Dr. Meldrum's Relict Hominoid Inquiry Publishes Article On "Footprint Evidence Of The Chinese Yeren"
Cryptomundo just posted an link to a new article from Dr. Jeff Meldrum's Relict Hominoid Inquiry hosted on Idaho State University's website. This new article by Jeff Meldrum (Department of Biological Sciences) and Zhou Guoxing (Beijing Museum of Natural History) compares the footprint casts of the Yeren to the Bigfoot casts recovered at the Patterson-Gimlin film site at Bluff Creek in northern California, 1967.
The abstracts begins with a Shennongjia National Nature Reserve park ranger named Yuan Yuhao, who claimed to have observed a yeren in the reserve, at a distance of approximately 500 meters in the late 1970s:
The 1970’s saw a keen interest by the Chinese government in the “snowman question.” A statesponsored expedition was mounted to central China (Hubei Province) to investigate the possible presence of a correspondingly large bipedal hominid, referred to as the yeren, or wild man. In 1977, a team lead by Professor Zhou Guoxing gathered eyewitness accounts, hair samples, and footprints, but no specimen of yeren was retrieved. In 2008 the authors met at the Beijing Museum of Natural and proceeded to Hubei’s Shennongjia National Nature Reserve to interview witnesses, including a park ranger, Yuan Yuhao, who claimed to have observed a yeren in the reserve, at a distance of approximately 500 m. The site was at an elevation of approximately 2100 m in a mosaic of forest and sedge meadows. The yeren covered in reddish brown hair, was sunning itself. When Yuan called out, it rose and walked away bipedally. Yuan cast a clear pair of its footprints, which measured approximately 38 cm in length, 16.5 cm across the forefoot, and 10 cm across the heel. The footprints indicated a plantigrade, pentadactyl foot lacking evidence of claws. The hallux was larger than the lateral toes and non-divergent. A midtarsal pressure ridge indicated a significant degree of flexibility in the midfoot. In all distinguishing characteristics the casts resembled the ichnotaxon Anthropoidipes ameriborealis (MELDRUM 2007). This evidence suggests independent corroboration of the existence of an unrecognized bipedal primate species with a circum-Pacific distribution.

The Chinese fake "everything". Not surprising to see Bigfoot included, naturally.
ReplyDeleteCan't argue that one.
DeleteThey don't "fake everything." They rip everything off and make cheap copies. Get it right.
DeletePersonally I'm more than wiling to pay a couple thousand for my iPhones. I wish Apple would move the plant here so Union workers could build them......
DeleteAnon 7:34,
DeleteWhat you've just stated is the very definition of "fake". Do you not watch Pawn Stars?
Bigfoot can only YELL! and SCREAM... Bigfoots preferred weapon is a rock to murder or warm off with a rock which gets progressively larger in size and weight
Delete1st weapon is a large stick...but Abel begged Cain to do it right after the stick didn't work breaking Abel into pieces...still alive suffering Abel near death asked Cain to use a large stone to bash Abel’s head in and complete the act
The Earth cried for vengeance and 3x times when buried deeper and deeper regurgitated Abel’s dead body
Adam found Abels body and placed it on a rock...then when Adam died they buried Adam/Abel together
These are indeed mostly fully human-our 1/2 cousins Cain's offspring banished by God marked w/ a sign can only yell/scream and root grub for its food wherever it can captives to live under the earth mostly nocturnal chastised to wander the land of Nod forever.
When we leave this earth world...bigfoot stays behind
Cain deserved it for what he did to his little brother Abel into a frustrating existence indeed
Never wish harm injure nor kill a Bigfoot (they are still our human relatives) as God will punish untold generations of your offspring 7-fold
Read the Jewish history account about this taken ever since the beginning also Bible Chapter 10 logged by Enoch by Noah's grandfather
Get with program people! But be wary...Bigfoot knows exactly who each and every one of us are and where we came from down thru the generational familial humankind lineages… and know where you live and come from.

The illustration is interestingly a recolouring of an illustration out of Sanderson's files, as a reconstruction in an American magazine from Russian reports (from the Caucasus) I know because I made a xerox of it in 1975 and I have put a copy of it up in my yahoo Cryptozoology group. I would love to know how it came to represent a Chinese Yeren
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes, Dale D.
Could Meldrum being pulling a "Hovey" and copyrighting what ain't his?
DeleteTold ya, they faked the Yeren, of course. Those whacky Chinese.....
ReplyDeleteThe faking of sasquatch footprints is an interesting subject to debate. Has anybody figured out how to fake being 800 lbs, while going up and down difficult terain, displaying midtarsal ridge mechanics, unknown primate dermal ridges, complete with healed scaring? Is there some underground secret society that travels througout north america, displaying this extreme skillset? Without getting caught, shot, run down, run over, chased by dogs, people and police? I just don't think so. Let the healthy skeptics extrapolite the data this way if they must,
ReplyDeletebut I think they risk neurosis of the transmission of doubt.
Casts prove bigfoot exists. Now what?
DeleteTo Anon 7.23 Gee! I guess the native americans followed the tracks of animals they were hunting because the animals were just a figment of their imagination. Do you ever actually think about what you write.
DeleteLounge lizards who could not track to save your lives have zero credibility. Animals leave tracks in case you never realised. The reverse applies as well. Oh! I forgot, never let logic get in the way of a good biased view. We must dismiss all tracks that look like large hominoids as fake obviously.
Honest question, James: How has it been determined that any prints were made by an 800 lb subject? Depth of the print? Comparison to large bears? Elk? What?
DeleteOn Monsterquest, a couple of guys piled sandbags on a large wooden crates which had wooden feet attached to the bottom. They got tired and sweaty because they had to lift some many bags.
DeleteCorrect on the monsterquest eperiment. It took 800 lbs to duplicate the depth. There were many tracks. It took a long time to duplicate the depth, two people, a bunch of equipment. In the isolated back country of colorodo. This is just one attempt at faking. In the Patterson incident, the tracks were deeper than the horses made with a rider. There were lots of them. They tracked them for quite a distance. Then there's the dermal ridges. Even harder to fake. Then there's the midtarsal mechanics that show up consistently. If anyone is thinks these are all being faked throughout north america and asia, they're simply intellectually lazy or challanged. Tracks are evidence, thankyou @8:02pm. Interpreting this evidence correctly is what kept humans alive up until most gave up hunter/gatherer living. The best trackers still living are the First Nations peoples. They all know sasquatch/bigfoot exist, have their own body of knowledge about them, and they're not sharing much. This is part of their Sacred Traditions, and sharing this with european cultures/transplants is futile. This in itself is a subject that is too lengthy for discussion here. Talking to foks that don't think tracks are evidence, well, I might as well be talking to a bug on a bush. Sure there are poor fakers. But these are few. Tracks made by a large hominid are many. If you want to get a hint of the depth of tracking knowledge read "The Tracker" and "The Search" by Tom Brown Jr. He learned from an Apache, his grandfather. These traditions regardng sasquatch, that go back centuries, and that also involve skillsets never realized by european cultures, let alone accepted by them.
DeleteThanks for all the info, James.
DeleteOnce again: casts prove bigfoot. Now what? Case closed?
DeleteJames, since you bring up Tom Brown... He's written that all bigfoot tracks he's examined have been fakes. Also, the fellow he refers to as "grandfather" wasn't literally his grandfather. He's a white guy from New Jersey, not an Apache. You might want to turn over a few more stones before you call others intellectually lazy or challenged.
DeleteMy apologies on not making it clear that "grandfather" was what he called or refered to him as. "Grandfather" is actually the grandfather of his neighbor "Rick", who taught both of them. He also refered to "grandfather", as "Stalking Wolf". Yes, Tom Brown Jr. is a white guy,as his name suggests. His tracking knowledge is unsurpassed in the "white world", because it did not come from the "white world", but from the 1st nations culture. If he were an Apache by blood, he probably wouldn't bother trying to teach the "european culture", nor be accepted by them, even if he was so inclined. Also, I've heard him on a "coast to coast" radio interview, that he's never seen evidence of bigfoot, though he's spent more time than most in the woods. However, most 1st nations peoples have also never seen bigfoot nor evidence of them, though many, many have. This is admittedly a conundrum. Perhaps he's never seen the cast evidence of dermal and, mid-tarsal ridges that leads Jimmy Chilcutt and Jeff Meldrum to belief bigfoot exist, though they've also seen many fakes, and have never seen a bigfoot. This is a good "skeptic" selling point here. A true tracking expert who has never seen evidence of Bigfoot, and who has spent more time and has more skills in the woods than most any human alive. Would he be willing to go to the "hot spots" of bigfoot sighting? Really immerse himself and his skills on this subject? Les Stroud is apparently going to do it, with his special forces skills. Tom Brown Jr. is the guy who has taught special forces and other law enforcement folks these tracking skills for many years. Tom Brown Jr. is not without controversy either, as "grandfather" or "Stalking Wolf" is not easily verifiable, just like bigfoot. But he learned his skills from somebody, and is not likely self-taught.
Deleteyou guys are crazy, who knows what's out there, i believe soon the truth will be revealed, i just hope people can learn to cope with it.
ReplyDeleteYour Welcome ;-)
Yes, sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon............
DeleteOh yes, the word that will forever live in infamy inside the Sasquatchin' circle; "soon". Can we please ban this word forever? If a person (Ketchum) cannot grasp the true meaning of such a simple word, then why would people continue to people put so much hope and faith in her study and paper? This is a simple concept when compared to the sequencing of DNA ( which by the way, her business is beyond crappy at as well) . Using common sense, its easy for me to conclude that putting hope and faith in her pulling this off (proving beyond a shadow of a doubt, the existence of Sasquatch) is a horrible decision at best. It just makes no sense to do that (have blind faith and hope that someone with her record can do pull this off) when you take the whole picture into perspective. By the way, anything "less than proving" the existence is a FAILURE. "Proving" was the goal, the goal wasn't to identify "unknown DNA". We already have that in this field and look where we are today........hint hint, STILL NO PROOF of its EXISTENCE with that evidence.
DeleteIts funny all of you punks insult me Rick Dyer when this guy is the biggest hoaxer of all. Im the best bigfoot tracker in the world. I know it, Tim knows it, Shawn knows it, and you all know it. Team Tazer and me are gonna rock your world!
ReplyDeleteRick dyer, you stupid piece of crap. How does it feel to be the biggest hoaxer in the world along with your buddy Lardsino? Oh yeah i forgot snowpacker too!
DeleteIf this is Chinese does Yeren translate to Smallfoot?
ReplyDeleteShoot one and end this money making bonanza by people who are praying its never found.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. The 2007 Ichnotaxon paper is there as well. For relative newbies like me, other articles can be found on the Bigfoot Encounters site.

Everything composed made a bunch of sense. However, what about this?
ReplyDeletesuppose you were to create a awesome title? I ain't suggesting your content isn't good., however suppose you added a headline
to possibly get folk's attention? I mean "Dr. Meldrum's Relict Hominoid Inquiry Publishes Article On "Footprint Evidence Of The Chinese Yeren"" is a little boring. You should look at Yahoo's home page and watch how they write post titles to grab people interested. You might try adding a video or a picture or two to grab readers interested about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little livelier.

James has some smarts ...a good game on of truth, facts, and science Tom Brown is a real deal
ReplyDeleteThese are our 1/2 cousins Cain's offspring banished by God marked w/ a sign can only tell scream and root grub food wherever it can chastised to wander the land of Yod forever.
