Guest Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) What if by the time bigfoot developed the ability to make tools, or got an idea to try it, they didn't need to anymore? If they are always hanging out near and around humans, maybe the only skill they needed to develop was theft. If an ax or something is found way deep in the forest, it's not going to give away a bigfoots location or existence. People will just think a human left it there. You could say it would be much more beneficial for a bigfoot to steal manufactured goods and put them to use, then to start developing crude tools that either suck or give away their existence. So next time your chainsaw is missing, it might be a squatch. jk Edited June 13, 2012 by arizonabigfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlurryMonster Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 You keep saying hunter-gatherer.........so I'll keep telling you that neolithic peoples weren't just hunter gatherers. They were farmers. Stone is NOT found everywhere. At least, not stone suitable for tools. The stone for making stone tools (mainly flint) is found in very specific places, and as such, the stones were mined and traded. The tools were made in specialist centres (here is one very close to me) and traded across vast distances. Please, don't rely on me.........go and do some googling, or visit a museum, or even borrow a book or two from a library. I'm not making this stuff up. I also didn't say for one second that all stone tools were status symbols. They weren't. Mike You don't need to tell me that neolithic people farmed. I've studied this stuff - I know it and I don't need to do any googling or go to a museum for information. Want proof? The "new stone" name doesn't actually come from stone tools, it refers to pottery. See? I know what I'm talking about. I also know all about what stones are used on tool manufacture and trade networks that were used. The point I'm making is that stone is a readily available material that anyone with training can make something out of. No one in their right mind would dispute that. The reason I'm mentioning hunter-gatherers is because it's easier to study them, since some still exist. We can't directly observe a neolithic farming community. My last mention of them didn't actually have very much to do with stone tools anyway; it was about status symbols and how you don't see them until social stratification happens.

southernyahoo Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 There's actually a huge debate as to when humans acquired language, especially full and completely verbal language. Yes, I'm aware of that. The neural motor skills linked to the FOXP2 gene , decreased prognathism, descended larynx, 1 to 1 ratio of oral to pharyngeal regions of the vocal tract, leading to the production of quantal vowels thus enabling encoding of vocal utterances. You can hear all that in the recordings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Transformer, the clothes and boots thing bothers me too, people said the clothes could be a trophy of some sort but I think it might be because we have insane mosquitos and sand flys around here. a jacket or loin clothe Would offer some protection. Before you write back and say we got mosquitos where i live and sasquaches dont wear clothes ill say you have never seen bugs like this!! Every year Mosquitos kill 2 or 3 dogs just to give you an idea. but anyhoo thats just my theory. As for the boots when people say boots they might mean moccosins of some sort. I also thought they might wear actual boots (when possible) to conseal their tracks when snooping around. Again just my theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Got to give Smeja credit. The juvenile Bigfoot picture pretty much represents what he originally described here. The boxer dog muzzle is problematical, but probably no more so than other aspects of the phenomena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) If somone identifies a sasquatch with a high degree of certainty and then decides to harvest it to collect a type specimen I would not fault them. I just don't like the cloak and dagger nonsense that has been going on with this story as it matches so many others that turned out to be nothing. That's the problem with bigfoot. Every time somebody comes out with claims of having the ultimate evidence, It always super secret with just little tid bits of info released but nothing that can be confirmed, Then when pressed for info the natorious NDA's usually come into play or the're afraid someone might figure out their location and try to kill ol'sassy or Everything will be revealed in some kinda media release. IMHO a bunch of smoke and mirrors. Nothing every comes of it or it ends up being a hoax. I would think after the georgia debacle, people would be looking at this stuff a bit more critical. I personally can see alot of similarities between whats going on now and the bigfoot in the freezer.

Guest Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Most people are looking at this stuff a bit more critical. For the most part, people are expecting some type of evidence to be presented. Sure people are saying it's a cool story, but with no solid evidence, that's all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Strick Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 A video interview would be cool. I'd be interested to hear the opinion of those who know a thing or two about body language and the related psychology. I believe it's much easier to tell if someone is truthfull if you can also see them. I know of one high-profile Bigfoot proponent who rejects the Ostman testimony based on his body language in that shaky old clip he did towards the end of his life.

Guest Transformer Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 My husband is/was a highly trained kinesic technique interviewer that also trained other police officers in the technique and if used properly it can be a very important tool. He always said though that it was only as good as the training and the experience of the person using it and that it could never be counted on as 100% accurate as it was only a tool that was used in interviews as a first phase. By itself it is only an indicator of probable deception or honesty and is certainly not a proof of deception or honesty. He says that watching a TV segment or a doing a quick talk with someone is never good enough because you have to establish their normal physical and verbal behavior patterns and note variations from that norm which takes time and patience. You have to understand that the verbal and non-verbal responses go hand in hand and be ready to pick up on the subtle or sometimes big differences that the subject exhibits. (I'm quoting his course training manual now haha!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
