I Know I'm Beating A Dead Horse But Bigfoot Deserves Better

I wrote a post about the 'bones' argument a couple months ago on substack. There's a field of study called 'comparative thanatology' that has some application here -- its the study of how different species deal with the death of members of their group, flock, pod, herd, colony, etc. You can find it here if interested: https://thesocialbigfoot.substack.com/p/where-are-all-the-bones    

And there is also the topography of the area. Very few fossils of the Chimpanzee.

There wasn't geographic isolation from chimps when humans diverted? I would think speciation would have occurred between forest dwellers and those on the periphery of the plains/savannah, though I suppose there could still be contact between the two groups. Perhaps we were shunned by the chimps once we started our transition to bipedalism "oh they think they're just so upright and tall and always going on about their precision grip! Big deal!"

I was addressing why we may not find Bigfoot bones. I have only found one bear skeleton in my life. 
 

Chimp fossils are also not prevalent because of moist jungle conditions. Which would also apply to early hominid fossils, until they got to arid areas, like the rift valley.
