It's always possible I suppose> with the amount of wilderness in North America, but how have we never found any trace of a huge ass ape?I can accept Bigfoot type hominids surviving just long enough that a handful of Stone Age humans encountered them
and created myths around them, as the creation of fossils requires very specific conditions and it's perfectly reasonable
that any Bigfoot bones simply rotten away since then or just haven't been found.
After all, we do know that mammoths survived until quite recently (historically speaking);
"Woolly mammoths survived there [Wrangel Island] until 2500–2000 BC, the most recent survival of all known
mammoth populations. Isolated from the mainland for 6000 years, about 500 to 1000 mammoths lived on the
island at a time."
