Legends and stories about savages, often found in folklore and entertainment magazines, there are stories of savages in China and abroad, savages, is an unproven higher primate. Shennongjia Savage Legend, the "Bigfoot" of North America, the "Snowman" of Tibet, China. In the legend, the wild man is tall, agile, walking through mountains and mountains like walking on the ground, and has a certain "intelligence".
The "Wuyang Guoren" described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is also in line with the characteristics of wild people: "Everyone has long lips, black body has hair, anti-heel, laughs when he sees people, and manages with his left hand."
At present, folk supporters believe that wildlings exist, but mainstream academics believe that there is no scientific basis for the existence of wildlings.
However, to date, there is no reliable evidence of its existence, and the evidence is mostly found in "eyewitnesses".
Savage model
Savages [unproven primates]
Shennongjia Savage Model
1. There is no reliable visual or physical evidence, and the "wild man" is just the illusion of an individual.
2. The corpses, skeletons and fossils of "wild men" have never been found, and there is a lack of evidence in paleontology.
3. Some ecologists believe that a sufficient number of individuals is needed for the reproduction of a race, but circumstantial evidence can show that the number of animals is not large enough to sustain the reproduction of the race, so it can be considered that "wildlings" do not exist.
4. Some people think that "savages" as a higher primate may have existed for a period of time in history, but due to the expansion of human civilization, habitat reduction, ecological destruction, environmental pollution and other reasons, the species has become extinct.
5. The existence of "wild men" does not conform to the theory of evolution. Savages are the missing link in the evolution of ancient Homo sapiens to modern humans" is not scientifically based.
A view that really exists
1. The "wild man" is not captured alive, probably because the animal has a considerable degree of intelligence and can escape the pursuit and search of humans.
2. There is substantial indirect evidence that the animal is a primate higher than apes.
3. There are a large number of witnesses and encounters.
4. Most of the areas where "savages" have been reported are rich in flora and fauna resources, and the climate is mild, which is suitable for the survival and reproduction of higher primates. (Except Himalayan Snowman)
The "evidence" of the proponents is:
hair
By studying the residual hair found at the sighting site, it was found that this hair was significantly different from ordinary beasts, but also different from human hair.
footprints
The shape of the feet is similar to that of primates, very close to the shape of human feet, but much larger than that of humans.
