Probably a pretty interesting group of people to study if they've been isolated for so long, but not a totally new species of large primate.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-28205996270124485092012-10-18T03:41:09.134-05:002012-10-18T03:41:09.134-05:00the Russian sect the "Old Believers" liv...the Russian sect the "Old Believers" live in Siberia. Have since the 17th century and nobody knew they were there till 1978. A group of people living isolated in one of the coldest places on earth (hairy), and pretty much without being known about (mysterious). Could be our yeti's.

It does make sense that a population living up north would be hairier, and more to the point might wear furs or something that would get them mistaken for nonhuman hominids at a distance.<br /><br />Of course, that still doesn't explain how these researchers could know firsthand that the "yetis" can converse and so forth and not realize that they were talking to a human rather than a different species. Of course, though, maybe these Russian cryptozoologists rely mostly on anecdotal data, just like many of their American counterparts.Scott Stenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389664381513219613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294505416127496842.post-34221107017397533642012-10-15T15:38:13.605-05:002012-10-15T15:38:13.605-05:00I have known many a Russian,having worked with man...I have known many a Russian,having worked with many when i worked and lived in Greece. I can tell you that i mistook more than a few of them for hairy yetis! I think this may be the Yeto the scientists are talking to, just furry villagers who are so hairy, they no longer need clothes :pHypnovatoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959801151825593183noreply@blogger.com
