Lol there isn't a place on earth we haven't visited. And no people,Antarctica doesn't count. Its so obvious. Did you know since the legend was started by native americans where they lived apes were very common.lets see here apes get 10 feet, they can weigh 500 pounds or more, native americans believed in spirits and god and karma and sacrificed living beings for ceremonial purposes. Is it possible they mistook it for something else? These facts say otherwise

We may have mapped much of the world, but there are VAST amounts of areas that remain largely unexplored. While I do remain skeptical of "bigfoot," there are likely many species of animals that have not yet been discovered by science. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a couple larger mammals out there that we don't know about, along with large reptiles and aquatic creatures.
BTW, what "apes" were very common to North American native people?

the problem with all this stuff is that what people fail to realize is that there has to be enough of a population of these creatures (and sea monsters like Nessie in loch ness etc) in order to sustain breeding numbers.
in other words, there can't just be one.
there has to be a least a fair number of them to ensure breeding and survival of offspring.
and if that were the case, we would have found conclusive envidence of them by now.
its fun to believe, but it can't happen the way the media likes us to think that it can.
I have an honours biology degree, and one of the cool things we did was critically analyze a famous scientific paper that mapped out the food web of Loch Ness and tried to estimate whether or not there would be enough biomass in the lake to support a breeding population of "loch ness monsters".
ie is there enough food in loch ness to support a breeding population of pleisosaurs?
it looks like there isn't lol

I think it is stupid and pointless to believe in something for which the only evidence is a collection of unreliable firsthand accounts, manmade "footprints," and other proven hoaxes.
The evidence can all be very well broken down into a number of reasonable explenations
Footage and pictures, what isn't blurry and indecisive at best are clearly hoaxes. the famous footage was shot by someone who was bankrupt and planning on striking it rich with a bigfoot movie... Most other video is of a dark smudge moving from kilometres away or screened by bushes, plus It could be very easy to overestimate size at a distance. Could easily be an uninvolved person in dark clothing or an animal like a bear
footprints and hair: fake or distorted footprints made by humans or other natural phenomena. Hair is not a very good tissue to get dna from as it is constantly being hit by the suns rays on an animal, which can distort the dna within them.
eyewitness accounts. same as photos
Native sightings and myths. There was a ritual that shaman apprentices would partake in where they would spend a full year in the wilderness without contact with the tribe. they would fashion tools and clothes from whatever they found, such as rough fur clothes. If another tribe saw such an apprentice from a distance they could easily be mistaken for bigfoot, especially since they would try and avoid all human contact while on this pilgrimmage.
The yeti on the other hand...

Never say never even if its probably not in the cards. The lack of evidence doesn't destroy the possibility of bigfoot it just reduces the likelihood. Finding large new species is not unheard of. Rhinopithecus strykeri, Pecari maximus, and Rhinopithecus strykeri are a few good examples. Thats why I keep an open mind even if that is "stupid".
Yes! I think there are a lot of fakes though, and it dilutes the credibility of the legitimate sightings/evidence. The Patterson film is kinda the Bigfoot bible. But I think the Jacobs??? photos are of a Bear.
