Physical Evidence
Introduction
|
One of the most often used arguments skeptics use is "Where are the bones? How come no one has found a dead body? Where is the physical evidence?" This becomes a very week argument when you see the reality of the situation. Most of our population is congested in large cities wich ocupy very little of the total land mass. Our entire world population could fit in a mega city smaller than the state of Texas. The Pacific Northwest offers the largest area of unihabited and unexplored land in North America.
The Pacific Northwest here, to give you an example of it’s size and it’s ability to hide things hides 73 aircraft lost from Northern California to Alaska since World War 2! That’s an official FAA figure, it’s not just a myth, it’s not just a newspaper story.
Probably the most commonly asked question, if the Sasquatch is real why don’t we find their bones? Well if bears are real, then why don’t we find their bones? I’ve talked to hunters, many game guides, conservation people, ecology students and asked them how many remains of dead bears have you found that died a natural death? Over 20 years of inquiry my grand total of naturally dead bear bones found in zero!! Now the best population estimate guess we can make is there is at least 100 bears out there for every one Bigfoot and we haven’t found the first bear yet. We would very much like to find the remains of a naturally dead Sasquatch, but chance is just simply so remote it’s not even serious to even think about it.
You mean people have lived here 50 years longer than me and never seen a dead cougar, never seen a bear, when something dies, it’s eaten by other animals, mostly by bears, by coyotes, by ravens and when you get down to horns, teeth and toenails, those are eaten by porcupines. It’s the perfect disposal system, so one of these thing sides, it’s quite possibly eaten immediately by other animals. There is also the possibility they
If bigfoot turns out to be Gigantopithecus then there has been good physical evidence in the form of bones all a long. One other thing to consider is that there is no fosil record of any of the great apes. Nore has anyone ever found any of their bones in the wild. |
Hair

By far the most abundant form of physical evidence is hair samples. The problem with this form of evidence is identifing it as Bigfoot hair. Some studies have shown it to be simular to human or ape hair but not quite. The difinitive study would be DNA analysis. This has been attempted but insufient DNA could be extracted from the hair. The following is the interim statement from a DNA analysis.
After lengthy deliberation, we (W. H. Fahrenbach, J. A. Poe, and P. Fuerst), co-authors of the intended article on the Eastern Washington hair found in August, 1995, have decided to withhold submission of the manuscript of the analysis until more DNA from tissue, preferably with attached hair, is obtained. Our studies have not yielded a sequenced mitochondrial gene fragment to determine the phylogenetic affiliation of the creature. The ambiguous results at the present time can, on the one hand, generate misplaced enthusiasm and be quoted as "proof", or, on the other hand, can be used by the opposite camp to criticize and denigrate the results unfairly. One study done in China on Yerin (The Chinese Bigfoot) Hair, used a sophisticated process to determine the amount of trace elements in the hair. Every species of mammal has a unique ratio of different amounts of trace elements in their hair, such as iron, magnesium, copper, etc. The results showed that this hair did indeed have a unique ratio of elements, unlike any known animal. The Chinese government take this and other evidence much more seriously than the U.S. or Canadian government does. |
