Evidence For New Human Species Confirmed

By -
A new fossil jaw is among evidence for a new human species.

In 1972, a fossil of a flat-faced early human was found near Lake Turkana in Kenya was thought to be an anomaly but fossils found in the same area between 2007 and 2009 confirms that it was indeed a new species of early human. The area that this new species (tentatively called Homo rudolfensis) was found in was also home to Homo habilis and Homo erectus.

According to the study just released in Nature Journal, this confirms that three Homo species inhabited the area at the same time, around 2 million years ago. There are a couple of theories about how they were able to tolerate each other:

"The cheek bones are so far forward it means they would have been able to use quite a strong biting force," Meave Leakey said.

With a chewing advantage, 1470 may have gravitated toward areas rich with nuts or tough fruits, or perhaps even meat, leaving the softer stuff to erectus and habilis.

It could also be that these early human species just plain got along.

"Modern primates are generally very good at living together," Leakey said. "You can see troops of monkeys composed of at least two species, if not more."

    I read about this on Google news this morning and got the impression there was some controversy about the findings.

      I heard/read the same thing GnR. I guess a little controversy is good though. For me, its kinda reassuring when science is questioning science. Maybe it means they are still doing their job.

    Footers take note. This is how science is done. Not some fantasy DNA paper and talk of a playful family of 5.

    "Modern primates are generally very good at living together"

    LOL!! That was one of the funniest things I have read in a while. We are so good at living together that we still kill each other after all these years

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
