What people said
Gregory ForthCanadian cultural anthropologist, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and author of "Between Ape and Human"
Forth states that he does not find Bigfoot credible and has said so in print, considering the Flores accounts far stronger due to fossil evidence.
“No, I don't find Bigfoot credible. And again, I've said so in print in an earlier book”

Forth contrasts Flores villagers, who gain nothing from reporting sightings, with North American Bigfoot claimants who can seek fame.
“nobody on Flores thinks they're going to become famous by telling me what they've seen, whatever it may have been”

Forth says some paleoanthropologists and biologists find his arguments credible privately but won't say so in print, partly over funding concerns.
“I know paleoanthropologists, biologists as well, who find my arguments credible. But it's very interesting, you know, they'll never say so in print”

Joe RoganAmerican comedian and host of The Joe Rogan Experience
Rogan says the dense Pacific Northwest forests make it plausible that something could hide there and difficult to find footprints or see anything.
“it's so dense that the trees, the way I describe it, it's like a box of Q-tips. It's insanely dense. You can't see anything”
