Intro
The world is full of liars but when it comes to Bigfoot they just might be telling the truth. Since 1811 there have been reports of large, hairy, ape-like creatures lurking in North West America. No one has ever found a corps or even a skeleton of Bigfoot, yet some still believe he is out there. Some are skeptical about the evidence supporting Bigfoot but others absolutely believe in this bizarre creature. The mystery of Bigfoot may never be solved, but there will continue to be evidence supporting this miraculous creature. One great piece of evidence watched, the 1967 Patterson film, in this film Robert Patterson caught this shaggy creature on camera. People have found footprints from Bigfoot and made plasters of these large

Jimmy Chilcutt, a police fingerprint expert, saw Meldrum on TV and thought he would try to help. Jimmy Chilcutt examined two particular casts, the first was cast in 1967 in Northern California. He noticed that the ridges, on this twelve-inch plaster, glided up and down the side of the cast, unlike humans or animals, whose ridges run across or from side to side of the foot. In the documentary, “On the Trail of Bigfoot”, Chilcutt described what he was thinking when he found the strange ridges, “Looking at this you could tell this was a species in of itself, something new that we hadn't studied before.” The second was cast in 1987 in Washington state. This cast had the exact same ridges going up and down the side of the cast. The chance that these footprints were made by the same person is very slim. They would have to have created a large shoe with amazing details and curves to make it match the supposable size of Bigfoot. Some say that the footprints are a hoax, but others think that they are completely real. There have been many Bigfoot plasters but the most significant may be these two. These ridges are a tremendous evidence that Bigfoot has been walking all over north-west

    It often amazes me that people have a difficult time with the concept that Bigfoot is a human hybrid. You honestly expect a humanoid creature that is over seven feet tall, covered in hair, that has abilities that are essentially supernatural, that possesses superhuman strength, that can live so close to civilization, yet remain almost completely hidden from man, and that possesses an extremely high intellect to have “normal” DNA!? I would expect it to have strange and unexplainable DNA consistent with the findings of the Sasquatch Genome Study. The following statements will disturb many in the “Bigfoot Research Community” and the general public at large.…

    Most Native American tribes do not want burial remains to be studied or even removed from their location. The archaeologists and other scientists want to study the remains to fill the holes in history. However, the wishes of affiliated tribes should not be ignored. During the early 1980s, “…the scientific importance of excavating and retaining human bones outweighed any concerns of minority groups,” (Pearson, 2008). In fact, some archaeologists did not understand why the tribes were offended and not thankful for the scientific analysis.…

    Those being a finger bone, two teeth, and a toe bone. Although these bones do give us some clues to their physical appearance, and even the gender of the extinct Denisovan. The finger bone, for example is strangely large and broad and belonged to a female, allowing us to infer the Denisovans were possibly a similar physical type compared to Neanderthals. The tooth, however has not provided researchers with any new discoveries on its morphological characteristics, other than having similarities to Homo erectus teeth (Reich, Genetic). However the last finding of the toe bone has revealed through extensive testing that Homo sapiens sapiens did in fact interbreed with Denisovans and have hybrid offspring (Zimmer, toe).…
