I will always be here…as a paying member…whether the shows are being pirated for free on “you tube” or not…it’s a great show though I don’t always agree with the analysis……
…from all the reports that we have seen..it seems that bipedalism is its common form of adult locomotion [standing/running/walking] as opposed to ‘knuckle walking’ which we seem to hear about mainly with the young ones I think.
We are the only living descendant of our common ancestor with apes to have mastered bipedalism…so in that sense they must be close to us somewhere on the family tree.
…and given the fact that it is bipedal, that would account for the development of its cognitive reasoning and most likely “self awareness” on a level only comparable to us… “homo sapiens sapiens”
Ooops! Forgot to add the link:

Hi Six,
I posted a similar link from the Guardian newspaper 4 or 5 days ago.
Your post is definitely pertinent as it advances the scientific method and shows that there are still species out there undiscovered to science.
Maybe one day science will be able to classify sasquatch and add it to the taxonomy of life on earth.
Wow…amazing artistry…you may already be familiar with this person’s work……

Keep up the great work!
sure Chris – point taken
Gumshoguy M – to make that dumb statement it’s clear you have no idea what evolution is….
Great post Elise B – very interesting article…I’m going to save the link to my favorites.
I’m currently reading the book “Neanderthal” by Paul Jordan…very interesting read also….
SillySauce – “Physicists now believe the Universe is a hologram”…..please provide some evidence of peer reviewed academic acceptance of this statement. There have been one or two hypotheses from a MINORITY of scientists in the academic field who put forward the possibility BUT it is completely incorrect to say that “Physicists now believe the Universe is a hologram”.
Laurence Krauss is probably the world’s foremost physicist at this time and he has absolutely NO time for this hypothesis.
Again, the proposition of statements without any hard, scientifically accepted and validated evidence to back them up falls into the bracket of “youtube science”….and we should waste no time with their consideration.
Chris422 – Just for point of clarification from one of your earlier posts. Evolutionary biology is a hugely active field of biological research. Many scientists study it on a day basis and none of them involved in that field, as far as I know, study the origin of life on earth. Evolution is something that is still going on and can be studied today.
The origin of life is a separate field in science from evolutionary biology and could have happened under conditions where evolution by natural selection did not occur.
The earth’s atmosphere in the earliest days of life on earth was very different from the chemical conditions that exist today.
The Miller-Urey experiment, the reproduction of a few of the basic building blocks [amino acids] required for life on earth] is the scientific field of abiogenisis, not evolutionary biology.
Roger S – thanks for the clarification..I stand corrected
Chris422 – Yes, I agree. A lot of what we are doing here is definitely speculation, but for me, bringing science to the table is what will help us to finally unravel the mystery of these animals and add them to the taxanoma of life on earth.
Shannon D – I do understand what you are saying [I can think of so called scientists who were bought off by the tobacco industry in the 1950’s and 1960’s to quash evidence linking the smoking of tobacco to lung cancer] BUT even with all of that I still believe that the scientific methodology of experimentation, testing, peer review etc is our best way forward in not just understanding these creatures, but the whole of the natural world. Science is definitely NOT without its faults but the methodology advanced finds equilibrium even with the shortfalls that you have pointed out.
SillySauce – Science is what has created the modern world with all its wonderful achievements. We wouldn’t be able to even have this conversation without the scientific discoveries related to computer technology in the latter half of the 20th century.
Science always advances, based upon where the evidence leads it..that is what makes it so dynamic..as opposed to a mere ‘belief’ in something without any evidential evidence to back up that belief.
To me a mere belief in something, without any evidence, is akin to ‘faith’ i’e religion.
Diana M – I think Roger was alluding to the different ‘types’ of sasquatch that have been reported i.e the “patty” type, the neanderthal type and the dogman type. We’ve heard reports of all types being seen on these shows.
I could be wrong, Roger, I stand to be corrected if you meant something else.
