Guest Twilight Fan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 When Koko's pet kitten died she was able to express her sadness... Her favorite food for a while was what she would sign as a "meat sandwich" I recall (her sign for a hamburger).. Not that it matters much but this is very untrue. Gorillas are vegetarians and while you're correct that Koko loves sandwiches, she never ate a hamburger. She and Michael (her male companion, when he was alive) would sign: "NUT sandwich" meaning they wanted a PEANUT-butter sanwich to eat. Sometimes with jelly.

Guest TexasTracker Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Sorry to muddle in the details, it's been more than a few years, but surely you get my point here.?? Just because we do not understand what whales/dolphins (insert 20 other animals here) are saying to each other, does not mean they do not have language. I'll bow out of this conversation at this point.... there is no moving forward on this... Sorry to hijack the thread... No, I do not think BF is a hairy human (HSS)...

Guest Kronprinz Adam Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Hi everyone!!! Should we reformulate the post title as "Is Bigfoot a [hairy] Homo-sapiens?" I think there is a lot of questions here. I personally think Bigfoot is a creature which is similar to the early stages of human evolution...between apemen and cavemen!!! I can imagine that our ancestors had a hard time hunting and dealing with the elements and protecting themselves on caves and so on...Bigfoot seems to be in a similar stage...but they have their sheer strenght as an advantage.So they seem to survive quite welll.. Humans solved the problem in a different way, developing tools, using fire, living in clans or tribes and dividing the tasks among every member of the tribe. Little by little, humans developed speech, culture, art...and war. A big difference...humans are diurnal. Bigfoot, according to the reports and sightings, seems to be nocturnal. For sure they communicate (grunts, howling, tree knocking, gestures), but we do not know if they have some kind of speech. We also do not know if they have developed a rudimentary culture...(for example, archeological findings show that Neanderthals did have a culture)...Were Neanderthal humans? They weren't exactly Homo sapiens, but they seem to be an intelligent creature very close to us... Is Bigfoot intelligent? It seems to be intelligent, even curious...but we do not know how they organize their thoughts...we do not know their true intentions. Sometimes they are seen as forest creatures, taking care of their families...and some other times they seem to be apex predators..but their intelligence and way of thinking seems to be effective to survive in the forest environment, to be efficient hunters and to avoid humans most of the time!!! Best regards. K. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Could be. The creature portrayed in that photo looks very much like the creatures that I have seen. There was nothing human-like in their mannerisms. They acted and ran off just like a big monkey. Edited June 23, 2012 by Splash7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipedalist Posted June 23, 2012 BFF Patron Share Posted June 23, 2012 I wonder if some in the Ketchum camp that early assisted with the copyright office language may have been thinking closer along these lines though (at least at the time of the filing)..... though facial hair and ear are not patterned as well on this rendition.

Guest Twilight Fan Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks for all of your answers so far, guys Another thing I wonder about is...whether Bigfoot is a hairy human, an ape-like creature or something else...does it have culture & customs? Might it act like our ancient ancestors, the cavemen? Or Native Americans by living off the land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowiie Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If you ever have the opportunity of seeeing one of these animals in the flesh, you question will be answered. Not human Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Absolutely not human in any way. That is not to say that animals like Gorillas can not be very human like in their expressions, mannerisms, etc. But a gorilla is NOT human either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiefoot Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 If hybridization has occured, then it would follow that individuals or groups could fall at differing points between Hss and Sasquatch. Some would be more human than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you already, or would you be willing to describe in as much detail as possible, under the sighting conditions at the time, what you saw? Would you be willing to reveal the quarter of the state in which the animal was seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Twilight Fan Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Everyone seems quick to say that NO, sas is not human. But what about the reports and witnesses who say they couldn't shoot the thing because what they saw looked like a furry man? Not an ape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TexasTracker Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Gotta stayed open minded to the possibility of more than a single species as well... I think we may hear data supporting this in the future (publish date on terminal hold).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
