But, then, a human relative and/or hybrid might also do that. I don't believe that feral Homo sapiens fully explain the phenomenon, but I do claim that it almost certainly explains some reports and is part of the overall explanation. The Zana story clearly "proves" that "scientifically". Humans evolved from other hominins in Africa several million years ago. Although some scientists equate humans with all members of the genus Homo, in common usage it generally refers to Homo sapiens, the only extant member. Homo sapiens emerged around 300,000 years ago and migrated out of Africa, gradually replacing local populations of archaic humans. Early humans were hunter-gatherers, before the invention of agriculture and domestication of animals led to permanent settlement in the Fertile Crescent and other cradles of civilization. We Homo sapiens emerged 300,000 years ago and we replaced archaic humans. I suppose the Neanderthals are the archaic humans and bigfoot is probably some kind of advanced primate and not human. Bigfoot is short of being an archaic human but seems to be highly intelligent for avoiding capture for this long? Does bigfoot have a spoken language?

xspider1 Posted 15 minutes ago Posted 15 minutes ago These recent posts got me to wondering. As an analogy: Suppose a UFO landed and weird beings were seen emerging from the craft (could happen). Suppose then that they set-up camp and proceeded to explore Earth, basically minding their own business. Would the prudent thing to do be A.) immediately try to kill them so that Science can prove that extra-terrestrial beings are visiting Earth?, or B.) At least attempt to contain them (alive) and make contact? The correct response seems obvious to me (B.) We could be prepared to attack if necessary although attacking might not work out so good, proactively or, reactively. As with Bigfoot, we could end up with a much better understanding of what they are and perhaps what benefits to us they might provide. We could at least try to take the high-road, no?
