Like Neanderthal, Is Bigfoot Going Extinct?

    Like the Neanderthal, is Bigfoot going extinct? Report and Nick's Analysis. From Lone Survivor; How We Came To Be The Only Humans On Earth by Dr. Chris Stringer, eminent British anthropologist and researcher at the Natural History Museum in London. Published in 2012, page 195.
    When humans started moving into Europe, there were only 3,500 breeding Neanderthal females in Europe and Western Asia. This gave Neanderthals very
little genetic diversity and made them susceptible to mutations. The complete reconstructed mt-DNA genomes of six Neanderthals from Germany, Spain, Croatia, and Russia differ at only 55 locations out of a total of more than 16,000 base pairs. This is far less than in modern humans and only a tiny fraction of the variability found in great ape species today. The estimate of only 350 breeding female Neanderthals came from studying the genomes of the six Neanderthals just mentioned. Thus, inbreeding was threatening the existence of the Neanderthal just as humans came upon the scene from Africa to compete with him and also threaten his existence.
    Nick's Analysis: I have previously pointed out the wild variability of the number of toes Bigfoot tracks display - three to seven - as a possible indication of inbreeding as well as two sightings of Bigfoot in North America having tails.
It is frightening that so many so-called enviromentalists also support unfettered, illegal immigration into America, thereby turning the enviroment into developments and killing American flora and fauna. One wonders if these "enviromentalists" are inbreeding like the Neanderthals did. Saving habitats is essential to our wildlife, but also connecting them with wildlife corridors can make up for some of the rapidly diminishing wild land. This will allow the spread of genetic diversity necessary to avoid inbreeding and eventual extinction. For example, state employees have brought the Texas cougar to Florida to breed with the Florida panther who were showing extreme genetic stress and mutations. The population is doing much better. The new individuals are healthier and showing more vigor such as in tree climbing. But their habitat continues to shrink, and getting from one wild area to another is often marked by death by vehicles. Florida has used corridors built under the lethal I-75 successfully but needs money to build wildlife bridges over the county roads where panthers try to cross too.

I would be happy to discuss your Bigfoot sighting with you. Perhaps, you will get a perspective to add to the very rare experience. Questions and comments also welcomed. Peter Nickerson, peternickerson12@yahoo.com and 352-359-0850.
