It seems that Sasquatch is making a comeback, and it's not just in the woods. The YouTube channel "Intro to Anthro with 2 Humans" recently discussed the increasing presence of Sasquatch in popular culture in their episode titled "You Sasquatch My Back, I’ll Sasquatch Yours."
The hosts, John McRae and John Lear, have noticed an uptick in Sasquatch-themed bumper stickers and merchandise, from hand soap to Ford Bronco emblems. This has led to a discussion about how Sasquatch fits into the field of anthropology, both physically and culturally.
According to the hosts, if Sasquatch is a bipedal primate that still exists in North America, it would fit into physical anthropology in the same way as any other bipedal primate. Additionally, the legends and beliefs surrounding Sasquatch would fit into cultural anthropology.
The hosts also mention that Sasquatch used to only be reported in the Pacific Northwest, but now there are reports of Sasquatch sightings in states such as Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas. Despite the increasing range and popularity of Sasquatch, there is still no concrete physical evidence of its existence.
The hosts raise the question of why there is no physical evidence, such as fur, bones, or a skull, despite the numerous videos, photographs, and footprints that have been documented. They suggest that if Sasquatch is truly all over the country, there should be some physical evidence by now.
Despite the lack of physical evidence, the hosts acknowledge the impact that Sasquatch has had on popular culture and the fascination that it continues to hold for many people. They encourage their listeners to keep their eyes open for any signs of Sasquatch and to continue the search for concrete evidence of its existence.
So, whether you believe in Sasquatch or not, it's clear that its presence in popular culture is not going away anytime soon. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have concrete evidence of its existence, but until then, we can continue to enjoy the legends and folklore that surround this elusive creature.
