The Quest for the Yeti will describe Sykes' hunt for genetic
traces of species whose existence remains scientifically
unconfirmed, including the Yeti, the Sasquatch and Big Foot.
For the most part the samples he has tracked down for analysis
have turned out to be known species such as bears, raccoons or
cows; however two samples taken towards the end of his quest
will "change our understanding of human history," he says.
Towards the end of his quest, BTW, he spent about a week in
the Pacific NW visiting a well-known "Footers."
=============================:>
Three years later and nothing on a topic that has been lingering for a very long time. Not a good sign for believers I spec.

For hundreds of years humans believed Earth was flat. Should science stop looking, observing, investigating?

Nessie would be fascinating if it were an aquatic dinosaur kinda critter.
I don't give him much credence because, his turf, Loch Ness is too small for a breeding population of them. If such a population existed, say 50, minimum 30 beasties, they'd be seen every day, and no mystery.
If you look at North America from space when it's night down here, just seeing all the lights ... it's immediately obvious that we humans occupy less than 10% of North America. It is mostly a vast wilderness.
Bigfoot is interesting for a few reasons.
Clearly it's homo, not an ape. That's obvious from Patty's face.
Knowing they exist, & trying to figure out why there's no proof yet, that's maddening.
Also ... many more cryptids are reported than Bigfoot & Nessie.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
I've given up looking for the meaning of life. Now all I want is a cookie.
I mean a good cookie ... not the super market garm they're selling now.

First "movie" I saw was a documentary on bigfoot, which was an assignment for school. I was six and it was very scary. I wasn't allowed to see another movie until everyone went to the theater for the opening night of Star Wars. I wasn't allowed to go, but then everyone was talking about it, so my mom changed her mind and I went back on the second night.
The biggest problem I had with bigfoot as a kid though was why wouldn't there be more of them? The same thing is true of mythical monsters in general. Another issue that has spring up is that it's very difficult to be a stealthy apex predator. Watching people on facebook freak out about a sturgeon reminds me that the vast majority of the public is really quite ignorant, and that was almost certainly true when these legends were born. Something on the order of Loch Ness could exist as a vegetarian, a member of some other species, or some very long lived creature, but hard to say.
Meanwhile, real creatures are getting much creepier:

Personally I find Nessie more interesting than Bigfoot.
I thought Scooby Doo tracked down all of the Yeti, Bigfoot, Loch Ness, Abominable Snowman, and mythical Honest Democrats back when I was a kid.
Who knew?

JSF, I grew up and live in British Columbia. There are countless stories of Bigfoot or Sasquatch here. First Nations people believe in them.
Also there is Lake Okanagan which is in the Okanagan and supposedly has a creature in it. It is called Ogopogo. Think of a North American version of Nessie.
Brenda, this particular post of mine was tongue-in-cheek.
I'm fair certain this thread has many of my honest posts in it.
Have you heard of the giant race(s) found buried in North America?
Do the First Nations consider Bigfoot to be human, another race, or what?
