As is well known, I am convinced that there is a separate species of human, living among us, here in North America. That species is technically referred to as ‘’Gigantopithecus Blacki’’, although there are numerous common terms for those people. In fact, there are as many local terms, as there are localities. However, the most common ones include ’’Sasquatch’’ and ‘’Bigfoot’’. I refer to them as Giants, as it is a term which is non derogatory. As well, it is not just their feet that are big!
As I have covered this in previous articles, there is no need to go into detail here. On the other hand, perhaps a brief summary is appropriate.
These people, Giants, are members of a primitive society of hunter- gatherers, commonly referred to as ‘’Stone Age People’’. This is to say that all societies, which existed before civilization, are classified as ‘’primitive’’.
That being said, the fact is that we are all descendants of people who were, at one time or another, members of a primitive society. So the word ‘’primitive’’ is not meant in a derogatory sense. Yet there are a great many people, especially those who have recent ancestors who lived in a primitive society, who find the term to be derogatory.
So in the interests of not offending any common people, perhaps it is better to refer to such societies as being ‘’Stone Age’’. That is a term which may not be entirely accurate, but common people find it to be non offensive.
Also, the reason I am convinced that these Giants are human, is because all species of human, which have ever walked the earth, have been, and are now, bipedal apes, complete with the opposable thumb. In fact, that is my briefest possible definition of human: ‘’A bipedal ape with an opposable thumb’’.
In order to make the transition, from ape to human, the ape first has to become bipedal. That means it first has to evolve, to the point that it walks on two legs. That frees the front paws for labour.
Then, in the process of labour, as those paws are involved in working with ever more elaborate creations, those same paws gradually become transformed into hands. The ‘’opposable thumb’’ is created. This is to say that we can touch our fingertips with our thumbs.
At the same time, other changes take place within the anatomy, changes which we cannot explain, but only describe, ‘’and then only in general terms’’, according to Engles. It is the sum total of these changes which make us human.
I have previously provided my own theory, to explain the evolutionary pressures which caused our distant ancestors, which were apes, to first become bipedal. That freed up the front paws for labour, and the subsequent transition to human.
In the process of making that transition, from ape to human, jealousy had to break down. Our ancestors were weak and puny, requiring the support of the group. Jealousy breaks up that cohesion.
The absence of jealousy gave rise to a social structure which included group marriage, which is characteristic of all Stone Age Societies.
Yet it was a different set of evolutionary pressures, which caused the Giants to first become bipedal, and evolve the opposable thumb. In fact, the two may have evolved at the same time.
This is significant, because it is a generally accepted scientific theory, that in order to make the transition, from bipedal ape to human, jealousy had to break down. For that reason, within Stone Age Society, group marriages are universal.
Yet as there are no absolutes in nature, it is entirely possible that these Giants are the exception. They are indeed huge, twice the size of gorillas. This provides them with exceptional strength, to say the least. For that reason, it is entirely possible that they were able to make the transition, from ape to human, without having jealousy break down. They may not have needed the support of the group, in order to make that transition.
If that is the case, then it is entirely possible that they are in fact ‘’monogamous’’. This is referred to as a ‘’pairing couple’’, in that one man is paired with one woman. I mention this for the benefit of working people who are just now becoming politically active.
As mentioned in a previous article, these Giants are well respected, among the Indigenous People. It is mutual. For that reason, on the Reserves, along the West Coast, the people who live on those Reserves stay off the beach, after sundown. Because at that time, the Giants go on the beach. Respect!
With the anticipated cooperation of the First Nation Elders, we can make contact with those people, the Giants, on those Reserves. Not by chasing them, as so many people are doing, but by attracting them.
On that subject, there are a considerable number of people who are determined to prove these Giants exist, even if it means killing one of them, in the process. In my opinion, the end does not justify the means. Certainly not when that ‘’means’’ involves murder!
Far better to let them come to us. Putting out gifts of food, metallic mirrors and burlap bags, items which they will no doubt find useful, will let them know that we are being friendly, and want to meet them. I have extensively covered this in previous articles, so there is no need to go into detail.
This brings me to the title of the Article. It has recently come to my attention, that there may be different ‘’populations’’ of Giants. That is a technical term, used to describe different groups, within a particular species, which has different characteristics. It is entirely possible that some Giants are ‘’transient’’, which is to say that they go south for the winter, to a warmer climate. Then they return in the spring.
By contrast, there may be Giants which are ‘’residential’’, which is to say that they stay in the same location, year round. Or so I have been told!
Assuming that to be the case, it stands to reason that the residential Giants grow a thick coat of winter fur. Also, when the winter temperatures drop to temperatures of thirty or forty degrees below zero, they retreat to their caves, which provide them with warmth and shelter.
This is significant, if for no other reason than that it is very likely that the residential Giants can be found, on the beaches of those West Coast Reserves, year round. That remains to be seen.
As for those who object that the social structure of the Giants, as well as the possible existence of different populations, is of little consequence, I can only respond that you are mistaken. They are a separate species of human, and as such, deserve our utmost respect. That also implies our understanding, of different populations, with different customs.
It is of the utmost importance that we prove they exist, so that we can pass laws to protect them. They should be allowed to wander around, as they see fit, in the daytime, without fear of being shot!
As members of a hunting- gathering society, they are at the mercy of nature. No doubt, there are times when they go hungry, as nature is not always too generous. At such times, perhaps we can assist with a little food. Just a little matter of being neighbourly!
It is correct to consider this to be part of the revolutionary motion, that is currently sweeping the country, as that is precisely the case. As the capitalists are determined to continue to deny the existence of these people, and as the scientists continue to kowtow to the capitalists, it is up to common people, the members of the public, the working people, to rise to the occasion, and prove they exist. As I am sure they will. To such people, I can only say that, rest assured, I have complete confidence in you.
