Descent of the yeti

The descent of the yeti (scientific name: Semnopithecus entellus waddelli, named after Laurence Waddell who recorded the footprints of the yeti in his 1899 book Among the Himalayas) will be explained in sub-sections of this section.

Descent of the Indian yeti population

The descent of the yeti in India is the Northern plains gray langur, a species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae—known for being a diurnal primate, being both terrestrial and arboreal. Of course, the yeti in India was speciated by either a local population that used adaptations that made them speciate or a group of regional populations that used adaptations that were communitarianly united because of the sameness of the adaptions—overall, the Indian yeti population has adaptations originating from its speciation, that being more of a terrestrial animal rather an arboreal animal, albeit still uses arboreal locomotion in times of prey catching up to trees for their own safety, allowing for the predator to swiftly catch them without the need of having to roughlessly try over and over. Another adaptation of the Indian yeti population are the large bodies that the Indian yeti possesses, mostly from the fact that the Indian yeti population uses communitarian hunter-gathering or hunting of usually large animals for their large body image, of course, with the Indian yeti with a large body image—it could effectively capture animals with both a psychological effect and a physical effect.

Descent of the Tibetan yeti population

The descent of the yeti in Tibet is descended from the Indian yeti population—most of the time, the Tibetan yeti retains its body size adaptation, however, the Tibetan yeti does not require arboreal locomotion due to the fact that the Tibetan yeti population is situated within the Himalayan Mountains, a mountain that usually doesn't have trees whatsoever.

Descent of the Bhutanese yeti population

The Bhutanese yeti retains most of its features from the Indian yeti because it descended from the Indian yeti—of course the Bhutanese yeti retains the body size adaptation and its usage of both terrestrial and arboreal locomotion, however the usage of arboreal locomotion in Bhutanese mountains are severely limited due to the fact that mountains don't usually contain trees that much.

Descent of the Chinese yeti population

The Chinese yeti population is descended from the Bhutanese yeti—of course, the Chinese yeti retains its body size and its usage of terrestrial locomotion as a way of primary locomotion, and the Chinese yeti also retains its usage of arboreal locomotion in terms of tree-dwelling prey, however the arboreal locomotion is severely limited in terms of terrestrial locomotion in mountains.

Descent of the Russian yeti population

The Russian yeti mostly lives in Siberia, mostly because it is suited for their adaptations, and is descended from the Chinese yeti, however, there are several mountains in Siberia, so the usage of arboreal locomotion in these mountains are severely limited.

Descent of the American yeti population

The American yeti is an extinct population of yeti that mostly speciated into the Bigfoot through different adaptations that lead the speciation of Bigfoot—and of course, the American yeti might've crossed the Beringia and speciated into the Bigfoot before the Great Biblical Flood even happended, and after the flood, might've possibly survived it with some adaptations that make the Bigfoot we know today. There could also been a hypothetical population of American yeti in South America that speciated into different crypto-hominids with different adaptations.
