Hominid

Hairy giants walking upright, sighted from California to the Himalayas. Unknown hominids are cryptozoology's historic core: ancient Indigenous traditions, thousands of cast footprints, one film argued frame by frame — and still no skeleton. This is where the discipline stakes its credibility, between intrigued anthropologists and wooden-foot hoaxes.
