    Bigfoot is real. Bigfoot is a isolated and highly intelligent group of neanderthals that purposely isolate themselves in the rural and uninhabited areas of the world, they are actively hiding themselves from humans because…humans, you know. They are as intelligent as people and actively obfuscate evidence of their existence to avoid serious investigation.

    However, many so called sightings are fake, there are a few legitimate ones out there with 98% being poor copies and mimics.

    My evidence? My ass. Still believe it.

      Recently read a news article about a Belgian guy who quit his jobs after years of working and is now going on a several month (years, maybe?) quest to find Bigfoot in desolate areas of Canada.

      He believes Bigfoot should be living there.

        this is explainable by alienation, people have done the same thing for less stakes like leaving their office job to take care of sheep in the mountains edit: so in this case it might not be about bigfoot so much as its about a road trip in canada

          Makes sense. I am currently watching a guy on YouTube who bought 6 acres of land on a mountain in the Italian Alps, building a homestead from a ruin on the plot. He said he wanted to do so because mundane work life drove him crazy. He’s done stuff before like going on a two year bike trip from Vancouver to Patagonia. He said that he just wanted to feel tired again, to be connected to nature instead of constantly living in a work focussed society and to learn how to build thing from scratch.

          He really makes me think about what I’m doing with my life.

            it was definitely a big thing a couple years ago and still is i think especially after primitive technology got viral. people yearn for something else than this alienating capitalist life and are limited in what they can do ab it in capitalism

      This is like…really interesting, I always asked myself If there were other homo population in the world today, seems strange that on such a vast planet all kind of vanished with the advent of sapiens

        They were a divergent human species that failed and were overtaken by Homo Sapiens due to Sapiens significantly increased intelligence and endurance. We actually don’t share an evolutionary line with them (They are not an earlier species of humanity).

        Basically Orangutans and Gorillas.

          I’m pretty sure Neanderthals were actually smarter, but that took more energy so sapiens took over.

            Nope, Sapiens are still considered to be smarter by science. Neanderthals had a large brain similar to humans, but several vital parts such as the Prefrontal Cortex are much smaller while the Visual Cortex is larger in their brains, leaving them much less intelligent then Sapiens.

            So basically they were more perceptive and better hunters. But worse planners, builders, educators, and less able to create large functioning societies like tribes.

        I think they are technically human beings they’re just obviously not Homo sapiens
