Paleoartist Elisabeth Daynes has created one of the most striking depiction of Lucy (an Australopithecus). Check out this Bigfoot Evidence Science Minute for details:
Lucy is an African so should be black. This trend of portraying Africans with negroid features as white-skinned is childish PC twaddle people need to grow up and out of.
I'm afraid your "African = black" is childish PC twaddle that you need to grow up and out of. There was no "Africa," nor were there "black" humans, back then. The color of one's skin depends on the environment in which they live (over numerous generations of course). For instance, Chimpanzees have light-colored skin despite living closer to the equator. Humans with dark skin didn't come about until millions of years after Lucy lived. The change was in response to living in more open environments. Those who carried the gene for darker skin survived while those who didn't died off. It served as natural sun block. After humans started leaving what would later be named the continent of Africa and spread into colder climates, skin started to lighten. This allowed more vitamin D to be absorbed in areas, such as Europe, with less sun exposure.
Lucy is yesterdays news. She is no longer regarded as an ancestral link to humans. Since the original bones were found, many more complete skeletons have been found. The consensus among the experts (at least in the texts) is that Lucy is a knuckle walking quadrupedal chimp, probably a pygmy chimp or bonobo. Move along folks, nothing to see here.
No, not at all. If you do the background reading on Lucy, all of the major anthropologists now acknowledge that Lucy was not a biped nor was she in the Homo lineage. She is an Australopithecene, an ape. Has nothing to do with creationist literature, it's about literature research in a library rather than internet sites.
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.
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.
Uno!!

That is a way more convincing face shot than Blinky!

ReplyDeleteI think someone has been reading creationist literature.

DeleteMan, that guy has an annoying voice. Get someone else to do these videos.
