Bigfoot

Bigfoot may have evolved from an extinct specie of ape known as Gigantopithecus.
That is, if Bigfoot does indeed actually exist.
Gigantopithecus was a knuckle walker like the great apes of today,
and I see no reason why it couldn't have evolved into a bi pedal way.
Gigantopithecus fossils have been found throughout Europe and Asia.
It could have very well have crossed what is now known as the bering strait
without getting its feet wet into a very, very ancient America.
So yes, I'd say it's very possible that Bigfoot does actually exist.
Bigfoot could very well be a descendant of Gigantopithecus.
If you are out there Bigfoot, heed my words seriously.
Keep yourself in hiding or in a laboratory you'll be.

William, I think that Bigfoot is part of human subspecies. From Jacob and Esau possibly, (Twins in the Bible...) I have posted it in my journal on Redbubble. Here's the link => http://www.redbubble.com/people/daneann/journal <= I have written an essay (or narrative poem) about Esau in the Bible...hairy as a goat...being a Bigfoot. Go see! It was a fun write, but too big for the soup. Let me know what you think. (It mentions smooth skinned men and "goat-skinned" men living together...)
