00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.960
Now one of your pudding. I
got a string going on here, something

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.919
just cause my dog. Something killed
your dog, my dog. We're flying

3
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:10.160
through the or over the tree.
I don't know how it did it,

4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.960
Okay, Damn, I'm really confused. All I saw is my dog coming

5
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.199
over the fence and he was dead. And once you hit the ground like,

6
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.879
I didn't see any cars. All
I saw was my dog coming over

7
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:41.320
the fence. Sat what are you
putting? We got some wonder or something

8
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:52.039
crawling around out here? Did you
see what it was? Or was it

9
00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:54.799
was? Standing enough? I'm out
here looking through the window now and I

10
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.079
don't see anything. I don't want
to go outside. Jesus Chraice, you

11
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:06.239
better, Hello, Ghet, somebody
out here? What quen? I'm Outair's

12
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:10.480
got of aventures about tech forty nine? I don't know easy amount, Yes,

13
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.439
I'm right. Oh, hello and
welcome to Sasquatch Odyssey. Brian has

14
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.200
asked me to be your guide on
this midweek bonus episode as we take a

15
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:23.480
trip across the pond to explore the
Australian Yowi. We start with a quick

16
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.480
story about Tim the Yowiman, who, although he has had his fair share

17
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.799
of experiences in the bush, remained
skeptical about the existence of these hairy,

18
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.799
bipedal creatures. From there, we'll
head off into the Blue Mountains and join

19
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:40.760
the Blue Mountain Cryptid Research Group.
There we will explore their findings and take

20
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:44.840
a look at some theories on the
Yowi as well as the North American Sasquatch.

21
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.079
Tim the Yowi man known for his
fascination with the strange and unusual,

22
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:55.040
led an ordinary life until a fateful
camping trip near the Snowy Mountains. It

23
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:57.120
was on this trip that he witnessed
something in the bush that would set him

24
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:01.560
on a lifelong journey into the paranor. Ever since he was a child,

25
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.680
Tim had been intrigued by mysterious occurrences. However, it wasn't until nineteen ninety

26
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:12.400
four, during his camping expedition near
Canberra that his curiosity reached its peak.

27
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.599
One night, he came face to
face with a creature he couldn't identify,

28
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:21.319
sending shivers down his spine. When
he shared his experience with others, they

29
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.800
informed him that he had encountered the
infamous Yowi. At the time, Tim

30
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:30.439
had no knowledge that the Yowi was
Australia's version of the legendary Bigfoot from America.

31
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.000
Described as a hairy, ape like
creature standing over two meters tall,

32
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.800
the Yowi was deeply rooted in Aboriginal
legends. This encounter ignited a five year

33
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:46.319
project for Tim. He dedicated himself
to interviewing individuals who had encountered similar creatures,

34
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.560
not only in Australia but also around
the world. Despite his efforts,

35
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:53.840
he failed to gather any concrete evidence
or have further encounters with the Yowi.

36
00:02:54.719 --> 00:03:00.560
Nevertheless, this experience opened Tim's eyes
to the abundance of mysterious stories, not

37
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:05.319
only in Australia but also globally.
Now forty four years old, Tim has

38
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.719
expanded his expertise from Yowie's to anything
that goes bump in the night. He

39
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:14.240
travels the world following leeds from fans
of his books in search of ghostly and

40
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:20.159
peculiar phenomena. When asked about his
creepiest Australian experience, Tim recalled an incident

41
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.319
off the coast of Western Australia.
He had dived on the shipwreck Alkimos,

42
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:28.759
which was rumored to bring bad luck
to anyone who dared touch it. Initially

43
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.199
skeptical of the curse, Tim's perspective
changed when a freak wave washed him against

44
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:36.919
the wreck, resulting in a cut
on his hand. From that moment on,

45
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.840
he experienced three weeks of unimaginable misfortune, including being head butted by a

46
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.960
camel, breaking car keys in a
remote area, and his girlfriend unexpectedly leaving

47
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:51.560
the country for three years. Coincidentally, during this period, the magazines that

48
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.039
funded his adventures went bankrupt. In
an attempt to reverse his luck, Tim

49
00:03:55.120 --> 00:04:00.120
returned to Perth, touched the wreck
again and offered his apologies. Miraculously,

50
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.879
his fortune changed for the better.
Another eerielocation that Tim considers one of the

51
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:11.599
creepiest in Australia is Black Mountain near
Cairns. Despite his extensive experiences, Tim

52
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.600
remains a skeptic. He identifies himself
as a gatherer of supernatural evidence, but

53
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:20.680
maintains an open mind. After more
than two decades of exploring the unexplained.

54
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:27.600
He strives to explain phenomena using science
and available resources. However, he acknowledges

55
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.560
that some occurrences may defy explanation and
lie beyond the limits of human understanding.

56
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:38.720
There is abundant and diverse evidence of
cryptic common at activity known as yowie's in

57
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:43.519
the Blue Mountains, located west of
Sydney in New South Wales. This evidence

58
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:47.160
includes physical signs like footprints and damage
to trees and foliage, as well as

59
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:53.319
numerous eye witness sightings over an extended
period of time. While local residents are

60
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:57.720
often aware of the presence of these
creatures, this knowledge rarely reaches the general

61
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.160
public. However, a loose collectiveness
known as the Blue Mountain's Cryptid Research,

62
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:06.040
along with other individuals, are actively
studying yowi's and their behaviour in the region,

63
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.720
using various approaches to provide a glimpse
into the evidence. A few examples

64
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.800
of encounters with these creatures will be
presented, which should serve as a starting

65
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.720
point for more detailed descriptions by other
researchers. Different theories about the origins of

66
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.399
yooi's will also be discussed. Some
authors favor an evolutionary perspective, suggesting that

67
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:30.680
yaowis are a species of normal animals
that have evolved over millions of years and

68
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:36.160
are indigenous to Australia. On the
other hand, some investigators and eyewitnesses highlight

69
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:44.800
peculiarities and strangeness associated with yowi reports, proposing alternative explanations, including psychic phenomena.

70
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:50.240
Yawi research within Australia is thriving and
represented by numerous groups and individuals who

71
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:56.720
can be broadly categorized as amateur researchers
and documenters. Unlike the situation in the

72
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.800
United States, where there is often
limited cooperation between different bigfoot research groups,

73
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.879
there appears to be a greater sense
of collaboration among Australian researchers, with only

74
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:12.120
a few individuals deviating from this trend. Notably, the bounty hunter's style of

75
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.319
investigators whose primary goal is to shoot
a bigfoot is not present in the Australian

76
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:21.759
context. However, it is important
to provide a disclaimer. The purpose of

77
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:27.040
this presentation is not to convince skeptics
or the general public of the existence of

78
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:30.800
yooi's, as we believe that there
is already ample evidence available. However,

79
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.079
we understand that those with little knowledge
of the field may find this approach unusual.

80
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:41.439
Nonetheless, the case histories presented in
this episode will provide casual observers with

81
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:46.160
the wealth of circumstantial evidence. We
will share accounts from two residents of the

82
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.720
Blue Mountains, which represent only a
fraction of the existing evidence. During my

83
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.040
early youth, I heard about yowis
from my uncle who used to live in

84
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.360
the Hunter Valley and had encountered them
on the banks of the Hunter River.

85
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.319
My own potentially counter with a yowie
took place north of Sydney. On our

86
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.639
way back from a trip to the
North Coast. My mother and I decided

87
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.639
to take a back road to Sydney
in order to avoid the usual traffic congestion

88
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:15.000
near Wyon. This road leads from
Central Mangrove to Calgar and eventually to Mount

89
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.800
White. This bush area connects to
the Wattagans in the north, kuring Guy

90
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.759
in the south, and Yengo National
Park in the west, eventually leading to

91
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:29.600
the vast Wallamy Wilderness. The road
we were traveling on was long and straight,

92
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.519
heading south from Central Mangrove. Despite
it being nighttime, the straight road

93
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.279
allowed us to see quite far ahead
in the headlights. It was my brother

94
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.800
who first noticed a large figure on
the left hand side of the road some

95
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:46.439
distance ahead and alerted us to it. We all then spotted a sizable shape

96
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.040
standing at the edge of the bush. Due to the darkness we couldn't make

97
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:54.480
out specific details of what it was. As our car approached and passed the

98
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.959
shape, it turned and quickly retreated
into the bush. Intrigued, we turned

99
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.800
to look out of the back wind
window of the car, only to see

100
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.439
the shape disappearing into the depths of
the bush. We were all taken aback

101
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.240
by the figure we encountered on the
road that night. Its sheer size,

102
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.480
standing at least six or seven feet
tall and with a solid build, ruled

103
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.560
out the possibility of it being a
kangaroo. The curiosity got the better of

104
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.480
us, and I urged my mother
to turn the car around so we could

105
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:26.519
investigate further. However, she refused, citing a strange sense of unease that

106
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:31.000
had come over her. She pressed
harder on the accelerator, leaving the mysterious

107
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.559
figure behind us. While I don't
personally know of any other reports from that

108
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.799
specific area, I wouldn't be surprised
if others have had similar experiences. In

109
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.240
fact, there have been reports of
Yowie's in the vicinity of Woi Woi,

110
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.519
which is about ten kilometers south of
where we encountered the figure. A few

111
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.480
years later, during Easter of nineteen
seventy nine, I found myself camping with

112
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.519
a large group of people in the
remote wilderness north of Yarrangobli, within the

113
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.879
Kasiusco National Park. We had ventured
far from civilization, taking a fire trail

114
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.279
that led us thirty kilometers away from
the nearest town. Our camp site was

115
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.879
a few kilometers south of Michelago Peak. After spending a few hours around the

116
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.480
camp fire listening to the distant howls
of dingoes as they approached the nearby creek,

117
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.080
we settled down for the night.
However, our peaceful slumber was abruptly

118
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.600
interrupted in the early hours of the
morning. A bone chilling howling, bellowing

119
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.120
and screaming pierced through the night.
My friend and I jolted awake, paralyzed

120
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.519
with fear as the sound reverberated through
the air. It seemed to originate from

121
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:37.960
a valley or two away, as
it was incredibly loud yet distant. Over

122
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:41.519
the course of the next ten minutes, the howling drew nearer, but just

123
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.440
before it became too close for comfort, it abruptly ceased. Describing the sound

124
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.120
as a challenge, but it can
only be likened to a combination of bellowing,

125
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.120
roaring and screaming. The most striking
aspect was its deep and booming quality,

126
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:58.240
reminiscent of sounds one would expect to
hear in a dense jungle rather than

127
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.799
the eucalyptus forests of New South Wales. It felt completely out of place,

128
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.120
wrong. Even to this day,
I have never encountered anything else like it.

129
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:13.440
These personal encounters serve as a mere
glimpse into the wealth of evidence surrounding

130
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:16.799
Yowi's in the Blue Mountains region.
While some may question the validity of these

131
00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:22.399
accounts, we believe that they contribute
to a broader understanding of these elusive creatures.

132
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.720
It is important to approach this subject
with an open mind and consider the

133
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.440
various perspectives and theories put forth by
researchers and eyewitnesses alike. The Blue Mountain's

134
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.120
Cryptid Research or BMCR is a collective
of individuals who share a common interest in

135
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:41.759
the Yawi phenomenon in the Blue Mountains. Many of these members initially connected through

136
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.000
their interactions with Aaron Dean Harrison,
and they have since formed a network to

137
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.360
collaborate and share their findings. While
some members prefer to remain anonymous for personal

138
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.519
reasons, There are also other researchers
in the area, such as Paul Cropper,

139
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.600
Tony Healey, Neil Frost, and
Rex Gilroy, who conduct their own

140
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:05.039
investors and occasionally communicate with the BMCR. The BMCR aims to create an open

141
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:11.639
forum for investigators and local residents to
exchange experiences and ideas, primarily through an

142
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.279
email group. By fostering communication,
the collective hopes to facilitate a better understanding

143
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.679
of these creatures and their behavior.
In their research, the BMCR tends to

144
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:26.279
use terms like bush ape or hairy
man instead of yowie to avoid the sensationalism

145
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:31.399
often associated with the latter term.
They believe that sensationalism can attract the wrong

146
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.639
kind of attention and potentially harm these
potentially endangered species. In fact, some

147
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.200
members of the BMCR even argue that
the best way to preserve these creatures is

148
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.600
to keep their existence as secret.
The primary goal of the BMCR is to

149
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.320
study the behavior of the bush ape
and gain a deeper understanding of it.

150
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.320
They are also interested in exploring theories
about the origins of these creatures and welcome

151
00:11:54.399 --> 00:12:00.679
discussions on the subject. By taking
a reserved and scientific approach, the BMCR

152
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:05.799
aims to demystify the yaoi phenomenon and
contribute to the broader knowledge of these cryptids.

153
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.720
Our approach to the study of these
fascinating creatures is centered around a deep

154
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:16.440
respect for their natural habitat, rather
than invasive methods or disruptive intrusions. We

155
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.559
firmly believe that the most effective approach
is to immerse ourselves in their environment,

156
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:24.360
spending ample time in a specific location
with only a small group of individuals.

157
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.240
This approach aligns with the practices of
renowned primate investigators like Diane Fosse and Jane

158
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.720
goodare aiming to establish a bond between
researchers and a particular group of creatures while

159
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:41.919
gaining valuable insights into their behavior.
Given the time constraints faced by most researchers,

160
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.440
this process will be gradual and ongoing, with occasional pauses and bursts of

161
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.240
progress. Currently, we are directing
our attention towards an active area that is

162
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.120
separate from the main regions near Jerry
and Nell's place. This choice is driven

163
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:01.399
by the need to respect the privacy
of the residents and to avoid disrupting any

164
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.960
developing relationships between them and their respective
yoois. In pursuing our study objectives,

165
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.559
we consider ourselves as a blend of
amateur documenters, scientists, and researchers.

166
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.840
While capturing footage of these creatures and
discovering a type specimen such as a deceased

167
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.559
body would be highly valuable, our
primary focus at this moment is on studying

168
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.720
and documenting their existence. What exactly
is a yowi? Well, that's a

169
00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:30.879
question that doesn't have a clear answer. The lack of physical evidence makes it

170
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:33.720
difficult to come to a definitive conclusion. All we have to go on our

171
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:39.399
eyewitness reports and the signs left behind
by these mysterious creatures. From a scientific

172
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:46.360
standpoint, these shreds of evidence provide
valuable information for speculation. There are various

173
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.720
theories about what a yowi could be. Some believe they are descendants of giant

174
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:54.639
Asian apes, while others lean towards
a more mystical explanation, suggesting that these

175
00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:01.320
creatures possess paranormal attributes. However,
we can't delve into this aspect further due

176
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.320
to the lack of personal experiences supporting
it. The authors of this presentation believe

177
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:11.120
that yaoi's are most likely descendants of
ancient hominids that migrated southward through Asia.

178
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.639
Somehow they managed to cross the formidable
geographical barriers known as the Wallace Line,

179
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.399
which has prevented other Asian megafauna from
reaching Australia with the exception of Homo sapiens.

180
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:26.039
We will explore this idea in more
detail later on. Now, let's

181
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.720
consider some more mundane explanations for the
Yaui phenomenon. In this talk, we

182
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.039
will approach it from an evolutionary perspective. While it may not be as exciting

183
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.120
as the paranormal approach, we currently
find this theory to be the most plausible.

184
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.639
However, we still acknowledge that the
existence of a large bipedal primate in

185
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:50.000
Australia without widespread detection is intriguing in
itself. There are certain aspects of sightings

186
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.240
that suggest there may be more to
yaoi's than just flesh and blood. Perhaps

187
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.159
there are still unknown factors at play, As is the case with many natural

188
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:03.759
phenomena, we remain open to new
ideas. However, it is important to

189
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.960
note that attributing paranormal qualities to explain
unexplainable aspects of Yowi experiences is akin to

190
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:15.159
using one unexplained phenomenon to explain another. As Poor Cropper has eloquently put it,

191
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:20.639
a limited experience in an environment inhabited
by yowis prevents us from fully understanding

192
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.879
their existence and ancestry, leading us
to propose a mundane theory. The majority

193
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:31.240
of reliable reports regarding Yooi's depict them
as resembling upright gorillas, occasionally resembling orangutans.

194
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.039
However, there are few distinguishing features
that differentiate them from gorillas and give

195
00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:41.480
them a more humanlike appearance. They
are sometimes described as ape like men,

196
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.879
but their apelike characteristics outweigh their human
like ones. These characteristics include their immense

197
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.320
size, hairy bodies, long arms, and notably the absence of a discernible

198
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.519
neck. Additionally, subtle features like
prominent canines suggest a closer relation to the

199
00:15:56.559 --> 00:16:00.720
great apes rather than humans. In
light of this evidence, it is clear

200
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:07.519
that yaois belong to the primate family
tree. Behavioral evidence further supports the notion

201
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.559
that yaois are more closely aligned with
the great apes, although certainty in this

202
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.960
field is elusive. Their behavior includes
bellowing, stomping their feet, occasionally running

203
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:22.279
on all fours and exhibiting a semi
nomadic lifestyle by constructing new nests each day.

204
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:26.080
This addresses the commonly asked question of
why we haven't discovered their dwellings.

205
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:32.919
These behaviors closely resemble those of guerrillas
and orangutans. Moreover, the absence of

206
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:37.440
evidence regarding permanent shelters and complex tool
usage provides insight into their place within the

207
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:42.120
primate family. It suggests that they
diverge from the family tree later than the

208
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:48.960
great apes, possibly sharing a closer
relationship with humans. In conclusion, while

209
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.279
our understanding of Yaoi's is limited,
the available evidence strongly indicates their affiliation with

210
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:59.440
the primate family, particularly the great
apes. However, the possibility remains that

211
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.440
they may have done verged from this
lineage at a later stage, potentially sharing

212
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.960
a closer connection with humans. Let's
begin by summarizing the different types of upright

213
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.039
by pedal apes and humans known as
hominids that have existed in the past.

214
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.559
It is reasonable to assume that all
of these beings had some form of language,

215
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:21.440
even if it was less advanced than
our own. Considering that even tribes

216
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:29.599
of wild chimpanzees have simple sign language, dialects grassile ostrolopithecenes. This term encompasses

217
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.079
various small and lightly built upright by
pedal primates, some of which may be

218
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.720
ancestors of humans or a separate side
branch of hominids. They lived in East

219
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.279
and Southern Africa and likely originated earlier
than four point two million years ago.

220
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.039
The final types of grassile ostrolopithscenes lived
until around two and a half million years

221
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.960
ago or possibly later. At Letally
Tanzania, footprints believed to belong to a

222
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:59.839
three point seven million year old grassile
ostrolopithscenes have been discovered. These footprints are

223
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:04.880
the oldest known evidence of a human
like structure displaying an arch. Robust Ostrolopithus

224
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:11.119
scenes also known as paranthropus. This
category includes various groups that are similar to

225
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:15.480
the grascile ostrolopith scenes but appear to
be a separate side branch. They lived

226
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:21.279
between approximately two point six and one
million years ago and exhibit stronger builds.

227
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:27.400
Some robust ostrolopith scenes have larger skull
crests and massive jaws. One particular type

228
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:33.440
known as ostrolopith scenes boise a zingnthropists
boise zinge or nutcracker man, due to

229
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.799
its enormous jaw, dates back to
around one point seven million years ago in

230
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:42.839
East Africa. Estimates of Zinga's maximum
height vary between five and six feet,

231
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.480
depending on whether one theorizes that their
long arms made them tall or simply that

232
00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:52.079
they had disproportionately long arms compared to
the rest of their bodies. As is

233
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.359
often the case with remains from creatures
of this age, skull and jaw remains

234
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:03.359
are more commonly preserved than other body
parts. Gigantopithecus, a massive primate,

235
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:07.960
roamed the lands of southern China,
Vietnam, and northern India between six million

236
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.880
years ago and five hundred thousand years
ago. Unfortunately, only teeth and jaws

237
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.480
have been discovered, leaving the debate
open on whether it walked on two or

238
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.519
four limbs. While most experts believe
it was a quadrupedal relative of the orangutan,

239
00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:26.240
a few scientists argue for its possible
bipedal nature, making it relevant to

240
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:33.119
this discussion. Doctor Groverkrantz in particular, presents a compelling case for including Gigantopithecus

241
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:37.519
in the hominid family tree. These
primates had large teeth, specially adapted for

242
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.039
herbivary, with canines that often showed
signs of being worn down due to their

243
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:47.720
diet. Moving on to Meganthropis,
this creature inhabited Indonesia approximately one million years

244
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.880
ago. Similar to Gigantopithecus, there
is a scarcity of remains. Although it

245
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.000
is generally believed to be a robust
form of homoerectus, it is still too

246
00:19:56.079 --> 00:20:02.960
early to make a definitive conclusion.
Some scientists have noticed similarities between meganthropis jaw

247
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.920
remains and those of the robust Ostrolopitheccenes, raising the intriguing possibility of an Asian

248
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:15.200
branch of Ostrolopithocene like hominids. Stay
tuned for more Sasquatchodasy will be right back

249
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:22.960
after these messages. Now, let's
delve into Homo rutal fences and Homo habilis,

250
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.720
two species that existed between two point
four million and one point six million

251
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:32.960
years ago. Whether they should be
classified as humans or ostrolopithoscenes is currently a

252
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.880
subject of debate. These early hominids
were the pioneers of advanced tool usage.

253
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:42.640
Rutal Fensis remains were taller and sturdier
compared to Habilis. They inhabited East Africa

254
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:48.640
and are often considered potential ancestors of
Homoerectus and Homo ergaster. However, their

255
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:56.160
direct lineage to modern humans remains a
contentious topic among experts. Homoerectus and Homo

256
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:00.599
Ergaster were ancient human species that existed
from approximately one point eight million years ago

257
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:06.759
to less than five hundred thousand years
ago. Their skeletal structure closely resembled that

258
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:11.440
of modern humans, but with a
more robust build. Their skulls had prominent

259
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.160
brow ridges and were more robust compared
to modern humans. The extent of their

260
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:21.480
hairiness remains unknown. These early humans
were skilled tool users and were likely the

261
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:26.119
first hominids to venture beyond Africa.
Homoerectus in particular, inhabited the Earth for

262
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:32.759
a longer period than any other human
species and spread across Eurasia. The distinction

263
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:37.079
between the last Homo erectus individuals and
early forms of Homo sapiens is somewhat blurry,

264
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:41.599
spanning from five hundred thousand to one
hundred fifty thousand years ago. This

265
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:48.759
suggests a gradual transition between these two
groups. Many consider homoergastera a human similar

266
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:55.119
to homoerectus to be the direct ancestor
of homohydelpagensis, Homo neandertalensis, and Homo

267
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.960
sapiens according to the out of Africa
theory. However, others believe that both

268
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:04.640
both erectus and Ergaster were ancestors of
Homo sapiens the multi regional theory. This

269
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:10.000
topic remains a subject of debate.
It is important to note that despite the

270
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:15.480
terms out of Africa and multi regional, both theories agree that humans originated in

271
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.039
Africa. They only differ in their
interpretations of the development of Homo sapiens.

272
00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:26.319
The possibility of interbreeding between distinct but
similar groups across Eurasia and Africa complicates the

273
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.880
identification of a direct ancestor for Homo
sapiens during this period. Some proponents of

274
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:37.799
the multi regional theory even argue that
homoerectus and Homo ergaster should be classified as

275
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:42.359
the same species as modern humans and
referred to as Homo sapiens. Archaic Homo

276
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:48.599
sapiens and homohydalbagensis are terms used to
describe a diverse range of humans who lived

277
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:52.480
approximately four hundred thousand to one hundred
thousand years ago. Possibly even as late

278
00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:57.559
as ten thousand years ago in Australia. They had slightly more robust skull structures

279
00:22:57.720 --> 00:23:03.960
and would have appeared indistinctinguishable from modern
humans if dressed and groomed accordingly. The

280
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:08.480
extent of their hairiness remains unknown.
These early humans seem to have roamed extensively.

281
00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:12.400
Some believe that the most recent remains
of such individuals are found in q

282
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:18.960
Swamp, Victoria, Australia, dating
back approximately ten thousand years. They may

283
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:22.200
have been the first human group to
inhabit the continent before being assimilated by later

284
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:29.680
tribes migrating from the north. Homo
sapiens neander talensis or Homo neander talensis,

285
00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:33.759
commonly known as neander talls, were
a group of humans who lived between one

286
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.640
hundred fifty thousand and thirty five thousand
years ago. They had a stronger skeletal

287
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:42.640
structure compared to modern Europeans and were
adapted to the environment of glaciated Europe.

288
00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.519
While it is uncertain how hairy they
were, their physical appearance would likely resemble

289
00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:52.799
that of a muscular person today.
Neander Talls were skilled tool users and practiced

290
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:57.720
burial rituals. They either when extinct
due to conflict with other Homo sapiens or

291
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:03.440
interbred with them. Recent evidence suggests
that Neanderthals were a separate species from Homo

292
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:11.039
sapiens, making into breeding unlikely but
not impossible. The understanding of various remains

293
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.359
is constantly evolving as new evidence is
discovered. It is believed that a group

294
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:22.039
of robust hominids known as Paranthropus or
robust Ostrolopithyscenes diverge from the human family tree

295
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:26.440
before two point six million years ago. Remains like meganthropists, may represent unknown

296
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:33.000
robust hominids that settled in Asia earlier
than one million years ago, potentially unrelated

297
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:40.279
to the robust ostralopithyscenes. Ostralopithecus boise
a demonstrates that apes or hairy people can

298
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:45.079
develop a bipedal skeleton, skull crests, and a height comparable to modern humans.

299
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:51.680
Inconsistencies in the reported appearance of hairy
bipedal primates are worth noting. Sasquatch

300
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:56.640
and the Yowie reports sometimes mention large
noses, with some resembling guerrilla noses.

301
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:00.920
No size is determined by cartilage and
bone struck, which can vary significantly on

302
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:07.759
human faces. Chimpanzees and gorillas have
less variation in no shape. The natural

303
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:12.319
variation in those types among early upright
by Peedal primates is unknown. The differing

304
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:18.440
reports of hairy man creatures having human
like or gorilla like faces may be attributed

305
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:22.440
to this variation. In those types. A creature with a large, prominent

306
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.400
nose would appear more human like,
while one with a small, flat nose

307
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:32.200
would resemble a gorilla more closely,
reports of the Australian hairy man and the

308
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:37.440
skunk apes in North America have spark
discussions about their unique features, particularly their

309
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:41.839
large canine teeth. Interestingly, evidence
of tree bites found in bloodward trees in

310
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:48.079
Australia seems to support these claims,
showing distinct marks from sizeable upper and lower

311
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:53.160
canines. This observation raises questions about
the evolutionary origins of these hairy creatures.

312
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:59.920
One intriguing aspect is that none of
the known by Peedal primate fossils exhibit prominent

313
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:04.720
canine teeth, whereas many non bipedal
primates do. This suggests that these hairy

314
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.880
men may have diverged from the primate
family tree at an earlier point, making

315
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:14.839
there bipedal stance, an example of
convergence. Alternatively, they could be descendants

316
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.559
of known by peedal primates, with
their prominent canines being a result of evolutionary

317
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:26.880
convergence, similar to the skull crests
seen in guerrillas and robust ostrolopithaccenes. Interestingly,

318
00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:30.720
not all sasquatches and other hairy men
are reported to have large canines.

319
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:36.319
This could be due to witnesses not
observing their teeth, or a significant difference

320
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:41.519
in canine size between males and females
of the species. Another possibility is that

321
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:45.279
vegetarian feeding habits in certain regions cause
the canines to wear down over time.

322
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:51.559
It is also plausible that large canines
are a regional variation among these creatures,

323
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:57.279
although the development of such variation seems
unlikely to occur rapidly. Contrary to popular

324
00:26:57.279 --> 00:27:00.799
belief, the footprints attributed to them, these creatures, which are not obvious

325
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:07.359
hoaxes, do not resemble simply scaled
up human footprints. Doctor Jeff Meldram of

326
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:12.559
Idaho State University conducted studies on supposed
sasquatch footprints and found notable differences in foot

327
00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.880
structure compared to human feet. These
footprints lack an arch and exhibit indications of

328
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:23.480
greater foot flexibility than human feet.
Some footprints even show fewer than five toes,

329
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:29.440
particularly those found in the southeastern parts
of North America and Australia. This

330
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:33.279
could be a result of inbreeding or
the toes not exerting enough pressure on the

331
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:37.880
soil till even noticeable impression. However, it is important to note that none

332
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:44.880
of these reported creatures have undergone rigorous
examination, preventing any conclusive conclusions. Nevertheless,

333
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:48.559
these observations serve as intriguing points of
interest in the ongoing exploration of these

334
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:53.720
mysterious beings. How could these elusive
creatures have managed to survive for such a

335
00:27:53.759 --> 00:28:00.920
prolonged period of time while remaining undetected
despite their widespread presence. It is truly

336
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:06.519
fascinating to consider that robust astrolopitho scenes
coexisted with more human like beings in the

337
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:10.480
same region and era. What happened
when the paths of these two types of

338
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:15.960
bipeds intersected. There is evidence suggesting
that the more human like beings occasionally hunted

339
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:21.799
their less human like counterparts. If
the extremely robust hominids indeed survived much longer

340
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:26.079
than previously believed. They must have
developed certain strategies to minimize their vulnerability to

341
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:33.440
humans. Some advantageous traits they may
have acquired include being active during human sleeping

342
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:38.000
hours, particularly in areas where humans
are present, exercising great caution to avoid

343
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:42.839
leaving tracts that could be followed by
humans, remaining hidden whenever humans are nearby,

344
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.559
being extremely careful not to reveal themselves, seeking to avoid conflicts with humans

345
00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:53.759
whenever possible, Attempting to drive away
humans who come too close to areas inhabited

346
00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:59.640
by vulnerable family members, such as
juveniles, through actions like throwing rocks or

347
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:03.680
sticks, growling, or bluff charging. Interestingly, all these characteristics have been

348
00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:10.559
associated with the reported sightings of hairy
men across the globe. Some noteworthy observations

349
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:15.559
about eight behavior and social structure.
Guerrillas and chimpanzees share certain behavioral and social

350
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:22.960
structure traits, including living in groups
ranging from two to approximately twenty individuals led

351
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:26.720
by a dominant male who protects the
group and their territory, Creating beds made

352
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:30.960
of grass and sticks, using them
only once before moving to a different location

353
00:29:32.119 --> 00:29:36.960
the next day, Utilizing a variety
of vocalizations such as calls, grunts,

354
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:41.319
barks, hoots, and even sign
language to communicate with one another and ward

355
00:29:41.359 --> 00:29:45.119
off threats to the group. Upon
reaching adulthood, some males leave their original

356
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:51.319
group and become solitary until they successfully
attract mature females from other groups to form

357
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:56.119
their own group, generally being gentle
creatures, although males and nursing mothers have

358
00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.519
been known to easily kill humans if
they feel threatened. I witness accounts of

359
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.599
bipedal apes and hairy men from around
the world seem to exhibit behavior consistent with

360
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:11.640
the aforementioned traits from which hominid are
They most likely descended. The bipedal walking

361
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.279
displayed by these beings suggests that they
belong to the hominid family. In the

362
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:19.559
case of the sasquatch and other similar
large and robust creatures that have been reported,

363
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:23.960
we can estimate when they diverge from
the human ancestral lineage based on their

364
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:30.200
behavior and appearance. Here are some
examples of their reported behavior which indicate their

365
00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:36.799
ability to anticipate outcomes and demonstrate high
intelligence. One making an effort to avoid

366
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:42.200
leaving tracks that could be followed.
Two leaving stick markers, three being highly

367
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:48.400
skilled at hiding and blending into their
surroundings, four leaving gifts for or reciprocating

368
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:53.799
gestures from humans. These behaviors suggest
that their brain size exceeds that of chimpanzees

369
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:59.640
at around four hundred cubic centimeters.
As chimpanzees are not known for their exceptional

370
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:04.319
ablas to anticipate outcomes, combined with
their bipedal walking, it indicates that these

371
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:10.720
large hominids branched off from the human
ancestral lineage after the ancestors of modern chimpanzees

372
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:15.000
did. Various methods have estimated the
divergence of chimpanzees from the human lineage to

373
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:19.759
be between six million and four and
a half million years ago. The molecular

374
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:26.640
clock countback method suggests a date around
five million years ago. It is unlikely

375
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.160
that this divergence occurred later than five
million years ago, as the first hominids

376
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:34.480
appeared at least four point two million
years ago. Additionally, during a period

377
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:40.559
of global cooling between six million and
five million years ago, Africa became drier

378
00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:45.160
and less forested. The disappearance of
typical primate forest habitat seems to be one

379
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.960
of the most probable factors that led
to the adoption of bipedalism. This supports

380
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:56.519
the aforementioned estimates. However, the
sasquatch and similar creatures differ greatly from humans

381
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:01.680
because studies conducted by doctor Jeff Meldrum
of ice Idaho State University indicate that sasquatch

382
00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:07.559
have a different foot structure, lacking
an arch and possessing greater flexibility compared to

383
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.519
humans. They are much more robust, They do not seem to have the

384
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:15.640
ability to create fire, They do
not seem to make clothing. They do

385
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:21.680
not seem to utilize advanced tools beyond
sticks or stones. These characteristics suggest that

386
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:25.039
they diverge from the human lineage earlier
than the appearance of the first humans around

387
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:30.039
two million years ago, and before
the emergence of hominids with a human like

388
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:34.799
foot structure, which had an arch
and a nearly rigid metatassal joint at least

389
00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:39.279
three point seven million years ago.
The absence of technology also indicates a creature

390
00:32:39.319 --> 00:32:45.200
with a brain structure somewhat different from
humans, although not necessarily smaller. Therefore,

391
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:50.119
it is reasonable to propose that these
creatures branched off from the human lineage

392
00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.920
between six million and four million years
ago. The only known by pedal primate

393
00:32:54.000 --> 00:33:00.759
before four million years ago is Ostrolopithecus
anamances. Considering the the bust nature of

394
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:05.119
creatures like the sasquatch, it is
plausible to suggest that they may be descended

395
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:09.920
from the robust form of ostralopith scene
that diverge from other ostralopith scenes before four

396
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:15.839
million years ago. The robust ostralopith
scenes that appeared before two and a half

397
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.680
million years ago may or may not
be part of their ancestral lineage, as

398
00:33:19.720 --> 00:33:24.400
the details of their foot structure are
not entirely certain. These robust ostralopith scenes

399
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:30.000
had brains up to thirty percent larger
than chimpanzees, or around five hundred thirty

400
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:36.039
cubic centimeters compared to four hundred cubic
centimeters, indicating a high level of intelligence.

401
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.480
If sasquatch type creatures are indeed descended
from an ostralopith scene, it does

402
00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:46.160
not necessarily make them ostralopith scenes themselves. They may have developed enough unique traits

403
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:52.440
to warrant their own genus name.
Until multiple specimens of such creatures are examined,

404
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.640
it is not possible to assign them
a genus or species name. For

405
00:33:55.759 --> 00:34:00.359
now, a suitable technical term for
these creatures would be something like hyper robust

406
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:07.200
hominids. These creatures may have evolved
from ostrolopith scenes, but unfortunately, there

407
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:12.360
are no well preserved fossils from this
time period. However, doctor Groverkrantz believed

408
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:16.480
that Gigantopithecus, a possible ancestor,
may have diverged during this era. He

409
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:21.960
suggested that Gigantopithecus might have been bipedal
based on the width of its jaw,

410
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:27.880
which could have accommodated the neck if
it stood upright. Furthermore, Gigantopithecus possesses

411
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:32.840
teeth that exhibit intermediate characteristics between those
of apes like chimpanzees and humans. This

412
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.800
classification makes it a hominid and a
potential ancestor of the robust hominids believed to

413
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:44.920
exist today. Some scientists have proposed
the idea that ostralopith scenes or Ostrolopithus scene

414
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:51.119
like hominids could have inhabited Southeast Asia. This hypothesis emerged when similarities were observed

415
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:57.559
between the Javanese jaw remains known as
meganthropists and those of known robust ostralopith scenes.

416
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:02.000
In Layman's terms. It is except
to refer to ostrolopith scenes as apes

417
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:07.920
or people, but they are not
considered humans. The technical term for them

418
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:13.159
is hominids. The modern hyper robust
hominids seem to share body structure and technology

419
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:19.159
with the robust australopith scenes, making
both people and apes suitable Layman's terms.

420
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.960
The question of how these creatures reached
Australia, of all places is a challenging

421
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:30.360
one to answer convincingly. One possible
explanation involves the scenario where human populations exceeded

422
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:35.199
the lands carrying capacity, leading members
of the group to venture into new territories

423
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:40.599
and potentially displacing other human tribes.
This migration occurred multiple times in Indonesia during

424
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:45.000
the glacial periods of the past one
hundred thousand years. During these periods,

425
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:50.840
when the gap between Australia and nearby
islands was at its narrowest, various human

426
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:54.880
groups migrated to Australia. The Australian
Aboriginals are descendants of a mixture of these

427
00:35:54.920 --> 00:36:00.039
groups. It is plausible that a
large population of robust prime was pushed towards

428
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.559
the extremities of places like Java,
due to the influx of migrating human tribes.

429
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:09.679
In such circumstances, young males seeking
new territory may have had no choice

430
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:15.039
but to swim to nearby islands.
Their calls during the night may have enticed

431
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:20.000
young females to follow suit. Over
a span of approximately twenty years, enough

432
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:24.280
animals could have made the swim to
establish a sustainable breeding population. The gaps

433
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:29.719
separating the Australian and New Guinean land
masses from other islands were too wide for

434
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.840
swimming across, and no known animal
can produce a call that would carry across

435
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:38.000
such distances, except possibly elephants.
There is no historical precedent for such a

436
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:44.840
swim among any known large terrestrial mammal, again, except possibly elephants. However,

437
00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:49.719
Bob Titmus, the renowned sasquatch researcher, claimed to have found encouraging signs

438
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:54.239
on small islands off the coast of
British Columbia. He discovered footprints resembling sasquatch

439
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:59.679
tracks, although these islands were too
small to support a breeding population of such

440
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:05.119
crete and were separated from the mainland
by vast expanses of rough water. If

441
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.840
these creatures are deserving of research.
One might wonder why more serious scientists are

442
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:15.000
not studying them. In the words
of Sir Peter Metawar, good scientists study

443
00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:17.880
the most important problems they think they
can solve. It is, after all,

444
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:22.119
their professional duty to solve problems,
not merely to grapple with them.

445
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:27.559
Therefore, when researching this topic,
we must keep this in mind. As

446
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:31.559
John Napier once wrote regarding the explanation
of these creatures through the survival of prehistoric

447
00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:37.920
species, it would be convenient to
assign the ape like Gigantopithecus to the Himalayas

448
00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:42.559
and the more human like parenthropists to
North America, but it would be unscientific

449
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:46.280
to do so. What is the
future of yowi research in Australia? The

450
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:52.679
realm of yowi research in Australia unveils
intriguing variations and the approaches adopted by different

451
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:59.840
researchers. In his renowned book Bigfoot's
Sasquatch Evidence, Roverkrantz delineated various categories of

452
00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:05.280
enthusiasts. These encompass the amateurs who
possess a part time fascination with a creature

453
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:09.159
due to their encounters or knowledge the
serious researchers and scientists, and the hunters

454
00:38:09.239 --> 00:38:15.800
driven by the desire for a trophy. The Australian researchers predominantly align themselves with

455
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:21.519
the former groups. Remarkably, a
substantial level of collaboration exists among most Australian

456
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:25.400
researchers, with only a few exceptions. The advent of the Internet has facilitated

457
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:31.800
the gathering and communication of numerous inquisitive
researchers. This cooperative spirit and overall openness

458
00:38:31.800 --> 00:38:37.280
are highly encouraging, fostering the potential
for level headed research in the future.

459
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:42.880
It is also hopeful that a culture
of sharing information among mutually respectful researchers can

460
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:47.599
be fostered. The publication of multiple
books on the subject by various individuals already

461
00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:53.199
exemplifies this trend. Nevertheless, a
significant question looms large. Will we ever

462
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:58.079
truly comprehend the nature of the AWI? Will it continue to elude us,

463
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:02.639
appearing and vanishing at will, or
will someone eventually unearthed concrete physical evidence that

464
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:12.119
unequivocally convinces skeptics. Ultimately, one
must ponder does it truly matter? They

465
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:20.840
say, you don't gotta go home, but you can't stay. No,

466
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:50.719
I don't want to be. We're
all oppen. Try this job that chart

467
00:39:51.000 --> 00:40:05.760
everything back. Joy for me,
Joy, stay right from the ways,

468
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:36.519
assist us, conser yes as side
