I've been thinking about this for a while and I wanted to pitch my not so well thought out theory of how the bigfoot myth came to North America and although I don't believe in the existence of bigfoot, I believe it's origins come from something real.
As recently as 100,000 years ago an ape now known as gigantopithicus lived in Asia roughly around the same time humans migrated there. These times are estimated, and as most history buffs have been learning lately early migrations of humans and civilizations are constantly being pushed further back in time.
Some of you may have read about early American Indian accounts of bigfoot particularly in the rockies.

These stories were passed down through the ages long before Columbus or any Europeans set foot on North American soil. These indigenous people are believed to have crossed the land bridge from Asia.
I believe that current bigfoot legends are real stories from humans in Asia that shared habitat with this great ape, passed the stories down generation to generation and brought it over to north America and pollenated the European settler culture.
