What does mainstream science think about bigfoot?

What does mainstream science think about bigfoot? The short answer is that it has never been proven that Bigfoot exists. Possible sightings have occurred all over North America and Europe, but no large-footprint tracks, DNA, or film evidence have been found to confirm the sighting. In the past few decades, scientists have studied this creature further in hopes of eventually proving its existence, but after years of inconclusive data, the scientific community has largely abandoned the search for Bigfoot.

And then there are those who believe that Bigfoot is real. There are thousands of sightings reported each year. And then there are those who maintain that Bigfoot is real and are actively searching for the elusive creature. Many of these Bigfoot hunters are well known, such as Dr. Jeff Meldrum, who teaches anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University. Dr. Meldrum has written several books about the Sasquatch phenomenon. He has also authored numerous articles on the subject.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum, a professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, believes that Sasquatch is an apelike hominid that roamed North America during the Pleistocene epoch. He has written several books about the Sasquatch phenomenon. Meldrum believes that the creature is similar to the Neanderthal, or Homo neanderthalensis, which was native to Europe and western Asia until it became extinct some 30,000 years ago. The Neanderthal was characterized by its large head, thick brow ridge, and protruding jaw. Meldrum believes that the Bigfoot has a large head, a prominent brow ridge, and a large jaw. Meldrum has spent much of his career studying the remains of the Neanderthals. He is convinced that the Bigfoot is a missing link between modern man and the Neanderthals.

In this article, we'll examine what mainstream science really thinks about bigfoot and whether there's a scientific explanation for these elusive creatures. We'll also look at some "unexplained" theories on how bigfoot might exist in our world today.

The Rationale of Science

Why is science so interested in bigfoot? And why do some people believe in the creature's existence? For most, it's likely because of an overwhelming desire to believe. A belief in something supernatural, or paranormal, may be comforting to the weak-minded who are struggling with daily life. But before you make up your mind about bigfoot's existence, let's look at how science works. Science is not concerned with whether a thing exists or not; it operates on cause and effect, which can't be denied if you observe the results night after night. For example, gravity has always operated on Earth regardless of whether humans believed in it.

Scientifically Understanding Bigfoot

To prove the existence of bigfoot, scientists would need to find traces of an animal that left oversized footprints, hair samples, or even touch DNA. Because bigfoot doesn't live in controlled environments like research institutions, studying them is difficult. Scientists must venture out into the wild where they might find well-preserved tissue samples or tracks left by the creature every so often. There's also an unspoken rule among many Bigfoot researchers that states you can't shoot or kill a bigfoot specimen because it would deprive the scientific community of valuable data.

The only current-day evidence of bigfoot can be traced back to just a few hundred years ago. After that point, stories about the bigfoot include the creature's appearance and behavior. Almost every "new" sighting seems to describe something different than what has been seen before as if the witness is seeing a different animal altogether. There are no skeletons of dinosaurs, no one has ever found a Bigfoot skeleton, either. 

If you accept that bigfoot exists today and believe it lived in North America thousands of years ago (as many people do), it would seem like the creature's remains should pop up somewhere eventually – but they haven't. Some people have suggested that bigfoot are an alien species, but if this were true, there would be even less proof of their existence. If you were to ask a skeptic what they think about bigfoot, or if they have proof that the creature doesn't exist, many would probably say that stories about bigfoot are nothing more than myths. 

In conclusion, it's quite possible that maybe bigfoot does live in North America today. But whether it's the same creature that lived during the Pleistocene is up for debate. And whether or not it's a fossil that escaped detection is also up for debate. The Sasquatch phenomenon has spawned countless myths and legends. Some of these tales may be based on actual events, while others are likely the product of an overactive imagination. There's no denying that some of these stories are entertaining, regardless of their origin.
