| | Further Notes on the Role of Folklore in Hominology |
 | | This biological plausibility contrasts sharply with the emotive hominoid of Caucasian lore. | | | In short, their position is this: given the recurrence of hominoid figures in many of the world's folkloric traditions, these bodies of lore should be scrutinized more carefully by a host of experts to extract what, if any, information may lurk therein regarding relict men or man-like creatures. | | | Such fact-like elements will be there not because they in some way serve the basic function of the tale, but because they have leaked in, so to say, from the world of brute fact, albeit filtered through the perceptual sieve of the culture involved. |

| | Free howl advocates warn that while the intentions of this filtering is good, it could be used by corrupt officials to keep Cascadian hominoids in the dark about important issues. | | | The "Monkey Man" attacks have led to what officials are calling "anti-hominoid fear psychosis" and a breakdown in the state of human-hominoid relations, sparking recent attacks on innocent Matdngdng hominoids by angry human vigilantes. | | | While response to the new campaign has been largely favorable in the Sasquatch community, some Sasquatch have criticized the poster as representing Uncle Sas as too human-looking, feeling that pressure from the human majority to make Uncle Sas less threatening to human sensibilities has tainted what could have been a symbol for Sasquatch pride. |

| | The answer, probably, can be like this: because the hominoid foot is not so rigid as man's foot, it still retains a certain measure of mobility inherited from the hand-like foot of the ape, and therefore has a furrow somewhat analogous to lines on man's palm. | | | As for what is known of the foot of Australopithecus and "Homo habilis", it does not seem to fit the pattern of the hominoid foot we are dealing with. | | | It seems that a new and very important development in this direction of research is a comparison made by us between the calcaneus (heel bone) of the Neanderthal foot and that of North American Hominoids as shown in the materials of American hominologists. |

| | The second point is confirmed by recalculating the energy expenditure of humans and chimpanzees walking at normal speeds: the human energetic cost is about average for the mammals, but the chimpanzee still uses about 50% more energy per body weight. | | | A far more elaborate view is presented by Lovejoy using information from a wide spectrum of sources including mammalian demography, ecology, and social behavior. | | | Such a result makes sense because the hominoid body is adapted to a certain style of arboreal locomotion which makes terrestrial gait energetically costly. |

| | Hominoid taxonomies |
| | In general, the hominoids are a primate superfamily; the hominid family is currently considered to comprise both the great ape lineages and human lineages within the hominoid superfamily; the "homininae" comprise both the human lineages and the African ape lineages within the hominids, and the "hominini" comprising only the human lineages. | | | The terms "hominoid", "hominid", and "hominin" are not interchangeable, but their classification criteria are variously in a state of flux. | | | It is important to note that in the older scheme (before about 1980), the Hominoids comprised the gibbons (Hylobatidae), the great apes (Pongidae), and the Hominidae, with the Hominidae (hominids) consisting only of the two genera Homo and Australopithecus. |
