not even close

Can science disprove it by continuing to not produce any type of biological samples? And can you provide your analysis which shows that this is a bigfoot or 'something altogether totally different' rather than a bear?edit on 9-8-2012 by jeantherapy because: (no reason given)

There have been quite a few samples found over the years. Hair, scat, even some DNA with odd results, off of a nail. In those cases, it's always something very close to human, but with little differences, and the experts won't say if those differences are real, or some testing issue. Many of the footprints show dermal ridges, virtually impossible, to my understanding, to fake. About all they don't have is a body (and there are stories of more than one of those, sent to museums and "vanished").
The thing is, most mainstream scientists won't even go out looking for evidence. However, that said, Jane Goodall, who is surely among the top primate experts, states that there is a primate in North America.

I am afraid the ship has sailed as far as this generation is concerned.

That film was fake. A man even came forward and stated that he was asked to don a suit for the film. He decided to go ahead with it, and they both made this 'bigfoot' film.

Thanks for the link. I'm a bit shocked such an ardent skeptic as yourself believes these things exist... I guess one must pick and choose their battles
My own personal opinion is that "samsquanch" is a primitive offshoot of evolution. Not necessarily a monkey or an ape, but a species which evolved beside (and in tandem) with mankind. A primate by definition, but much more closely related to our own species.
I also think they are highly intelligent (bordering on human like intelligence), and may even bury their dead, and have some form of communication.
Of course, this is all conjecture, but the evidence seems to suggest they exist (I know someone personally who witnessed one in the Jasper/Banff area of Alberta personally, and swears it was bipedal, hairy/furry, and white (i.e not the local type of bear species).
I still contend however, that this picture is of a bear and her cub.edit on 10-8-2012 by DeadSeraph because: (no reason given)

That man lied.
the best possible modern attempts to duplicate the walk, the limb movements, everything, all fail. Computer analysis even shows that it is not possible for any normal human to duplicate the walk, because of differences in joint placement, limb length, etc.
I also know what the BEST Hollywood could do at the time was, because we saw that in the Planet of the Apes. WAY inferior to the Patterson/Gimlin film. The movie people didn't even use whole costumes, because anything like that back them was very obvious.
