That kind of thing is standard fare with everything. I like to call it "the carnival class". There are people who love to go and see the freaks, the tumblers, play the shell games, and get startled in the haunted house, and the operators make a living putting on the show. It floats their boats. Their activities actually promote the circus atmosphere surrounding sasquatchery, and that tends to make the average Joe think that sasquatchery is quackery. And that is precisely what tends to protect the species; people dismissing their existence. So most folks are happy: * Sasquatches * The current Masters of Anthropology * Government * The folks who would wet their sleeping bags if they realized that sasquatches really were out there * Skeptics * The Carnival Class * Those who want sasquatches left alone * Etc The only folks unhappy are those who demand that everybody knows.

Wrong. From Nature: A 130,000-year-old archaeological site in southern California, USA " ..... Th/U radiometric analysis of multiple bone specimens using diffusion–adsorption–decay dating models indicates a burial date of 130.7 ± 9.4 thousand years ago. These findings confirm the presence of an unidentified species of Homo at the CM site during the last interglacial period (MIS 5e; early late Pleistocene), indicating that humans with manual dexterity and the experiential knowledge to use hammerstones and anvils processed mastodon limb bones for marrow extraction and/or raw material for tool production.
