What drove the evolution of primates to go from living among the trees, to quadrapedal locomotion, to bipedal locomotion, and would that evolution have an impact on intelligence?

if signaling theory holds water then male pattern baldness in low test weak men is likely a dishonest signal of high test natural baldness, but has existed so long that women have learned to associate it with the low testosterone dishonest signal instead of the original high testosterone honest signal when judging potential mates
>male pattern baldness
Has nothing to do with men as it's a trait passed on by the female genes.

It seems there’s a motive to having this thread 404.
>ib4 muh it doesn’t belong to n this board
So just report it like a normal person.
>So just report it like a normal person.
for what?
it's ostensibly a thread about primates, right?
totally legit.
It's a strange way or seething. They don't do this to the lemurgay because animal abuse doesn't provoke them as much as an imaginary animal does for some reason.
>They don't do this to the lemurgay because animal abuse doesn't provoke them as much as an imaginary animal does for some reason.
brainlets trying to figure out what's going on
that's literally what's going on though.
if lemurgay posts pics of animal abuse he'd be banned fast. He knows as long as he posts words it's much harder to report.
images of abuse are illegal in the US
words less so.
But why don't they bump his threads fast like they're doing with this one? They just let him post and bump his threads when he wakes up, and then when he leaves it goes back down to the bottom until he's ready to post again. They don't help him reach bump limit like here.
>But why don't they bump his threads fast like they're doing with this one?
he bumps his own threads to death
pay attention
I'm not going to bump limit with this.
I am explaining why schizophrenic thought is so hard to reproduce with a bot.
Primate thread seems like the place to discuss primate cognition.
The problem with a schizophrenic bot is that bots follow strict rules while schizophrenics break rules of thought by definition. How do you make a bot hallucinate?
a very similar problem exists in making genius bots.
bots and NPC's don't understand motives, they cannot imagine a motive that they themselves don't possess.
Sure does glow in here.
getting closer.
is a picture of a glowie the same thing as a glowie?
are the words of a glowie the same thing as a glowie?
is a picture of bigfoot the same thing as a bigfoot?
in fact pictures can be faked and often are.
video as well.
but to the schizophrenic who doesn't know what to trust, a picture may be as good as reality.
to the schizophrenic mind, a picture of bigfoot is just as real as the breakfast they ate this morning. Maybe even more real since they don't have a picture of their breakfast.
and when the schizophrenic runs into a fact that disagrees with their model of reality, they're unable to adjust their model so they lash out at others.
often secret shadowy forces that must surely conspire to make them crazy.
but the crazy is all in their head, not outside it.
it's simply too unsettling to even consider the thought that they're actually insane, and that what their mind reports is fiction. Nobody wants to accept that, even crazy people.
especially crazy people.
How do you navigate a world where you never know what's real?
the short answer is you cannot.
Why is this thread constantly being bumped? Do people actually believe in made up shit like bigfoot?
>Do people actually believe in made up shit like bigfoot?
apparently

Sasquatch isn't real
Sasquatch is real.
this
reads, "This is not a pipe"
in case you don't read frog
what do you think the artist was trying to say about reality?
I think he was saying a drawing of a pipe is not a pipe.
I wonder if a film of big foot is not big foot?
Just as a drawing of a pipe is not a real pipe, a video of bigfoot is not a real bigfoot.
the very average and the very exceptional mind both have trouble with this concept.
one because they have not thought of it, and the other because they think of it constantly.
Schizophrenics have trouble knowing what's real, and knowing how to know what's real.
So they invent epistemological methods like
>disprove this thing or I will assume it's real
>prove this thing and I will believe it's real
the error of both is a lack of information
but it's very difficult to gain information when your brain invents it faster than your senses can report it
it's hard to know what's real when your brain lies to you constantly.
The problem with demanding people disprove every stupid idea that enters your head is that you then find reasons to doubt their disproof. These doubts strengthen your own conviction in a wrong belief, and the wrong belief persists.
the other problem is most people aren't interested in disproving false beliefs for crazy people. Because crazy people lash out violently when you do what they demand and disprove their delusions.
since they can't be reasoned with, and cannot navigate reality because they can't recognize it, we usually hospitalize them for their own safety. Or give them meds which they invariably refuse to take and we wind up hospitalizing them anyways.
the question is if someone that believes in bigfoot or alien abductions or angels is actually a danger to themselves and others, or merely a bit odd or dumb
My IQ is 145, and I’ve never been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I just like entertaining the idea of Sasquatch doesn’t mean I’d bet on it or “believe” in it. At the same time I’m not just going to completely discount it, however unlikely.
>My IQ is 145, and I’ve never been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
do you believe there's some association between genius and schizotypal thought?
where does new thought come from?
That’s the thing about having a high IQ, it doesn’t always means the person is a genius. I don’t think I’m a genius. My math skills are terrible, but that could be down to laziness I don’t know?
>I don’t think I’m a genius
they usually don't.
>I’m not just going to completely discount it, however unlikely.
yes, the agnostic position is common among geniuses. They usually grow out of it.
I'm going to leave a couple posts because I honestly want to hear your thoughts and I'm not going to demand them by insulting you.
the problem is eventually you realize absence of evidence IS in fact evidence of absence if a sufficient search has been done.
There hasn’t been as sufficient search in my mind. If they are real we are dealing with something very close to humans yet completely at home in the wilderness. I don’t think the chances are zero.
>There hasn’t been as sufficient search in my mind
fair enough.
Not him, but there is no absence of evidence. If you're not stupid and know what you're looking for, you sift through the bullshit. It's not like believing in bigfoot means you believe in every video or story.
we simply have different ideas of what constitutes evidence.
schizophrenics and NPC's can't trust their own senses so they trust others. But then they're faced with the problem of judging whom to trust.
the problem with sasquatch is its believers really like to muddy the waters by believing every, EVERY single bull-shit hoax story and blurry video so if he is out there, they are so far off the mark with their preconceived notions that he could fricking wave at them and they'd think it was a hobo
>is that bigfoot?
>no, he can't phase through trees and he has no super strength. he should be throwing that ponderosa at us.
>i'm pretty sure it's bigfoot.
>look dude, that looks NOTHING like the PGF video, it is not fricking bigfoot. We already established that the PGF video was real because there's no way they made a costume that realistic for a blurry video.
>dude, quick, get your camera
>Dude, DUDE, he was wearing a fricking coat. Bigfoot doesn't wear clothes. None of the eyewitness accounts said he wore clothes.
>that looked like an animal skin with a hole chewed in it
>Just a prop. Hobos are fricking with us.
>That was just a human we already established bigfoot is a novel primate with super strength and he's 12 feet tall alright?
>there's three of them!
>Not bigfoot. Hobos.
>believers really like to muddy the waters by believing every, EVERY single bull-shit hoax story
100% bullshit.
I, and many other people, use a probability factor for any and everything anyone claims to observe. Factors such as who the reporter is, their experience and any expertise, the probability of deception, the observation made, the conditions during the observation, corroborating evidence from other observers, and technological evidence. The probability that sasquatch is a real primate is overwhelming, and its based on the observers and the evidence, in film and footprints, that those observers have presented throughout the years.
People, including "scientists", called bullshit on the existence of giant squid, despite the evidence of sucker marks left on whales, and lo and behold all the contrarians and idiots in "science" were proven wrong due to film of said squid. The PGF film demonstrated the same over 50 years ago, and yet idiots are still trying to deny it to this day.
>People, including "scientists", called bullshit on the existence of giant squid
can i read more about this?
Just do a search for "giant squid" and read all the shit published in the late part of the last century.
The PGF film is most likely fake. Like I said you fricks will believe blatant hoaxes like you would believe the giant squid surfaced, attacked ships, and had a mouth full of giant needle teeth (the accounts were too detailed!) discrediting everything you say and do resulting in you being off the mark so your vindication will also make a mockery of you.
This is actually very likely:
>Bigfoot found. DNA testing reveals he's human.
>Bigfoot is also fluent in english and wants to be let go.
>Listen man that's not bigfoot, bigfoot can throw trees that blurry video was just too convincing. This is a whole new species!
>The PGF film is most likely fake.
No, it's not.
As a skeptic, I would argue that the subject would share the same visual characteristics of your typical late 60's costume, but it doesn't. As a skeptic, I would argue that it should share the same arm length to leg length ratio as a typical man in a costume, but it doesn't. As a skeptic I would argue that the subject would share the same walking gait as a man in a costume, but it doesn't. As a skeptic, I would argue that the costume would have been found, but it hasn't. As a skeptic, I would argue that the actor would have revealed himself, but no credible individual has ever emerged. As a skeptic, I would argue that Bob Gimlin's story would have changed repeatedly over the years, but it hasn't. As a skeptic, I would argue that there is legitimate evidence demonstrating that the film was a hoax, but no such evidence exists. None of the evidence supports a hoax. None of the evidence supports a costume.
When the evidence doesn't support a hypothesis but contributes to its falsification, then the hypothesis is wrong, regardless if you like it or not.
Odd. I'm not moronic to think it makes them dumb.
You haven’t disproved anything though. The only legitimate coiner argument you’ve had is that they found gorilla bones in the jungle. Every thing else amounts to
>uh hu no it’s not
>wwwaaahhhh mods help
You’re like a child.
>you then find reasons to doubt their disproof.
Why cant bigfoot decide what his feet look like?
>wow, uh, biodiversity!
>foot prints in mud represent the actual foot as opposed to impressions that also show movements

Lol. Lmao even.
Again keep moving those goal posts. How many scientists has anyone actually heard of? Especially living ones.

there are no goal posts
you're fighting a fight that nobody else here is part of. There's nothing for you to win. Even if you think you won an argument, it won't make big foot real
You claiming things being so doesn’t make you right. You started this argument or your other buddy did in any case. You could have reported and moved on or just put in your two sense and moved on but you couldn’t control yourself. Now there’s going to be Bigfoot related content all the time.

Pure projection. You're the one coming in here and sperging out.
>coming in here and sperging out.
I've been posting on Wauf as long as the board has existed.
you're the one coming in my space and shitting on the walls.
The walls are already covered in shit from your dog and lemur fricker threads.
agreed.
so help me report those and I'll hold off on reporting you for a while.
1.)I didn't make the thread
2.)Reporting a sage or ban is a reportable action
3.) If you people can't handle something other than 5 crazy 2 million post circle jerk dinosaur threads, or 2 post bat threads, none of us deserve a good clean board.
>2.)Reporting a sage or ban is a reportable action
why can't you morons read?
I said I didn't report you.
Just like you said this ISN'T a bigfoot thread.
I've never been on reddit, what's it like?
Sure you haven’t.
You don’t even know the difference between a thread and a bored you newbie. I’ll just wait till you spammers leave before coming back for an actual discussion.
>I’ll just wait till you spammers leave before coming back for an actual discussion.
the thread will 404 before you come back and when it's reposted we're going to take it down.
why do you think we're doing this? You think I like arguing with idiots? Less than 100 idiot posts to go.
just because you came here from reddit last week doesn't mean there aren't any oldgays left.
you can spot us by our "reddit spacing"
we were using it before reddit was invented.
do they allow bigfoot schizos to come into zoology threads and argue with people that like real animals?
>Just like you said this ISN'T a bigfoot thread
I wasn't the on who said that, moron. I don't believe It's just a primate thread either- it's a poorly disguised one. What is with this paranoid mindset of fighting just one person?
>What is with this paranoid mindset of fighting just one person?
>None of you are "guys" you're just words on a screen. I don't even think most of you are human.
Again, if this all just fighting with bots and subhumans why do you get so invested and sperg out. There's nothing to win here right?
>There's nothing to win here right?
nothing you can imagine, no
thanks for asking though.
So you're just here to shit up your own board and bump the "crazy schizo bigfoot thread" to the top? Lmao! This is why you don't deserve a good board. You contribute to the cess.
I told you you can't imagine what there is to win and yet you insist on trying.
you're a bit dim. Tell me more of your thoughts about things and stuff
I guess all I can tell you is to continue to bump the bigfoot thread.
>why do you get so invested and sperg out.
you read a lot of emotion into words.
isn't that interesting?
The fact is, you're still engaging.
>The fact is, you're still engaging.
yes, if there's nothing for me to win, why am I engaging?
Because you'reu're not as emotionally detached from this as you try to make yourself look.
correct!
give the man a biscuit
Why are you emotionally invested in bigfoot's existence, anon?
>Why are you emotionally invested in bigfoot's existence, anon?
I'm not
why do you think I am?
You're here in a thread about a "fictional creature" arguing for it's non-existence like it matters.
fair enough. but I'm not actually arguing with anyone, am I?
this is not a pipe
No but you're bumping the thread
>No but you're bumping the thread
does that annoy you?
Not, I'm glad. Thank you.
I wonder if there's some limit to me bumping the thread?
we could call it a "bump limit" or something
There will be another one.
>There will be another one.
I'm counting on it
Only discord trannies cry to mods gay. I could see if this thread was wildly off topic but it’s not. You seem to have a personal stake in this. On top of that nobody cares about Wauf. That Orangutan with a fence post up its ass has been up for what? A week?
>Only discord trannies cry to mods gay.
If I reported the thread it would presumably be gone. I'm not sure, I haven't tried it.
Then why do you want there to be another one? The reason people are being mean to you is because you’re arguing in bad faith and try to make the bread reach its bump limit. You ask questions then when you’re given answers you just scream nu hu and claim everyone else is a schizophrenic.
>The reason people are being mean to you
nobody is being mean to me
>you’re arguing in bad faith and try to make the bread reach its bump limit.
I was not arguing
why do you assume words on your screen have feelings?
I don't believe anyone has written a truly schizophrenic bot yet.
it's one of the last frontiers, and one of the last believable person types on chat boards.
however if you wanted to train a bot to speak like a schizophrenic person, this would absolutely be the place to do it. No shortage of schizos on Wauf.
do you suppose it's evolutionarily advantageous to assume "angry words" come from an angry person just in case that person attacks you?
but what about on a screen, there's no imminent threat there. What's the advantage of reading emotion into seemingly threatening words that cannot in any way harm you?
>5 crazy 2 million post circle jerk dinosaur threads
there's actually 15 dinosaur threads up right now I think.
the sooner paleoschizo gets some help the better this board will be. And since he's also probably the lemur guy and the OP of this thread, we can wipe out a lot of crazy just by talking that guy into taking some meds or moving to ecuador or whatever.
we've had mixed success getting rid of both dogfrickers and bigfoot spammers
but the job isn't done. Dogfrickers and bigfoot spammers keep coming back and posting even after it's clear they're not wanted here.
type faster homosexual, we got a quota to keep
I'm not even the guy you were originally talking to. It's a bit schizophrenic to I am.
>I'm not even the guy you were originally talking to.
so what? None of you are "guys" you're just words on a screen. I don't even think most of you are human.
crazy words mostly.
Can you show me the paper assigning bigfoot to the Primates?
who described the species? Where's that published? You don't get to make shit up, crazy person. If bigfoot is a primate let's see you prove it.
I mean, even if bigfoot was proven to be real, RIGHT THIS INSTANT,
you'd still be insane. Not because you were wrong, not because you were right, but because you believed in something for no good reason and let complete idiots fool you with fake evidence and youtube videos
Fakest looking shit. Why is it always a shitty cast instead of multiple people photographing and documenting tracks complete with environmental disturbance?
There is though.
I like how the entire argument of people opposed to the PGF or the existence of sasquatch is "no it's not...."
Truly sad.
no argument is required against the existence of a thing for which nobody has ever provided evidence that it exists.
we also don't need to debunk movies about unicorns or fairies.
There is evidence. Now it’s your turn as a skeptic to prove that it’s fake. Until then agree to disagree agree and move on.
>there is evidence
>blurry video of a guy in a suit
Dead bigfoot
Bigfoot bones

Where?
Foot print casts. Debunk them. No not the obvious fakes the ones Meldrum and others have.
Keep moving those goal posts.
>Keep moving those goal posts
there are no 'goal posts'
you don't have an argument
you're just a crazy person demanding people disprove your delusions. Not our problem. Our problem is crazy people posting on the wrong board.
>Foot print casts. Debunk them.
Can't. Prints have been discovered and cast from Georgia, California, Washington, Oregon, and all over the U.S. that all share the same anatomical profiles. A chinese dude found and cast one in China, too, which demonstrates the species exists on more than just the north American continent.
This would seem to indicate that they probably migrated from Asia to the Americas along with humans way back when.
A footprint “cast” (sculpture) is the easiest thing to fake and the prerequisite to faking the footprint itself. A well done fake with wrinkles, still a fake. Consistently find tracks and hair that dont turn out to be fake maybe - no one has pulled this off. They just have likely fake casts. The real evidence is always hidden to minimize the chances of the hoax being busted. Its not real without remains. Animals die. Fricking everything eats dead animals and we still find corpses. Even dead humans, which care for their dead like they’re just a little sick.
Prove it because people in different fields seem to believe they are genuine. You’re just making shit up now.
>people in different fields seem to believe they are genuine.

I love how you guys assemble a cast of like-minded schizos that nobody else has ever heard of to support you.

Now he’ll just say it must be being suppressed by a conspiracy
I swear.
I have some schizos in my family and all their "evidence" gets sent to me via youtube. Like everything on film must be true unless someone convinces them it's not.
I’m sorry you have mentally ill family members but not everyone you disagree with has mental problems.
>not everyone you disagree with has mental problems.
absolutely not
people that believe in bigfoot or angels or reptilian shapeshifter politicians absolutely have mental problems though. Whether I agree with them or not.
Now you’re just gaslighting. I can do that to. I bet you think people who believe in God also have mental illness’s?
>I bet you think people who believe in God also have mental illness’s?
there's no apostrophe in illnesses.
at least believing in god is mainstream and they have a good backstory. It's bullshit, but it's better than the sasquatch bullshit.
Sasquatch has a good backstory. You probably already knew that though. You’re not as smart as you think you are friend.
The argument is its a sketchy video with too many alternative explanations and not enough (0) hard evidence in a fraud ridden field of “research”
Next time shoot bigfoot. Africans saw and killed “mythical” gorillas, we find gorilla bones, surely its doable. I really doubt this hairy homosexual eats all his dead entirely without fail every time.
If they exist they seem to be much more intelligent and more mobile than a gorilla. They also spread out over a much greater area and in smaller groups.
>If they exist
the simplest answer is they don't.
Bigfoot is too smart to be caught man
Bigfoot always eats his dead entirely without fail despite being extremely spread out man
Bigfoot can shapeshift man
The excuses never stop. Go find ape remains or you’re just a schizo who fell for a fake video.
You fellas seem upset? No one is going to brigade your dog fricking board with /x/ threads. Sasquatch has some credibility so it belongs on here just as much as say speculative evolution. You can cry and stomp your feet all you want but that’s just how it is.
>Sasquatch has some credibility so it belongs on here
no and no
you came close when you discussed the ecology and physiology of your mythical beast, but the problem is if we allow you we have to allow threads for nessie and cerberus and a few thousand other made up critters.
So become a Jannie. You’re already a trannie and are probably crying to them right now. It’s not the same but okay.

The argument for a new primate is bunk
The only likely argument is that there are hairy humans in the woods and theres a bunch of ape hoaxes preventing morons from realizing it
Bump to spite feds
how come despite the number of high quality cameras per person increasing literally by a million times, we still only get the same kind of grainy crap footage at the same rate as in the 80's?
Because bigfoot was and still is a hoax loosely based on some hobos and severely inbred injuns
We've deboonked the injun bullshit in the last thread. You're just memeing at this point.
Don't waste your time with contrarian trolls.
you literally are the contrarian trolls.
You deboonked it with a blurry hoax video of a guy in a ghille suit tossing fake trees
And you shut the frick up about it then because you don't actually believe something so moronic. You're still coping at this point.

So much for the open minded cryptozoologist! You’d think you would be willing and able to accept that crazy yet unverifiable “evidence” is likely to be fake and muddying the waters. Lots of bigfoot hoax videos have been made but not many were successfully monetized. People just realize lying isnt all that i guess.
no someone made a blurry video so now it has to have super strength! if there are glowies bigfoot nuts are their favorite pawns.
I'm not open-minded to meme answers.
Your entire schtick is a meme without one shred of verifiable evidence and your best argument is “the costume is too well made”

This argument has been thoroughly debunked to the point that suggesting it today puts you on par with the flat Earth proponents, which makes you either a troll, an idiot, insane, or a combination of the three.
>suggesting it today puts you on par with the flat Earth proponents
look schizophrenic person, believing in big foot puts you in exactly the same class as flat earthers and I'm sure you know it.
The planet is round, no matter what your contentions are, as that's what the evidence demonstrates.
Evidence, yes, the one thing bigfoot totally lacks. Hoax videos you think look convincing are not evidence, because they can just as easily look fake to someone lacking the bias of wanting to believe in bigfoot. No one has even found any unknown primate DNA despite sifting soil and streams. Not even a turd, not even a pissed on tree, not a hair. Bigfoot always stays downstream of such efforts, pisses and shits into the mouths of other bigfoot, eats his dead (and has never failed to, ie: because one left the range of the others), and picks up his hair tufts after all. Eventually all bigfoot believers start talking about aliens, shapeshifters, and inter dimensional furries, because evidence and truth matter not, they just want to believe in bigfoot.
Dont forget
>all the science is fake glowies are suppressing the truth
>glowies are suppressing the truth
we actually are
just not about bigfoot
>there's no evidence the Earth is round
Nice try.
There is evidence for a round earth. There is no evidence for bigfoot.
>There is NO evidence the Earth is round!
You're pathetic.
Pathetic? Says the moron /x/ tourist comparing a “cryptid” based on a hoax to the earth being round? Like I said, WHEN PRESSED A BIGFOOT NUTTER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT EVIDENCE, just believing in bigfoot. Come back when you have evidence instead of the same argument for a hoax video being real as christians have for eyes not evolving
>its too good otherwise!
Go back to your flat Earth and bestiality threads already and quit shitting up our thread.

Doubtful.

No they haven’t. Fake foot prints don’t have dermal ridges, scares, and mid tarsal breaks.
>no bones or scat
There has been scat found, as for bones show me the bones of gorillas or chimps that have died of natural causes. They barely have a fossil record.

Not him but even if you’re correct you should probably consider suicide. I hope they post a Bigfoot thread forever just to watch your trannie ass sperg out.
No they don’t.
How many of these DNA studies have been conducted? Who is conducting them? Where are they being conducted? Who is funding them? How accurate are they?
>flat earth
You’re starting to glow here.
You want rigor from other people but when it comes to your shit every single video is real just because it is
This is why no one believes in your ever increasingly fantastic creatures
>listen man, its been debunked. here's my evidence:
>it was really well made
>they even hid the wearers leg proportions by lengthening the torso
>the boots were ill fitting and hung off the foot so it would look like an ape walking
>somehow, bigfoot being real is more likely than this costume being well made!
No mate, thinking that video was real is flat earth territory.
How do you extend a torso
While shrinking the legs so they appear to have longer arms? Make torso of the suit longer.
They stay away from people.
The same reason why there’s no pics of you online, because they are VERY antisocial with humans nowadays for their own sake
same reason we get so few pics of unicorns and wild orcs
You ever see this footage before?
Ask yourself why, and then you might understand why we don't see more photo's of encounters.
Ol' Bob did a pretty good video discussing this subject.
Aquatic ape hypothesis
>Aquatic ape hypothesis
Haven't heard of that one.
Of the great apes, however, it seems that only humans and sasquatch are capable of swimming. None of the other great apes swim in the wild, though chimps can apparently be taught how to swim.
aquatic ape hypothesis is iirc the idea that humans evolved to adapt to aquatic life instead of going directly from arboreal to terrestrial
>Hardy suggested that we during the evolution have spent a considerable time on the coastlines and adapted to a semi-aquatic environment, not on the hot dry savannah or in the forest with the other primates.
That's interesting. I could see that happening.
https://theaquaticape.org/human-evolution/aat/
i think humans just developed aquatic adaptations because early settlements were always near a source of fresh water, so being able to swim was advantageous
>early settlements were always near a source of fresh water, so being able to swim was advantageous
True. Did those settlements expand from the coast though, as that theory would suggest?
I can see how primates would seperate in search of competition free resources, and once found, would adapt to maximize the ability to harvest those resources.
>I can see how primates would seperate
I'm convinced that it's going to one day be discovered and accepted that hominid like species co-evolved together rather than one at a time as it is currently thought. These co-evolved hominids eventually competed with each other for territory and resources and basically killed each other off until only homosapiens remained en mass.
Do you have any videos on this. I've seen done by Robert Sepher, but does anyone else talk about it?
Here is the whole Patterson-Gimlin Film about the sasquatch, there is some rare frames here.
I've heard interviews from Bob Gimlin from back in the 70's all the way up to the 2000's, and his story never changes no matter what kind of questions people ask. That's one of the key elements of truth due to the fact that people can't remember all the lies they tell, but they can always remember the truth because it actually happened.
This thread is probably the nicest, least autistic, and most agreeable thread on the board.

OP's a good fella, so it's a good thing when he does it. frick the screeching morons on this board.
>nnnnnoooooo you can’t discuss bigfoot here because it’s not real ahhhh mods help
As opposed to the speculative evolution threads? Those creatures are 100% made up. You don’t have to come into this thread.
fair enough point, but community moderation leaves it up to the whims of the community.
if you have to spend most of your thread defending your right to be here, you should probably take the hint and go to a more appropriate board.
Why don't you take your own advice and frick off back to your bestiality threads.
I report zoo threads but it's like reporting racists in /misc/
You are the only person on this board that gives a shit. You constantly spam these threads.
Mods are too busy posting lemur porn. Keep coping.

Just gotta figure out the smaller details of the stuff like why kids get abducted by them or regular apes and monkeys is a certain thing
>why kids get abducted by them
Interestingly enough, I bet some, and I do mean SOME, of the kids that get snatched up are snatched up by younger sasquatch, or females, that view our kids much in the same way we view baby animals. Our kids love puppies, kittens, and pretty much any baby animal, and bring them home, and I bet young sasquatch do the same. I bet when the younger sasquatch bring the human back "home", the adults tell them "no, you can't keep it, put it back", or they die to exposure / starvation, or worse yet, they get eaten by the adults.
Here's a case that happened in North Carolina where a small kid went missing for 3 days before being found, and when he was found, he told his family that a "bear" kept him warm. This took place during the 3rd week in January....well into the hibernation season of bears.
The evidence seems to demonstrate that sasquatch don't view humans as a primary food source, but in times of scarcity, like winter, they could view humans, and especially kids, as easy prey.
>times of scarcity, like winter, they could view humans, and especially kids, as easy prey.
This is what happens with tigers, lions, and even chimps from time to time. Once they prey on humans, then it becomes a go to food source.
Read somewhere a couple years back that chimps were sneaking into villages in Africa and stealing human babies to eat them because of a severe droght that limited their normal food sources.
And some people think coons are bad...
https://www.the-sun.com/lifestyle/tech-old/45383/chimps-kill-and-eat-children-in-ugandan-village-in-terrifying-repeat-attacks/
This is what happens when humans stop killing animals that encroach on their territory. The animals lose their fear, exploit our apathy, and attack us.
So that explains why there’s so much torture shit online for apes
Chimps are buttholes. I think baboons do the same thing because they're c**ts too and will steal human babies if possible. Surprised the Africans haven't genocided them, tbh.
Gorillas are pretty much the only primates that keep to themselves and don't frick with people.
Orangutans?
Male orangutan are solitary and have been known to enter villages and rape human women. They're buttholes, but just not as much as are chimps.
afraid of going to war
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gombe_Chimpanzee_War
Yea, but considering they murdered each other with machetes and AK's, I would think they would slaughter the shit out of chimps....then eat them.
Primate social structures.
>Humans
Social. Communities consist of family units.
>Chimpanzees
Social. Communities fairly similar to humans.
>Gorilla
Semi-social. Exist in male dominated family groups and females from outside the families.
>Orangutan
Solitary. Males live alone in a territory. Females seek out males for reproduction and raise their young alone.
>Sasquatch
Largely unknown. Believed to exist in semi-social structures similar to gorillas.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of social structure? Communities seem to be more successful, but also have a greater negative impact on resource use. The semi-social structure seems provide a group advantage without the excess reliance on resources. The solitary structure seems to put the less stress on resources while sacrificing group advantages.
>Largely unknown
From what I've been able to piece together after listening to tons of accounts, they form small family groups consisting of a male, a female, and their children (up to like 3 or 4 kids, maybe more). The group stays together until the male children reach a certain age. Those then go off and sometimes form bans until they get big enough and leave to make their own family units. Now don't know if young females go off like males, but they might just stay with their family group until a roaming male picks them up. I have heard of lone adult females though, sometimes with babies but no male (could be what patty was), but there's definitely more lone fully grown males- they probably never found mates.
Seems fairly similar to Orangutans. Gorillas can live around 40 years and take about 10 years to reach breeding age. Sasquatch probably have similar lifespans and take about as long to reach maturity. I imagine that's one of the reasons their numbers are low, and why it would take them a long time to recover due to disease, hunting, or habitat loss.
bump for watching an /x/ thread die a slow painful death outside it's protective bubble
>protective bubble
Don’t you mean ramming into a grinder at 300000 miles per hour if it’s not about demon fricking?
not sure, I hate /x/ and don't go there
From experience /x/ threads die at Mach speed, and they generally don’t like cryptid or posting on cryptid threads vs here being much more calm and actually good to discuss an ape, that’s the general idea
>actually good to discuss an ape
Pretty much seems to be. They're alleged to share similar behaviors of apes.
Bump for the dream
Shut the frick up glowie
Why would a primate develop bipedal locomotion while maintaining long arms the way sasquatch do? Do they live in trees and walk as a quadraped when they are young before transitioning to bipedal locomotion when older? Do the long arms allow for quadrapedal locomotion for stealth for hunting?
Wish we could capture one and study it to learn more about the anatomy.
Some witnesses claim to see them move quadrupedally over short distances.
I would think that might be a compromise evolution made in the species? 4 limbs moving with coordination is faster than 2 legs, and even crocs and gators can outrun dogs and horses in short spurts. Maybe the long arms allow for fast bursts of quadrapedic locomotion that could render an advantage for hunting? Maybe they kept their long arms for hunting purposes while humans sacrificed quadrapedic locomotion in favor of brains and intelligence that allowed us to design tools to replace that locomotion ability.
bump
Humans did not evolve from primates, it was actually convergent evolution of primates to become more like humans
My idea because i know nothing about bigfoot besides the pics and history channel stuff:
Humans and a lot of animals crossed the Behring strait and Pongos (asian apes) may have crossed to America, it was discovered that dinosaurs survived a bit more (some extra million years)in the US and primitive mammals had contact with amerindians in COlombia
That's kinda what Bob Gymlan says.
Who's Bob Gymlan?
Very good Bigfoot and cryptid YouTuber, doesn’t upload much but quality isn’t schizo shit
>quality isn’t schizo shit
Schizo bigfoot video's reminds me of Nz TV where every video is in huge capital letter and most of the videos are just dudes talking about their sightings even though the title implies there's footage of bigfoot in the video
Also the guy believes in Dogman and it's very hard to get people to believe in one thing when you're also spouting weird shit about something even less plausible. The dogman videos he shows are clear fakes anyway
>OP makes a thinly disguised Bigfoot thread and repeats the same bullshit that's been btfo everytime he posts.
It's all so tiring.
>humans can't hunch their heads and walk sorta funny
Nothing was Btfo. If anything it’s you who where Btfo and now that you’ve had the Jannies banished the Bigfoot thread to /x/ have conveniently forgotten about it. I’ve seen this arguing tactic before.
Yeah they want Bigfoot thread on basically a shitty fast thread dying containment board that modern /x/ is on instead of a more real board like Wauf is for discussion
This Doc gives a really interesting look as to how different early primate species developed and how they evolved into becoming bipedal ground walking animals and how some evolved niche characteristics that helped the compete or put perform other species causing some to go extinct or cross breed into what humans eventually became.
Nice. Kind of odd how humans have developed and adapted our technology to increase hunting, farming, and environment control over thousands of years, and yet our primate kin operate pretty much the same. I'd think that chimps would be using spears for hunting now, at the least, or ambush prey from above with rocks, but they've seemingly made no further adaptations to their environment.
What are you talking about?
Orangutan build structures and use tools to get food. Not to mention they have a verbal language passed down from mother to children that changes over distance into regional dialects.
That being said, a big driving factor that lead Hominids to be hominids is that they were from a jungle like monkeys and a shift in the local climate lead the forests to start thinning out into Savannah, which promotes popping up on your hind legs to look around for lions and predators.
The ones who could stand up taller and longer went on to raise more lanklet moneys until pelvises started to turn and the opposable digit straitened out for better balance and locomotion.
Then, with the hands free in this new bipedal gait they were free to make tools, and carry things. One of the important things you can carry is fire, which lets you make a camp every night for protection and cooking without needing the material to start fire from scratch. You just carry an ember in some moss and pine straw until you're ready to set up camp for the night. Then you use that ember to start a fire, and blamo. Then just take a hot coal the next morning, and the process continues.
Another way to think of it is that the great apes remained in the environments they evolved into. Hominids are the descendants of the apes who left those environments, and had to adapt to a new niche. One that happened to break the meta.
>What are you talking about?
I guess intellectual evolution? Humans have developed and adapted so many new tools to complete tasks, and yet our primate kin seem to be stuck in a developmental rut.
>You just carry an ember in some moss and pine straw
Virgin ember carrier vs chad flint and stone user
there's a clip somewhere of a wild chimp using a spear to skewer a bush baby in a tree hollow
These little motherfrickers should be running around with spears or throwing rocks as a group, imo.
where you'd put the dragon threads then?
Interesting how the arm length changes. The gibbon, like chimps, tangs and gorilla, has longer arms than the legs, and all are either aroboreal or quadrapeds. The sasquatch has arms that are almost the same length as the legs, which suggests a hybrid of quad and bipedal locomotion capabilities. The man has arms that are way shorter than the legs, which suggest an inferior ability to use bipedal locomotion.
Notice how the posture of the gibbon and sasquatch differs from the human, as both lean much further forward than the man, and neither lock out their legs when they walk. Interesting evolutionary impact on the anatomy imo.
I know bigfoot is real, but can we please just agree that picrel is fake? Anyone who has even a little bit of photoshop experience can turn the body on the right into the body on the left with the liquify tool.
I'd agree that the pic on the left is a gorilla.
There were 3 different set of tracks found in the area, and one of the theories is that the female walked off in order to draw attention away from offspring in the area.
This is a primate thread. Sasquatch may or may not be part of the primate family, however, this thread is for comparing ALL primates, be they recognized or not.
This is like those illusions were half of people see one thing and the other half see another.
Why don't you people discuss this insane shit on /x/?
Not OP, but I'd rather it be the best thread on this slow, cesspool board than a throwaway one on a bigger board like /x/.
>the best thread
fricking moron
Go back to posting about fricking lemurs then
The lemur guy is way less annoying than bigfootgay
Neither are going away and there's nothing you can do about it.
>there's nothing you can do about it.
there actually is something I could do about it.
>Jannies save me
One again, this place is a shit hole and you're stuck here bumping a saquatch thread you're seething about.
It's not like it's getting any other attention. the thread is a failure and I think OP should figure that out.
the sooner the better.
>discuss this insane shit on /x/?
First, this thread is about primates, ALL primates, including unrecognized species, which means it belongs on the animals and nature board. Second, /x/ is for the paranormal, and the paranormal don't leave footprints behind, as do primates, including sasquatch. Finally, why don't you stick to your bestiality threads instead of shitting up ours.
Paranormal doesn’t leave footprints
Hoaxsters looking for 15 minutes of fame fake them though, and then morons like you interpret all the various fakes as proof of widely varying foot morphology.
>this thread is about primates, ALL primates, including unrecognized species
bigfoot isn't a primate because primates are real
Sauce? Debunk the movie. Debunk the foot prints. Pro tip you can’t.
>Debunk the movie.
that's not how reality works, schizo boy.
I have a nuclear reactor in my pocket that magically destroys your nipple skin cells whenever I press a button, and you can't prove I don't so it must be true.
see, you're a fricking moron if you believe every thing ever just because you can't debunk it.
So you can’t debunk the video? Got it? You seem like a very angry troll that needs to go back to his dinosaurs fricking thread.
It's not my job to debunk things for you
my job is to tell you you're crazy for believing in stuff just because you can't debunk it.
not like "haha he's so crazy," but actually mentally ill and shouldn't be allowed on the internets
Nice spacing. Let me guess you live in a large metropolis or at the very least have never spent a large amount of time in very remote areas?
I grew up around Salem Oregon, where we make up bigfoot stories to entertain tourists.
sometimes the tourists get obsessed and think bigfoot is actually real. We sell those fools bigfoot keychains and posters. I bet you have a bigfoot keychain or poster, huh?
Nope. I wouldn’t call that area remote. When are you going to transition?
I feel like if one schizo on Wauf gets hospitalized, the entire board will go down.
Sure, Ms. Heard. Sure.
You can't stop bigfoot threads.

>Better for seeing longer distances or over tall grass on an open savannah, and later better for running
I'd imagine that a shift to bipedal locomotion would allow for the advent of greater tool usage due to the ability to carry something in the hands. I'd also imagine that the ability to use tools would drive the intelligence to explore different ways to create and employ those tools.
Perhaps that's what drove humans to achieve what they have, and what limits our primate peers that lack bipedal locomotion capabilities.

Nope. Your cope isn't nice. Cute try, though.

This was part of it too. It likely wasn't for any one specific purpose but a combination
