The Ethical View Of Bigfoots Humanity (What If Bigfoot Is Another Type Of Human Species)

I have wondered about how we would truly react if Bigfoot is finally found. As humans we do not have a good track record on how we have interacted with new species, especially with other races like our own. Once the more so-called civilized culture met the other it usually meant disastrous consequences for the less advance race. These encounters had consequences that questioned the ethical and moral interactions with another species.

While doing some research on this dilemma, I came across a movie called Skullduggery that was produced in 1970 by Universal Pictures. The film tackled this question and then some, its view on the existence of a half human/ape like being not only touched the boundaries of the ape versus human debate for those that think Bigfoot may exist, but also brought to light the still fresh racial tensions and political tensions that existed at the time. The movie gave a view on how a group of scientists, a couple of regular guys, and a religious figure viewed their time spent with these Bigfoot like creatures called lovingly the Tropi by one of the main characters and how it changes them.


Naturally we also get a taste of the typical human trait to try to exploit the benevolent beings and use them for their own personal gain and how to some the Bigfoot like creature seemed human and should have civil rights like any other human species. At one point, the movie even goes as far as to ponder the possibility on interspecies procreation. Its view of the ethical dilemma on how we categorize ourselves as humans has been a debate that has raged on regarding the enigma of Bigfoot.

So many questions about this possibility….Is Bigfoot another type of human species? Does the species have language? Is it a sentient being? We could go on and on and on, yet if Bigfoot is real and if we ever actually prove the existence of such a species, how will we separate its human traits from its feral and animalistic traits. We once lived this feral life in our own early prehistoric origins, if they do exist and if they turn out to be another species of Homo erectus, how and who should decide this?

On the other hand, is it possible that we will repeat history and misuse the existence of a possible species that can connect us to our very own origins? Some argue that the existence of such a species would affect politics, religion, and even show that we are no longer alone as a species. Yet ethically and morally, would we do the right thing and if they are found to human, will they be given the rights and protections many primitive tribes that are still around today have?

In the movie Skullduggery, you will find many of these questions with moments that reflect the ethical and moral consequences of our very humanity. The movie, which stars Burt Reynolds and many other famous actors, is actually a gem to watch whether you’re a Bigfoot skeptic or believer and will give you a view of the world if such a species where to exist today. In Bigfoots case, if the species is ever proven to exist by science, I can only hope that we as a species have learned from our past.

We live in a world which has already lost countless rare species by our own ignorance. If Bigfoot is another type of hominoid that exists today, then they are already an endangered species at the brink of extinction. If the species is found and proven to exist, would we help them to continue their existence or will modern man be the downfall of Bigfoot?

  1. Let focus on findng bigfoot first.

    Then we can think about all these "what if"-questions later.

  2. I think we will fuck things up as always...
    History will repeat itself.

    BTW, all great apes are self aware (mirror test), so Bigfoot will most likely be too since it is more evolved than the great apes (assuming it exists).

  4. Catch one before the election. If he or she votes Republican, we'll know the creature is a sub-species.

    3. Check it out, an obvious member of the shamelessly-obstructionist, "we've taken divisive politics to their utmost limit" party has the gall to call your kettle black. Bwah!

    5. Oh, and just to let you know, I am a Democrat. I am not for division, and people like you create division by elevating yourself above others. Politics have taken a juvenile approach to opposition these days, all a blame game, it is truly pathetic.

  5. There will be a middle ground bridged between animal rights and human rights. It will be illegal to kill one except in self defense, there will be hard lobbying to preserve their habitat to more or less success, and they will not be captured to be put in zoos. It will be illegal to attempt ingratiating them into our society, and only legal to have contact with them in very, limited ways.

  8. Some people think that bigfoot is some sort of mutated human. Or perhaps bigfoot is due to some genetic combination that results in something like the liger, which is a cat larger than any other.

    If this is the case, then an above great ape level of intelligence would help to explain why these creatures are able to remain elusive.

    1. All these if, if, if blog posts when there's no question the beings are there and hominin that's what they are without much doubt, because animals don't speak and speech has already been recorded several times by now confirmed also by language/linguist expert Scott Nelson. There's really no doubt there, we just await DNA results now.

  9. There are only humans, there are not types. We are not sasquatch and they are not us. Look in the mirror if you want proof.

    1. Wrong, ever hear of Neanderthals? They weren't us. We may have a bit of them in us but it's still two different species, so we have indeed shared the Earth with other human species before and likely still do.

  10. I wonder if I was the only one that wanted to know where the name Tropi came from, well apparently it is Paranthropus.
