Never had 'em to begin with. Same with chimps and gorillas I think.

What's with the defined brow but no defined sagittal crest? That brow ridge seems really strange without the crest there

Why are our roots so elongated to begin with? What's with that?

>>8235237
Anchors

>>8235237
the roots are long and secure because once it falls out, it's all ogre. We can't replace our teeth if we lose them

Wow, this is a genuinely interesting case! Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Looking at it, it's definitely not a chimp, or any ape for that matter. While the flat face and the sagittal crest are definitely suggestive of a great ape, those teeth and that snout immediately rule out any Great Ape. The only primates with a long protruding snout or dentition quite like that is a baboon, or a lemur, but they have a much more gracile face.

Even where they come close in terms of those massive canines, none have the same kind of long snout with the low-set nose. It *has* to be a baboon. The sagittal crest means it's definitely an old-world primate, so any chance of it being a New World ape, much less bigfoot, goes right out the window. The only question is what kind of baboon is it?

In my humble opinion, it very closely resembles pic related- a Yellow Baboon, P. cynocephalus. It has the same flat, forward-facing, heavy and disturbingly anthropoid face, and a sagittal crest. Potentially a juvenile, deformed, or a new species/subspecies, but it's definitely a baboon. A rather cool one, considering how closely it resembles an ape. But no prospects for being a proto-bigfoot.

That was my first though too, but the sagittal crest, skull roof and cheek bones are all wrong. Definitely a baboon, though.
