It has been widely known within the Bigfoot research community that for several years Dr. Melba S. Ketchum (a veterinarian from Texas) and her firm DNA Diagnostics has been conducting a study to find Bigfoot DNA from various samples collected by witnesses and other researchers. The Daily Mail reported on November 28th that results from this study reveal that Bigfoot is a human hybrid descended from human females that mated with an unknown and likely extinct hominid species.
The essence of her claim is that 'Sasquatch mtDNA is identical to Homo Sapien Sapiens'. If the samples aren't contaminated (and I'll go out on a limb here and say these guys probably know what they are doing,) this means that a half-human hybrid species could have been created any number of ways. However, here is my current theory:
In the prehistoric world, having children (especially sons) meant your chances for survival were greater once they reached a certain level of maturity. They can hunt and defend the family thus ensuring a long life for parents and clan members. Now if your sons are 9 feet tall, built like linebackers and can survive the harsh climate extremes of the previous last ice age, then chances for survival are even greater. After all, homo sapien children require a great deal of care and warmth to survive the first years following birth and infant mortality was high throughout prehistory. Humans are among the most helpless of all mammals while in our infant stage. However, if overlooking a few undesirable traits in your mate meant your offspring would survive and your own safety were guaranteed, it makes sense why some prehistoric women might start feeling a little squatchy. We've all seen attractive men and women select otherwise physically undesirable mates for economic security right? My general thesis is that a species of super-primates compatible with homo sapiens mated with females to insure survival of themselves and their offspring during the inhospitable periods of the recent ice age and the decedents of those unions still roam our forests today.
Making sweet love to a Sasquatch may not appeal to most modern women today. However, 15,000 years ago if a women wanted to increase her chances for survival they might hook up with someone, shall we say, of above-average size?
Still more questions than answers...
I'm not proposing this theory as an answer to all our questions. I may be completely wrong but EQ is about finding answers not having them all. I also know it raises more questions such as WHO or WHAT were these super-primates that mated with these ice-age women? Were they bigger and more furry than your average Sasquatch? Not necessarily. We know from our own breeding experience that traits exhibited by off-spring are often amplified when like organisms are cross-bred. So it's possible that this super-primate species was lot like the Bigfoot that researchers such as myself are chasing around the globe today.
Of course other theories can be entertained. It's possible that Bigfoot is the result of genetic intervention on the part of extraterrestrials or even a group of highly advanced humans who have been erased by time and the many periodic cataclysms our earth has experienced. If this theory is true it might be what the Bible is referring to in the book of Genesis.
"The Nephilim ( often translated as giants) were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." -- Genesis 6:4 NIV

After my experiences in the field with you and my firsthand exposure to the analytical and knowledgeable approach you take when investigating any unexplained phenomenon, I have to say.... I'm intrigued by this theory. While I'm still partial to the genetic tampering by extra tarrestrials theory, this has me wondering.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that an intervention of some sort may have indeed taken place, or the unknown primates of the day abducted and impregnated women against their will. I do believe that if the women were allowed to go back to human civilization that a good part of your theory would hold true. A woman may be apt to keep her hybrid children for the reasons you describe. They may have even wanted to raise a protector or two to fend off any more abductions. I hadn't thought about it before, so I commend you on the article. It's always a great thing when theories are thrown out there to be bounced around.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we'd be here without intervention myself. Humans are just too advanced and came on the scene too quickly at a time when other organisms were dying off, leaving us with the downsized remnants and versions we see today. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you found this obscure little corner of the web.
