    Is the bigfoot, yeti, or sasquatch a homo sapien?

    Question #34019. Asked by kiwi in oz. (May 20 03 3:37 AM)


    Linus

    The general term given to large, human-like creatures that are reported across the world is 'homins'.

    The Sasquatch is listed by the following site as a large humanoid primate, either Australopithecus, Homo erectus, or Homo heidelbergensis (the latter is deemed most likely). Other homins are also described and categorised, based on matching descriptions of reported sightings with known classifications.

    and http://karlammann.com/bondo.html there are lots of animals that size still being discovered, for example, onzas, giant squids, colossal squids, etc. I think they would be considered of the genus homo but not sapiens, unless it's all a hoax.
