Daniel Dover's the guy I'll be going over here, since his analyses seem to have been the most in-depth. His article on the subject, which I'll link below this post, is very interesting. That being the case, there was a particular, and rather crucial point, that I'd like to try and contend:
"... the typical sasquatch fingerprint exhibits straight diagonal lines (no swirling). No human nor any known primate produces a fingerprint pattern like this. Of all the known animals which produce fingerprint patterns none produce one even close to this pattern."
I'd like to start by saying I don't necessarily disagree with Dover entirely, here. However, I would say that the examples Dover seems to be working off of are a fairly small sample of the entire sample size one could examine, (keeping in mind that, of course, none of these are as-of-yet-confirmed prints of a North American great ape).
The examples Dover provides are actually part of the collection I posted my findings on a few weeks ago on May 31st. I disagree with him that swirling is not present; rather, it seems it is present in a good deal of prints that are examine-able. These prints can be viewed in a link on my previous post.
There are prints that stretch from the Carolinas to Nordegg, Canada. Again, not only is looping/swirling in a good deal of them, signs of other print patterns are seemingly observable. The exception to this, in the May 31st collection, seemed to me to be prints that were let in such a way that certain parts of the fingerprint had not been imprinted onto the surface. Reasons for this might include moisture or bodily fluids on the subject.
Ironically, the Dover examples are in that particular group. Make of this what you will! I'd love to hear feedback, especially from Dover, on this subject. Cheers!
