François Sarre Asks, 'Will an Exemplar of Obligate Bipedalism in Those Hominoids That Bequeathed It Only to Hominid Species Stand Up . . . Please? Where Is Bigfoot Hiding Himself Out?'

http://www.bigfootencounters.com/biology/desarre.htm

François Sarre is no shrinking violet when it comes to his acceptance of hominid evolution; he accepts the theory. His little pictograph (see below) humorously sums up his belief about what the major fossil specimens salient to the paleoanthropologists' theories of hominid evolution -- as the fossil specimens relate to what he alleges was retention of obligate bipedalism only in the hominid species --, would teach us, if we would but view those fossils specimens as he views them. He uses a pictograph that begins with an upright, obligate bipedal (human) that seemingly descends into creatures that have lost obligate bipedalism. It is a simplistic pictograph, because it does not represent in him a belief that chimpanzees and the great apes are descended from humans, but rather that those species are our cousin descendants, descended from certain hominoids whereby 'in that descent of our cousin species from bipedal hominoids there gradually became the loss of obligate bipedalism -- though it was once present in certain hominoid ancestors (and may yet be represented by certain of those species that have survived into historical times here on earth, and maybe still do).' The theory here has it that there was an ancestor common to humans and the great apes who was an obligate bipedal creature, but that in the lines that branched off from him, 'the obligate bipedalism he owned came to be lost in some branches of his descendants, it being retained, in fact, only in the branch that became, in time, according to François de Sarre's theory, homo sapiens.'

It's a wild, wild West out there when it comes to paleoanthropologists' theories. Who among them wields the fastest spade for remarkably finding and digging out other fossil specimens just right for added support of some alternative theory he trumpets?
