You know, I'm not *entirely* convinced that bigfoot, if it exists, is a primate. There's a type of sloth in South America that is *very* like the images shown in the various supposed Sasquatch tapes. Without a good look at the hands and feet, it's possibly a species more closely related to bears. For all we know it's a marsupial. Which means we may have the species running around out there, and it wouldn't be a missing link at all.
Then again, if you think about it, they *wouldn't* be missing links. If we did evolve from apes (I think we did- but we'll avoid debate by being inclusive).... then that evolution would need to occur where there were both apes, and later, humans who didn't migrate to the place. Sasquatch and Bigfoot and Yeti don't live anywhere near other primate species. In fact, they supposedly live in cold and desolate areas that neither man nor ape wants anything to do with.
