Does The Existence of Sasquatch (aka Bigfoot), Prove That We Evolved From An Ape Like Creature?

Question

Do you think Sasquatch just might provide insight as to what our ancestors might have looked like?

Answer 1

It does indeed provide evidence that there are other apelike creatures roaming the planet and therefore more likely that there are closely related forms to us.  I think there is plenty of evidence that we evolved from apes.  We share all of their bones that are only moderately modified and nearly all their DNA as well. We don't know what bigfoot is.  It might be Gigantopithecus but then again, most people depict giganto as a knucklewalker or at least not bipedal.  There are large bipedal hominids such as Bodo and Homo erectus meganthropus that seem to be just as likely ancestors to bigfoot.

Answer 2

Yes.

Answer 3

Gigantopithecus, which became extinct 300,000 years ago, in China, is the closest resemblance to a "Bigfoot"...

However, no recent evidence has been found to prove this mythical legend!

Answer 4

First, Sasquatch doesn't exist.

Second, even if it did, no, it wouldn't constitute proof.

Third, we already have the proof that we evolved from other apes.

Answer 5

Paleontologists probably assume to much humanlike qualities in hominids that are over 2 million years removed.  The reason they are probably less human is the tendency to assign any tools to whatever hominid is present.  It makes their dig more valuable so it means funding to them.  Afarensis had a brain comparable to chimps but somehow all hominids that branched down different lineages from it are assumed to be heading down the same evolutionary path and they are all becoming more human.  That just doesn't make sense.  A good example of assigning tools is how the Hobbit, Homo floresiensis, was given spears and complex tools beyond erectus when they know modern humans had been in the area.  If bigfoot were found to be 2.5 million years removed it would give a much greater understanding of other hominids rather than using humans as the only model.

Answer 6

Non sequitur

Answer 7

Absolutely not. Even if Bigfoot does exist, which I neither believe nor disbelieve, all that proves is that there is just one more creature out there that we have yet to discover and classify. If it is just a race of humans, then we should be inter-fertile. Not that I'd like to marry one; hairy women are a big turn-off for me.

Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) are, well, big. They are also strong, fast, and tough. If evolution were true, us puny little humans would be taken out of the gene pool. Also, if we found one and examined it, we would find out that its body is extremely complex.

Answer 8

No, not at all. The Sasquatch is probably from another link, just like we were from our early ancestors. The Sasquatch may have come from the same line but, broke of at an earlier time and found it's own notch in our social ladder.

       We did evolve along the same lines as the Chimpanzee while we have 46 chromosomes, not the ape like most think.

Answer 9

You know , if those darn cavemen would of just left the bears alone and not invited them to dinner we wouldn't be talking about this .

Answer 10

Believing in Sasquatch does prove one thing:

Mankind is prone, when faced with things it does not understand, to jump to unsupportable conclusions and create make believe evidence in order to support its miss assumptions.

This practice is an example of the miss use and therefore,wasting of an opportunity granted by the ability of an human organ as amazing has the modern brain.

There is evidence that Sasquatch lived in the "Garden of Eden" with Adam and his squeeze. I understand that Adam had really large feet and left tell-tale footprints in the Mesopotamian snow.

Answer 11

If Sasquatch existed then maybe.  It would probably have a lot of characteristics that scientists could use to strenghten the theory of evolution given its human type appearance.  However, there is no proof that sasquatch exists.  There are people that believe that it exists but there is no proof to back that up.
