I have a hard time following some of what you write, referencing articles that there is no link to. Maybe the flexing of the foot is a little further back than the ball, but humans don’t leave pressure ridges in their footprints, and I don’t see the disparity you claim to see with the ridges in the Laetoli footprints.
I asked the Gemini AI about Dr. Meldrum connecting sasquatch to Australopithecus, and this is what it responded with:
The Laetoli Footprint Connection
Meldrum published extensive comparative research contrasting the 3.6-million-year-old Laetoli footprint trails in Tanzania with modern human footprints and Sasquatch casts.“The Midtarsal Break: The volcanic ash tracks at Laetoli show a specific type of bipedalism that features a flexible midfoot (a midtarsal break) and a prominent midfoot pressure ridge.
The Bigfoot Match: Because modern humans possess a stiff, fixed longitudinal arch, they do not leave these marks. However, the exact same flexible, flat-footed mechanics are consistently found in the highest-quality Sasquatch footprint casts. This strongly signaled to Meldrum that Sasquatch shares a lineage with the hominins that walked through the Laetoli ash”Australia must be a better place than where they came from or they wouldn’t be there. A lot of the so called Western countries offer all kinds of government subsidies that they don’t get where they came from. Someone today told me how California gave driver’s license to illegals, and million + of them are getting government assistance and medicare.
Seamus, Sorry, but that’s not how it works. There is no “midtarsal joint” causing the raised area in hominins. Midtarsal flexing in primates is different from the midtarsal joint. Dr. Meldrum has corrected people on referring to a midtarsal joint causing the raised area. It’s called a midtarsal flex or midtarsal break in hominins and non hominin primates. Many primates can actually grasp things with their feet. The foot bones flex. When a sasquatch walks it lifts the heal first, leaving the ball of the foot on the ground which pushes back soil or mud causing a raised area in the center of the footprint.
I’ve made casts of sasquatch footprints myself.
looking at the actual photo (not the spectrograph), the midtarsal ridge looks typical to me.
Sasquatches have a very unique (different) motion of their legs when walking, and how or why it evolved that way is hard to figure. It’s like all the theories on why hominins became bipedal, like to see above the tall grass, or the aquatic theory of spending a lot of time in water resulted in bipedalism.
I don’t believe it’s possible to know where all these various species of hominin dwelt, whether mostly grasslands or what, because only certain environments preserve fossils, and certainly not forested or wet areas where even bone decays.
That’s a tough one Steven B. Mutilation vs correcting a disorder.
But I agree we should have compassion on those who are afflicted with mental disorders, who are “abused” with gender affirming care, encouraging the transition.
“In only know that Australopithicenes had a relatively small brain size, compared to body mass. I have always assumed that sasquatch has a higher brain volume, comparatively…”
Australopithicene was 3.5 million years ago. Dr. Meldrum said sasquatch was likely an “offshoot” of that species (a later species from that linage). Back then Homo species didn’t have the brain volume either. It’s now known that many different early species of man were interbreeding, and sasquatch has Homo in it. But the foot morphology of Australopithicene: proportionately wider heel, flat feet, midtarsal flex, mimic modern sasquatch footprints, very different from Homo sapiens.
Here’s the Laetoli footprints laid down in volcanic ash 3.7 million years ago. See the raised ridge in the center from the midtarsal flexing of the foot, as opposed to our rigid feet. It’s a near in-line trackway too, not as staggered as our trackways. Sasquatch’s in-line isn’t perfectly in-line.
Here’s the sasquatch footprints I mentioned in my last reply that Paul Graves found in snow. You can see his staggered footprints next to them. The stride of these footprints were as far as six feet apart with 21 inch long footprints. It was a big boy. If you look carefully the in-line prints are not perfectly in line, but close.
Sasquatch heads are larger than ours, but their heads are comparatively small for their body mass.
All I can say is he must have seen more with his natural eyes than I can see looking at the video.
“The “alien” idea, like the “paranormal” idea, fails to make sense, to me, in this way: if these creatures are so unnatural to Planet Earth, then why do they fit so comfortably within the evolutionary ladder of Planet Earth?”
Seamus, I concur. I don’t get it.
“Sasquatch, as described (except for disappearing footprints, and such) fits comfortably within the genus Homo. . . .”
Bigfoot Researcher Paul Graves put to rest the “disappearing footprints,” in my opinion, applied to footprints in snow suddenly ending. He followed one of their in-line trackways for a long distance in snow, but when it reached the tree line the footprints disappeared. But he noticed all the trees had snow on them except a trek where the sasquatch went through the wooded area, and he discovered that it was stepping at the base of trees and shaking the snow off of the trees to cover it’s tracks.
As he followed the snowless trees corridor he later picked up its tracks again where it quit shaking the snow off of trees.
One problem with people assigning paranormal explanations to sasquatch is they overlook their ability to think & reason ways to hide their presence. They are also known to destroy tracks left in soil too. They are more conscious of things than many give them credit for. And as I’ve gone into detail in other posts, I believe some can use infrasound, projecting infrasonic trickery on the brain, that can cause short term memory loss, hallucinations (like seeing lights), etc.
As far as them being a species of Homo, Dr. Meldrum believes sasquatches are an offshoot of Australopithicene, the species just before Homo (although some think they are the first Homo since they overlap the earliest Homo). Dr. Meldrum notes that footprints left in volcanic ash by Australopithicene closely resemble modern sasquatch footprints that are much different than ours, even producing a midtarsal ridge.
Of course Dr. Ketchum found they have interbred with female Homo sapiens, and are a hybrid species, as you note. Dr. Ketchum has also stated that natural selection would breed out less favorable Homo sapiens physical characteristics.
As I’m looking at articles on the new Documentary “Capturing Bigfoot,” which debunks the Patterson/Gimlin film as a hoax, all the articles I see make the false statement that the alleged rehearsal film was shot in 1966, before the P/G Film in 1967. None of these articles, nor the documentary, state that the 1966 date stamped on the film is the manufacture date of the film, not when it was recorded on; it’s unknown when the film was recorded on, which could be a re-enactment for a documentary sometime after the P/G film was made.
This goes to show how people can be hoodwinked by one-sided, false claims. The makers of the documentary are propagating a lie.
I believe the rise in transgender is driven by leftwing politics convincing people of a lie, brain washing during the early years of life.
During the 50 minute mark of the video it talks about ideological indoctrination by activist as opposed to genetics (real science). Then during the 56 minute to one hour + it talks about puberty blockers to help their social transition, which the video correctly mentions a long list of serious health risks involved in altering biologically healthy children who have a psychological condition that up to 95% will grow out of if allowed to.
During the 1 hour 15 minute mark it says 41% of transgenders will attempt suicide, and people who had sex reassignment surgery were 19 times more likely to die of suicide than the general population.
One: human beings “imprint” sexually, males often imprint on the gender of their first sexual experience, females on the opposite gender. So, males who are sexually abused as boys by men may end up “imprinted” sexually on men…Now, that is my wild theory, totally unsupported except for anecdotal evidence from gay men I have known.
Seamus, I’ve already noted in a recent reply that a major cause of homosexuality is being introduced to that lifestyle by someone older when you’re a child. One stat I read said they are 4 times more likely to develop that lifestyle. So, your anecdotal evidence is supported by science. Various personality disorders can trace their development due to certain environmental factors during childhood, like a strict, overbearing parent can lead to passive/aggressive. Although two siblings can be subjected to the exact same environment, but only one develops the disorder. So, genetic dispositions can factor in.
“This is called “the compulsion to repeat”, and it is, theoretically, the force that leads people to “act out” their abuse when they are relatively unconscious of it. It is the reason that kids whose fathers yelled at them yell at their own kids.”
Yes, parents who themselves had abusive parents tend to abuse their children.
That’s an interesting thought that certain chemicals of our modern society might interfere with hormones at key junctures of development. Although I remember reading a long time ago that homosexuality is not the result of a hormone imbalance.
A few years back I saw a stat saying that more youth today claim something other than heterosexual than all previous generations combined, and I chalk that up to school systems who have been infiltrated by the liberal/homosexual agenda, which under the guise of teaching tolerance teach advocacy, telling impressionable small children that it’s perfectly normal and acceptable to be gender fluid, that they might prefer to marry those of the same gender or even identify as a different gender. They are confusing small children with that stuff, even sometimes aiding transitioning without the parent’s knowledge. I believe this is kindred to a child being sexually abused by someone older and developing that lifestyle.
CJM, I watched the first ten minutes of that video, and the guy mostly talked about himself and didn’t get anywhere else. Is there a part of the video that you’re focused on, and what is it that is astounding?
Steven B, there’s a third area to consider — stupidity. We all do stupid things at times, but some people’s reasoning is just really defunct, especially those who are damaging children, encouraging/promoting gender dysphoria, and even worse by supporting hormone supplements and gender altering surgeries. Taking these hormones alone during puberty causes irreversible damage, including temporary or even permanent infertility and a host of other ill health effects.
The human brain continues to develop cognitively into the early 30’s. Youth tend to be more liberal, thinking more ideologically, but become more conservative (think realistically) as they mature. I think extreme liberals must be cognitively immature.
Steven B, this comment by Charlie Kirk goes along with our discussion:
So then, would you call this mental illness?
