So chimp is definitely distantly related, but Neanderthal and my samples (with one mutation each) are closely related to the modern reference sequence. Can you tell in what areas the differences are?
guyzonthropus Posted December 1 Author Posted December 1 I still hold that sasquatch represent an amalgam of pre-sapiens hominid that made it over the Bering straight in time to get caught up in the selective factors that brought about the north American megafauna, and through their hominid cognition used both cooperative behaviors and a generalists omnivorous diet to survive first the mega predators and then the Younger-Dryas extinction event. Although I suppose there could be some sapiens mixed in. "Hey, dja see that cute little hairless dwarf that just crossed the land bridge? "

What era would that have been? How long ago?

guyzonthropus Posted December 3 Author Posted December 3 I would think mid to late Pleistocene, though I'm not sure at what point those specific selective factors would have began to have a diminished impact. 1
