Primates

The two suborders of primates that are recognized today are Strepsirrhini (lemurs and lorises) and Haplorrhini (tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans). The taxonomy of primates is an issue that is not resolved and has undergone many revisions over the years. Our Primates category attempts to deal with questions about primate species and subspecies described prior to and since the latest revisions.

Are humans the only living bipedal primate?

Yes they are! - is a frequent answer.

But this is controversial - there are various hominoids known worldwide, historically and in the present, who are bipedal.

They may have not been recognized by the "scientific community" but there are thousands of reported sitings and other evidence such as plaster casts of their footprints. Some are our size, one group in Malaysia is pygmy, and some are huge, like the fossil hominid gigantopithecus! To get information on them, look up Crytids, which includes many other types of animals seen but not recognized.

The one closest to home is the sasquatch or bigfoot, known by many other names in every native American language. They have been sighted in every state which has forests (and/or mountains) and in Canada, possibly in Central and South America. They are very large, fast, powerful, and bipedal. They resort to all fours only very occasionally when pursued. They are omnivorous and excellent hunters, and practice hiding techniques, hiding from humans behind trees or crouching down in brush. They observe us a lot, because they monitor and are very defensive of their territories, and will make loud noises to scare away humans. However they rarely if ever attack us.

They build rudimentary temporary shelters. They live in monogamous small family groups and have language which includes words! Language experts have not been able to interpret their languages. They are spoken very rapidly in a high pitched voice, like the recorded speech of dolphins. There is at least one recording of it

with a transcription and analysis.

They are thought to be very old in the Western hemisphere, having come over on the northern Bering land bridge when their bamboo forests in Asia went through a periodic die off. They have been very successful here and may be a contemporary survival of Gigantopithecus blackii.

There are many hoaxed accounts, photos, etc., but too great a mass of genuine accounts of sightings and casts of footprints to ignore.

We should acknowledge their existence but leave them alone. They are a lot like us but are also wild animals who merit our protection, especially the protection of the wildland habitats where they have successfully lived for centuries, even eons.
