Month: March 2021

The always amazing Don Jeffrey Meldrum posted a link to a interesting brains article on his Facebook page.

“Scientists discover why the human brain is so big” from Theguardian.com

What interests me, and others I presume, in this article is the statement that “Molecular switch makes human organ three times larger than great apes’, study finds”.

So what if a very large great ape like the Gigantopithecus had this molecular switch turned on? What if by chance this large ape was lucky enough, just like us, to have this switch?

Well, you’d have a Bigfoot I think. And why isn’t this possible? It’s a perfect explanation of Bigfoot.

Another interesting statement: “Tinker with the switch and the human brain loses its growth advantage, while the great ape brain can be made to grow more like a human’s.”

So is it reasonable to think that someone, somewhere hasn’t already tinkered? Or maybe it was just Mother Nature who flipped his switch? I mean, some how the human’s switch was flipped.

OK, maybe I’m flipped. But it’s something worth thinking about.

For this week’s post I just have a lot of questions. These have come up during recent research and I thought I’d list them out. There are so many things we don’t know about Bigfoot but what triggered these questions are changes in descriptions or portrayals over past years. I’d love to hear any feedback.

• Inbreeding is causing extra or less toes?
• Is breeding with human women introducing an arch to the foot prints? Causing them to be smaller?
• Opposable thumbs or not?
• Does the hair color turn white with age?
• Does Bigfoot hibernate?
• Why underhand throws and not overhand? Too much shoulder muscle?
• Grunting only communication? What about simple sign language?
• Grooming? Bathing? Why the smell? Toilet paper? 🙂
• Carnivore or Vegetarian?
• Night vision or not?
• Tiny ears means poor hearing?
• Plural: Bigfeet or Bigfoots?

Lots of questions and I really would like some feedback from you all. Thoughts?

A book I use for so much inspiration and data is by my Bigfoot Researcher hero John Green:

The Best of Sasquatch Bigfoot from Amazon.com

I have to call out credit right away because I used data directly from the book to build a graph of when during the year Bigfoot sightings seem to occur most often.

This is from John’s database at the time, the blue bars are number of sightings he recorded for that month over the years. July and Aug make sense as people are out in the bush the most in the summer and would have more encounters. But does it really make sense? What about the seasonal workers? What about the fact the in the Pacific Northwest we have a temperate climate? Or is this because more people are out then or cause of him? Another thing John mentions is that where there is greater than 20 inches of rain per year, Bigfoot is there. The temperate climate I mentioned fits with that.

And what’s with that spike in October? Halloween? And April? April Fool’s Day? May makes sense, cause it’s so dam wet around here in May.

So I haven’t really reached any conclusions here, just more questions. I’ll just focus my efforts on the Summer and Fall and see what I find.

About 250km north east of here was a reported Bigfoot print last month. Here’s a quote from the new article: https://www.castanet.net/news/Kelowna/326085/Kelowna-man-claims-to-have-found-large-footprint-on-his-property

“Roy Watson lives on June Springs Rd. in East Kelowna and recently posted a photo of a six-inch wide footprint.”

Look at the photo above that he took. Does that look like it’s six inches wide? The foot print itself is maybe 5 inches wide at best. And if you use that ruler the length is maybe 12 inches. That makes it a shoe size 14 or 15. Yet the expert “Brian Wells” who studied it claims the print is between a size 17-20 men’s shoe size. “It was a very large print.”

After some researching on Google I can find nothing of expert “Brian Wells”.

It’s a bare foot human print in my opinion. But I’m sure these people catch very large fish as well.
