I stand corrected. Apparently, there
are "were-apes" in the popular culture. They go by the technical name
megapithicanthropes, and you can read more about them
here.
What does this have to do with the Great Were-Bear Explanation? Nothing. These megapithicanthsdkfls whatever-things are not
yeti. Why not? Take your pick:
Because that doesn't make any sense. Because yeti does not have a tail, and these megapithies do. Satisfied?
Viva la Were-bears.
