Guest Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) It's still hard to imagine for me that the PNW has only been populated by people other than First Nation native American's for 160 years or so. That's just a few generations when you sit down and think on it. How many people were estimated to have lived here before then, anyone know? And I don't know the answer to that, Aaron. How many diseases can we share with chimps and gorillas? In the baby gorilla vids I've been watching on Youtube (god, they are CUTE), the volunteers/zoo personnel wear masks.

Guest Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 All of the apes are susceptible to human borne pathogens due to our great similarity in immune functions and genetics. Bigfoot is likely very susceptible to many human diseases.
Guest Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Yah, and I think it's fairly well established that humans are susceptible to ape pathogens, so hope they're not harboring a an AIDS or an Ebola, even them having just a flu variant would probably be bad.
