Humans have gotten larger, even over a relatively short period of time, due to improved nutrition. Also, weren't the first human-like relatives relatively small?

I don't have an explanation for them, unless someone is taking their 7 year old with extremely splayed toes to run around barefoot on dirt and rocks during a cold spell. We are not finding any sign of large footprints in this area. It's odd. Anything humans do comes as no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands to reason after 2.5 million years? They are going to be different as well. Both from us and the common ancestor. But we will share many traits as well. Its just not realistic to say that Paranthropus is too small in Africa 2.5 million years ago to be X,Y or Z now. Look at Gigantopethicus, look at the Hobbit. Wide swings in sizes among primates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant is as not surprised humans would allow children with splayed toes to walk around in a cold spell. Perhaps,it could be a small feral human.

Humans, feral or otherwise would need a pretty fair reason to hang around such places? Not saying it isn't a feral Human child but the depth of the prints make no sense if it is. And also, say it is a 7-9 year old. even running, 47 inch steps do not sound normal, especially when "running" toward a slope as dangerous or possibly life threatening as Northwind has described. And don't worry, Patterson-Gimlin, I leave doors open for all kinds of answers and my first go-to isn't Sasquatch. Sasquatch is always in a process of elimination. But then that process needs a good deal of grounded scientific common sense to work properly. And sometimes coming up with a Sasquatch as the only answer, at last for me, is worrisome on more than a few levels.

It’s a possibility they could exist in most of the lower 48. With that said I fully understand that if Bigfoot exists? Not every one of them is gonna have BIG feet. Bigfoot must give birth and grow children just like any species. And for what it’s worth? Going out and finding bare footprints is note worthy in this day and age. It’s far from proof. But hopefully it gives some clues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatFoot Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I have never once been warned about feral humans in my 34 years. Not hunting as a boy or hiking in the West as a grown man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiflier Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Would feral Humans be dressed in animal skins? Or just be naked while living in a hole in the ground. And even feral need mates? How do they survive bars or wolves or mountain lions? The idea of feral Humans has been tossed around here for at a least a couple of years now. Maybe a thread for the topic is due? Edited November 25, 2019 by hiflier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NatFoot Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Survivalists and mountain men are very different than feral humans, IMO. Maybe my definition is wrong though? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiflier Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Yep, and I also think they are androids. But at the very least there must be language? Don't know if Zana ever possessed, or later learned, any language. Edited November 25, 2019 by hiflier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
