Some exellent points being brought up here.
However, i think that to compare a land animal to a tree dweller is an unfair comparison in this case. Gorillas, Chimps and Orang's are all tree
dwellers to some extent (even if they don't dwell there, they are definately comfortable in them and can move around efficiently). I think its safe
to assume that considering the redwood trees of its habitation zone and the sheer size and weight of her, that bigfoot is not a tree dweller in any
sense of the word. (therefore hand and feet circumstances are vastly different)
Also, i think it may be a bad idea to assume that their skin is black like a chimp's. Look at the nose of bigfoot in that same picture. Her nose is
white. Even though we cannot clearly see the rest of her facial coloring, i think its safer to assume that it is not entirely black (or possibly even
partially black).
Try comparing with a man's caloused feet (or even a bear - which lives in similar circumstances and carries alot of weight around) and i think we get
closer to the true picture. Black bears do not have black skin and even though they are not primates, i think their circumstancial similarities are
what should be looked at here.
