Ok i should have been more specific with my earlier comment about reports decreasing, i knew there was a decrease in data somewhere and it looks like the decrease was in visual sighting as opposed to overall reports, even though there is a significant decrease in overall reports in 2013 - 2016 from 2010 - 2012. This holds both continent wide across the US and Canada and also in WA State, the State with the most activity. Data from BFRO, Oregon Bigfoot, Bigfoot Encounters, John Green Database, PA Bigfoot Society and various other public databases. Total Reports Continent Wide including alleged vocalizations, wood knocks, track finds and actual visual sightings for 10 year periods. 1965 - 1974 : 189 Reports 1975 - 1985 : 498 Reports > Increase 1985 - 1994 : 396 Reports > Decrease 1995 - 2004 - 916 Reports > Increase 2005 - 2015 : 1224 Reports > Increase ( Includes extra year of 2015 ) Class A Reports Continent Wide for 10 year periods. 1965 - 1974 : 164 Reports 1975 - 1985 : 320 Reports > Increase 1985 - 1994 : 243 Reports > Decrease 1995 - 2004 - 484 Reports > Increase 2005 - 2015 : 458 Reports > Decrease ( Includes extra year of 2015 ) Total Reports WA State including alleged vocalizations, wood knocks, track finds and actual visual sightings for 10 year periods. 1965 - 1974 : 36 Reports 1975 - 1985 : 89 Reports > Increase 1985 - 1994 : 64 Reports > Decrease 1995 - 2004 - 192 Reports > Increase 2005 - 2015 : 193 Reports > Increase ( Includes extra year of 2015 ) Class A Reports WA State for 10 year periods. 1965 - 1974 : 19 Reports 1975 - 1985 : 46 Reports > Increase 1985 - 1994 : 34 Reports > Decrease 1995 - 2004 - 77 Reports > Increase 2005 - 2015 : 50 Reports > Decrease ( Includes extra year of 2015 ) Last 20 Years Continent Wide Total Reports for 3 year periods. 1995 - 1997 : 191 1998 - 2000 : 297 > Increase 2001 - 2003 : 311 > Increase 2004 - 2006 : 360 > Increase 2007 - 2009 : 310 > Decrease 2010 - 2012 : 436 > Increase 2013 - 2016 : 236 > Decrease Last 20 Years Continent Wide Class A for 3 year periods. 1995 - 1997 : 119 1998 - 2000 : 142 > Increase 2001 - 2003 : 164 > Increase 2004 - 2006 : 162 > Decrease 2007 - 2009 : 128 > Decrease 2010 - 2012 : 158 > Increase 2013 - 2016 : 69 > Decrease WA State Total Reports for 3 year periods. 1995 - 1997 : 41 1998 - 2000 : 56 > Increase 2001 - 2003 : 70 > Increase 2004 - 2006 : 71 > Increase 2007 - 2009 : 52 > Decrease 2010 - 2012 : 51 > Decrease 2013 - 2016 : 44 > Decrease WA State Class A for 3 year periods. 1995 - 1997 : 21 1998 - 2000 : 15 > Decrease 2001 - 2003 : 32 > Increase 2004 - 2006 : 20 > Decrease 2007 - 2009 : 16 > Decrease 2010 - 2012 : 18 > Increase 2013 - 2016 : 5 > Decrease

If I have from 1 to 4% Neanderthal DNA ... does that not prove that the offspring did reproduce and continued to reproduce carrying the Neanderthal DNA to this generation? They were (or are) Homo neanderthalensis.

I meant that in a legal sense. As per the definition below, a human is any extant member of the genus homo, which would be determined by DNA, biology, anatomy, taxonomy etc. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/human-being If you prove that another member of homo exists, it's human, and has all the rights of a human, yet this one is currently allowed to roam free, trespass, take live stock, potentially hurt people or kidnap. People wouldn't tolerate it from any human. You also can't just call it and treat it like an animal because it's human, and there would be litigious people who would consider it gross discrimination to not give them their rights. So therein lies a problem, it's dangerous for us legally, and dangerous for them because we might choose to eliminate them if they can't behave or if they're ever proven to have taken women or children. There are some humans who would love to be able to get away with what bigfoot gets away with, and we don't have two sets of rights for members of our genus. This is just a gap in our categorization because we've never considered what to do with a population of wooley wildmen other than turn a blind eye to the whole thing. I'm not even going to touch what it would do to religious beliefs connected to human origin beliefs. So yeah, proving bigfoot is a member of homo would be a volatile endeavor.

Todd Standing Finally Exposed? http://bigfootforums.com/index.php/topic/52459-todd-standing-finally-exposed/?hl=standing So this topic which ran to an 8th page ... Many of the posters are liable to be sued? Act so outrageous, that others can't help making fun of you ... then Sue? Perhaps one can make a living at that. Trouble is, the lawyers get the bulk of it.
