderthal were compatible enough to interbreed giving me 1.2 percent of them in my woodpile. If presently we are the only higher level primate, it is the first time in millions of years. Some misunderstanding of DNA seems to pop up now and then. As is often mentioned we and chimpanzee DNA are 98.8 percent identical because we shared a common ancestor 6 or 7 million years ago. What if BF shared the same ancestor but did not interbreed since? Or did interbreed at times but then diverged. That would make our DNA and BF likewise similar with similar markers. . Any interbreeding since the chimpanzee would throw in markers that humans carry. In the case of my DNA, I have 16 markers placing my ancestors at certain places and times. The earliest was the P305 marker placing my ancestry in Africa more than 100,000 years ago. That was followed by the M42 and then the M168 markers in East Africa then the Rift Valley 70,600 years ago. Each of the 16 DNA markers or sequences of DNA places my ancestors more recently in time. .... They exited Africa before 60,000 years ago when they arrived in Asia. BF interbreeding with humans ancestors at any time would introduce similar DNA markers. My ancestors were wanderers, around Asia, then moving back to the NW and making it into Europe between 15,000 to 17,000 years ago. What if BF migrated to Asia and stayed put, until crossing the Bering Land bridge during one of the several ice ages? If BF DNA had my P231 marker from Central Asia 25,000 to 30,000 years ago, in its DNA sequence, someone would assume it is human or its DNA was corrupted with human DNA with that marker. The problem being you have to accept existence of another species to accept strange DNA marker results and not write them off to contamination. The only way that will be resolved is collect DNA from a BF on a lab table.

Nothing was "added" to the film. There were enhancements done to better show what was already there.

I have encountered lots of Bears. Some Bears stand their ground pop their jaws and look at you like you owe them money. Or they Bluff charge you. Or not in my case they charge you, maul you and eat you. Some times they lumber away and sometimes they run away too. But just because an old lady Bigfoot lumbered out of there instead of bouncing out like a Gazelle? Does mean she wasn’t surprised. And she certainly didn’t stick around to find out what the cowboys were planning.... From the moment of 1st contact she was fleeing away from them. Don’t know how else to take that. She never stood her ground for a second.

Y'all shouldn't ask all these questions if you can't handle the answers. It always boils down to somebody getting in a snit because I'm so "lucky". I was wondering who would be first this time. Congratulations.

I'm sorry. I tried to not respond. So you are the one lucky enough to speak to the wealthy and elite BF, but everyone else sees the poor and bum ones? And the wealthy and elite BF look like us...but the poor criminals look like monkeys?

Don’t all live what way? Are you telling me there is a secret valley somewhere that good productive Bigfoot citizens live? In which they do not live like animals in the forest? Is it like a Bigfoot Bedrock?

It makes a certain degree of sense, based on what was told to me when we asked about their living arrangements in "Guy's" Question thread in the paranormal section. I was told (paraphrasing) that we shouldn't form opinions of all of them, based on observations of their outcasts. He said they have their criminals and bums, the same as we do, but they don't all live that way. I don't have the answer to your question. It defies explanation.

That makes no sense. Unless you asked them and that's what they told you. I guess I have to ask, based on your explanation of what you've seen - what do you think youve seen?
