Hello, everyone. It's been a while since I've posted, a little over a year now. I'm looking to get back into posting on this blog.
As I'm sure most reading are aware, this blog is dedicated to the study of alleged sasquatch dermal ridges and, therefore, making an attempt to build a dermal ridge profile of these supposed animals; that is, if they exist.
Of course, to discuss dermal ridges as a form of evidence, it must also be admitted that such evidence can be faked, although in some cases it would appear to be much more difficult than in others. The following scientific paper by John Bodley of Washington State University's anthropology department outlines one way dermal ridges can be faked in cases where sizes could be similar to those of people. Smaller tracks and handprints, for example, would be easy to fake in this paper's argument. It's a very good read and really highlights the most important philosophy to keep in mind during any scientific inquiry, including this one.
Always question your own hypothesis.
