    Okay, this guy calling himself Bob Gymlan rubs me the wrong way. What??

    This thing is full of information, unfortunately. First 2.5 minutes: The ice floating has nothing to do with sea level. Bison are not the ancestors of cattle. Aurochs are, for one. The cave painting is an auroch, likely. The Americas were not empty or underutilized until Old World animals arrive. There is no “surplus of land.” Megafauna evolved for complex reasons, including metabolic rate of mammals, the energetic cost of obtaining prey, and the maximum estimated rate coefficient of prey intake, among other factors.

    Well illustrated commentary and interesting insight into mega-fauna (large animals). Although I wonder about the small ape that became large here, considering it could be a relict species of man and there are large ones on the Eurasian continent as well. But it would seem the largest ones are in North America, with reported extremes of 15 feet or more. So, maybe they came to North America and like so many of the now extinct mega species that came here, they also grew larger. The video sites early man and his weapons for ending mega creatures but suggests sasquatch’s ability to hide spared that mega creature from extinction.

    Ok since u guys already tore up the guy
    I’m not gonna hate at all and give him much props cause his main theory about them needing to hide does make a whole lot of sense it’s hard to argue that even though someone will lol

    Nobody said a negative word except yours truly. Everyone is usually very polite and most will tell people what the people want to hear. I do that sometimes, but I also feel like somebody has to point out flaws when they become many and obvious to me.

    I have a very wide range of background knowledge from reading a great deal for half a century. I have a degree with a double major and am considered by others to be smart–but I really think it’s the background knowledge that fools them. Anyway, I often see mistakes and problems where others might not. I have good attention to detail (usually) and try to be concise.

    I would think Wes would want someone to let him know if a source is not what they pretend to be, gives misinformation, or otherwise might discredit him and the site. Wes, you have my email and if you want me to just stick a sock in it, you can let me know and I will understand.

    When someone voices an opinion, based on truth, knowledge, fact, and for that matter, common sense, it is Not “hate” speak. When did we become a bunch of “haters” for thinking and expressing, conversing and differing from another? I’m tired of people thinking free speech is hate speech. Has anyone heard of independent thinking? How about learning? I agree with Elise.

    The worst theory in the world, for those who still don’t understand what a THEORY is ..it’s only a guess , and with the extraordinary claim of evolution, extraordinary proof is needed , and there is absolutely no proof of animals transforming into a complete different animal, … And if you can understand that primates that live in the north would never evolve into a creature with no hair on its body, in the extreme cold, for that would be the opposite of evolution.
    … Lol .. People ate retarded to believe in a corrupted textbook , wrote by the most deceiving country in history…. Qoute from Hitler ” let me control the text books and what children accept as truth when there in there youth, and never will they question it’s validity , and I will run the state”
