Bigfoot Is No Ape, Primatologist Says

Posted on October 5, 2009 by Lisa A. Shiel

“If it’s real, this animal is exceedingly human-like,” [Esteban] Sarmiento said. “It would be our closest relative on earth.”–read the source article
I’ve been saying this for a long time, particularly in my book Backyard Bigfoot. Sarmiento has studied apes, and says the Bigfoot seen in the Patterson film does not look like an ape but, [...]

Bigfoot, Chimps, and Hominids

Posted on September 14, 2009 by Lisa A. Shiel

Chimpanzees represent humanity’s closest living relative, genetically speaking. We share as much as 99% of our DNA with them. If you’ve read much of my blog, or my book Backyard Bigfoot, you know that I believe humans did not evolve from the ancient hominids—Bigfoot did. So, if Bigfoot descended from the ancient hominids, then they [...]

    • Molecular Clocks Tick Too Slow? November 25, 2009
      Genetic analysis has become a staple of evolutionary research. Determinations of evolutionary relationships between species often rely on molecular clocks, or the idea that we can backtrack genetic mutations to their time of origin like counting days backward on a calendar. The notion of molecular clocks assumes that mutations happen like, well, clockwork. B […]
    • Disease Genetics: A Bankrupt Idea? November 23, 2009
      Last week DeCode Genetics, one of the top companies hunting for genetic keys to diseases, filed for bankruptcy. Despite years of studying Icelandic populations the company had failed to find any common genes for diseases such as cancer. This idea, known as common disease/common variant, has long held sway in the genetics community. Geneticists thought [...]
    • Have Scientists Understated Genetic Diversity? November 18, 2009
      We’ve all heard that humans and chimpanzees share about 98% of our DNA. If we flip that around, then we differ by only 2%. Yet the tiniest differences can make all the difference, it turns out. Most animals and birds have the gene called FOXP2, often erroneously labeled the “language gene.” Humans and chimps both [...]
    • Exploring the Eonic Effect November 17, 2009
      I recently had the chance to read World History and the Eonic Effect: Civilization, Darwinism, and Theories of Evolution by John Landon. In this book Landon proposes that cultural evolution advances in steps, much like the idea of punctuated equilibrium in biological evolution. Has human culture advanced in spurts, driven by nonrandom forces? Landon makes [. […]

The events that transpired on the evening of November 23, 1953, have become a part of UFO lore. Nobody knows what [...]
    • No Ghost Hunting Allowed November 11, 2009
      There will be no township-sanctioned “Ghostbusters” probe at the old Crouch Cemetery later this month. Monday night the Spring Arbor Township Board denied a Tekonsha man’s request to spend the night of Nov. 21-22 in the cemetery doing a paranormal investigation into the 1883 Crouch murders.

    • Cougars Confirmed in Upper Michigan November 4, 2009
      I’ve seen one a few hundred feet from my house here on the Keweenaw Peninsula. I’ve talked to others who’ve seen them too, in various spots around the Upper Peninsula.  Now the DNR has confirmed there are cougars in the UP, thanks to a game camera photos and some tracks.
