So Almasty = pre sapiens people is a good working hypothesis.<br /><br />Thanks for writing!AWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11389280995003336103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137409915847697670.post-45819059571792405822011-11-24T15:09:42.521-03:002011-11-24T15:09:42.521-03:00Thanks for posting my comment. So please don'...Thanks for posting my comment. So please don't dismiss reports of 'Yetis' in Siberia as attempts to promote tourism. The researchers are making attempts to reach out and publicise their work, and they need to be supported! (I'm sure you would not appreciate it if your interesting blog was dismissed as 'fishing for tourists'!).<br /><br />The researchers in Russia and the Causcasus have gathered an enormous amount of evidence (as you will see if you check the link I sent). So, I think the reason why they just mentioned the nests, intertwined saplings and footprints in their publicity - which you call 'flimsy evidence' - was not that that is all they have, but simply that those were some evidence still in situ near the conference venue, that they could show the visiting researchers and press reporters. Researchers working on the subject would recognise these as examples of Almasty/Bigfoot evidence. <br />Thanks, GundulaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137409915847697670.post-9672037056521338092011-11-24T09:06:45.515-03:002011-11-24T09:06:45.515-03:00Hello, thanks for your interest in this but I wou...Hello, thanks for your interest in this but I would like to assure you that the evidence for Bigfoot-type wild humans in Russia is VERY strong. In fact, far, far stronger than the evidence in America (which is very strong). And actually, the evidence stretches all across Eurasia from Eastern Europe (eg. Belarus), across all of Russia and China, and also the countries south of Russia. There have been thousands of documented encounters and sightings, thousands of footprints, studies of faeces, some bones, and at least one recording of their screams. The creature has many local names, such as the Almasty, and it is a very real living creature to many locals, not a myth. A lot is now known about their habits and migration routes etc.<br /><br />If the clinching proof that this wild human exists is going to be found and officially accepted any time soon, then I think it may well be first for the Bigfoot in Siberia/Asia than for America. From what I have read, the research has been more organised and offical than the work going on in America. The original research was started by the Russian Government decades ago, and since then several research teams have been dedicated to the subject and publishing their findings. Over in China, the government is the only government that is officially reseaching the subject. The reason that their work is not known in the West is simply because of the earlier political divide and the language divide (eg. the Russian work is publsihed in Russian). If you want to know more, I recommend this website where a lot of articles have been translated into English and make for fascinating reading:<br />http://www.stgr-primates.de/news.html<br /><br />What is particularly exiting about the Eurasian evidence, is the level of detail. In America, most of the encounters are fleeting, made by hikers walking through remote areas or brief sightings by motorists of Bigfoot crossing a road. In Eurasia, however, as the Almasty has been living side by side with rural people in many areas, the encounters (though still generally very infrequent) have often been more involved, eg. with many cases of the Almastys coming to steal crops and even closer relationships in one or two areas. <br />Thanks, GundulaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
