In recent years, reports of witnessing snowmen have occurred from time to time. In 2002, British "The Times" reported that scientists at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom found a bunch of hair on a branch in the Himalayas of Bhutan. The DNA test of the hair by the zoologist Robo McCall It was found that this group of hair does not belong to any species known to man .
Researchers suspect that this hair is from the legendary "Snowman" in the Himalayas. They believe that Himalayas snowman is a slow-evolving race among ancient humans. Some scholars believe that the snowman is a direct descendant of prehistoric animals. So what kind of species is it?
The saying that snowman exists in the Himalayas has been circulated among local herdsmen. In 1948, had a herder named Sanda who was attacked by a snowman and was severely injured by the snowman’s claws. Unfortunately, news of his death spread. It is said that people smelled a strong odor on Sonda's corpse at that time, but the odor was not corpse odor, but similar to the body odor left by a snowman, which was similar to body odor.
However, in many legends about the snowman, the image of the snowman is not all the beast that attacks and kills humans. There are also examples of the snowman helping humans ,For example, a Captain named Ovi Valley in Galgoda reported that he once encountered a snowman.
One day in 1938, Owei Valley traveled alone in the Himalayas, but unfortunately he encountered a heavy snow storm, plus the snow blindness caused by staying in the snow for a long time. Weigu can't see anything. He couldn't make out the direction, and he couldn't even find a place to hide from the wind and snow temporarily.
Without any measures to call for help, Aoweigu realized that his body temperature was losing rapidly during the storm, but he had nothing to do but waited desperately for death, waiting for himself to become a frozen corpse. Just when Alvey Valley was becoming unconscious and approaching death, suddenly felt some warm and tall animal covering his body to protect , and the body temperature that was gradually lost also warmed up.
When Aowei Valley's consciousness gradually awakened, the storm stopped and the tall animals also left. Aoweigu couldn't see the animal's appearance, but he could smell the strong body odor left by the animal.
"Snowman" scalp collected by Nepalese temples
In addition to Owei Valley, a Sherpa girl from Nepal also got help from the snowman. At that time, the girl was cutting wood on the mountain, and she was suddenly attacked by a snow leopard . This snow leopard should have been eyeing the girl a long time ago, taking advantage of the girl's lack of precaution to look at the throat and launch a fatal blow. At the critical moment, another fierce beast suddenly rushed up to fight the snow leopard, and the girl took the opportunity to escape and save her life. After that, according to the girl’s account, another beast might be a snowman.Because she saw that the other party had red hair on his head and the body was covered by white hair.
A veteran of Bomi County, Tibet, Mr. Zhang, also told the expedition team about his experience of witnessing a snowman . According to his dictation, at the time he heard the herdsmen say that there were snowmen harming their animals, Lao Zhang rushed to the scene and saw the torso of bloody animals on the ground being torn apart, and someone suddenly shouted
Quickly look at the mountain. Zhang looked up and saw something moving in the snow. He quickly took out his binoculars and saw eight or nine huge hairy monsters with the corpses of cows, horses and other animals on their backs facing the mountain. Go.
According to Mr. Zhang, These monsters are about 2.5 meters tall . For the herders at that time, those animals were very valuable property. Although he was a little bit distraught, Lao Zhang still led people to chase them, but when they arrived at the mountain, the monsters were long gone. At that time, it was snowing and the footprints were covered, so Lao Zhang had to take some people around to look around, but finally did not find a trace of the snowman.
These are just local rumors, but there is no evidence of the snowman's real existence, so although the rumors continue, it has not attracted widespread attention. until a photo of snowman footprints span2span , the snow talents in the Himalayas have attracted the attention of people all over the world.
This photo was taken by the British explorer Shipton,The filming time was 1951. From the photo, you can see that this footprint has a valgus thumb and a distinct arch. These are characteristics that only primate feet can have. The footprint is 33.3 cm long and 18.8 cm wide. Judging by the size of the footprints, the creature is 2 to 3 meters tall. According to the rumors and photos of the footprints, this creature is tall and humanoid, and its body is covered with hair. It is fierce and powerful. This seems to be in line with anthropoid ape.

Are snowmen a race of great apes that have not evolved into humans in prehistoric times? The new discoveries made by archaeologists in Jiashan area seem to be evidence of speculation. What exactly did the archaeologists find in Jiashan?
At the end of the last century, the archaeological team discovered a batch of primitive pottery and stone tools near Jiashan. After testing, it was found that these primitive artifacts were only a few hundred years old. This surprised the archaeologists. A hundred years ago, mankind left the ignorance period and entered a more civilized era.
Who made and used primitive artifacts in the civilized age? Archaeological researchers visited the local residents and heard the existence of the Goki from the mouths of the elderly. Legend has it that the aboriginal people living in the Jiashan area are not the aboriginal people of the area, but they migrated because of wars or natural disasters. and the aboriginal people of Jiashan are the Gogi . At the beginning, the two races developed Fight for the living habitat.
Before the start of the fight, the two races agreed to use snowballs to attack each other, whoever wins the territory belongs to which side. In the beginning, the latecomers couldn't beat the strong Gokis, so they thought of a way to wrap the white stone in the snow and beat them. In this way, the latecomers defeated the Gokis.It is said that the retired Goki finally migrated to live in the snow-capped mountains to the south, and the people in Jiashan still have the habit of placing white stones on the roof.
Some people think that the snowy mountains in the south of the legend are the Himalayas today . From a geographical point of view, this is indeed true, and the descendants of the Himalayas are naturally the Gogis. Later, under the leadership of the villagers, the archaeological team also discovered several caves on Jiashan. These caves have obvious traces of artificial excavation, which can confirm that they are not naturally formed, and all the caves have large stones that have been carefully polished.
Researchers believe that these stones are used as sleeping beds. Obviously, they can be used to polish the stone bed. cannot be ordinary beasts. Local villagers believe that these caves were the original residences of the Gogis. Some researchers speculate that the Gokis should be a group of slow-evolving races, living in the same period as ancient humans, but because their slow-evolving brains were not as developed as our ancestors, they were slowly eliminated in the competition of the living environment. , And a few survivors hid in the mountains and lived in the harsh and enclosed environment of the mountains.
Researchers infer that the slower evolution of the Gogis directly led to the fact that they were still apes in the sightings of the last century. Of course, this is only the guess of researchers. The archaeological community has not yet found substantive evidence that can directly prove the existence of the Gogis in Jiashan. Some scientists have detected the hair of a suspected snowman and concluded that the creature is not any known species of mankind. But actually not only has hair, but foreign explorers have even picked up the corpse of a snowman and made a mummy . Some biologists tested the snowman mummies,Came to another completely opposite conclusion.
The Russian Communist Youth League Pravda once reported a piece of news. It is said that two explorers from Georgia, USA, found the dead body of a Himalaya snowman _span21span, And they sold it for $10 million, but they did not disclose any information about the buyer. The two explorers were named Matthew and Rick. The two said that they encountered this animal carcass that looked similar to humans in the virgin jungle deep in the Himalayas in July of that year.
From the appearance, its body is covered with hair, and from the outside, the cause of death of the creature that looks like a snowman seems to be caused by a very serious eye injury and then infection of the wound. However, some scientists have always been skeptical of the Himalayas snowmen, thinking that the snowmen are nothing more than legendary creatures, and they simply cannot exist in reality.
Professor Brian believes that people can fabricate a non-existent creature, but humans cannot fabricate a non-existent DNA sequence from a single hair. Well, today, Mr. Caoye will talk here, Do you think that the Himalayas snowmen are descendants of the Goki people? Or a prehistoric species?
