Fossils-Wikipedia:
Because of the specialized and rare circumstances required for a biological structure to fossilize, only a small percentage of life forms can be expected to be represented in discoveries, and each discovery represent only a snapshot of the process of evolution.
Do you see where I am going with this post?
Fossils are rare and not a true indicator of all the species that have lived on earth for millions of years. They are only a snapshot of what was living millions or even thousands of years ago. To expect that only the few fossils found are the only living things to live on earth is not a true indication of the diversity of our earth. Just look at the diversity and how many different species we now have should tell you that our world is more dynamic than what many think. Even when you factor into the equation of species off shooting from a common ancestor should still point to a much more diversified earth. We do know that many people have Neanderthal ancestry through DNA findings. They have also have said that Homo Erectus and Homo Habilis and other are in our DNA. The scientists are finding that the Homo Sapien (modern & us) interbred with other hominids. As we learn more about DNA, it will show a clearer picture of our ancestry than fossils.
The first thing that popped in my mind was that these hominids were around when there was Homo Sapiens (us).
Have you looked at the renderings of these early hominids?

- Fossils species are fossils found that fossilized millions of years ago and thought to be extinct but found to be a species alive and living on earth. An example of this is the coelacanths which is a fish.
- Mythical species that have been reported by natives for hundreds of years to be discovered as a true species. Three species that are examples of this are the giant squid, mountain gorilla and the Bili ape.
- Another mythical creature was the little people of the south Pacific Ocean. There have been fossils found that they now call the hobbit.

Have you read about their physical characteristics?
- Protruding jaw
- No chin
- Thick brow
- Some found with sagittal crest
- Robust frame
- Short legs
- Long arms
How is Bigfoot described by people who had seen one?
- Protruding jaw
- Thick brow
- Some with pointed head
- No neck
- Robust frame
- Long arms
I think we need to look into the possibility that we have a primitive hominid that had not interbred with humans or on a limited scale still living on earth as a distinct species. Many of the ape-like characteristics and human characteristics have been reported about Bigfoot by many people may point to a modern version of Homo Erectus or another early hominid . For hundreds of years Native Americans and First Nations talked about a tribe of people that was a person but a different person. Maybe it is time for us to look at the possibility that we have other hominids besides Homo Sapiens living in our woods and forest here in North America.
