Yes, primates have very close DNA, I think only 1 chromosome is different if I remember well.
Also, do you know that in BC, the authorities receive in average 1 Sasquatch sighting a day (around 300 a year). It's also incredible that Natives had the Sasquatch in their legends, what did they knew about primates? Especially up north, how would they know about primates (except for humans).
But, the fact that we still haven't found one pretty much shows that it doesn't exists. I mean, with our technology and the fact that Canada isn't Amazonia, it would be hard for a creature (that big) to still hide.
But on the other hand, Environment Canada does have feces samples that would be made by a mammal that has a diet close to what humans could eat (fruits, plants and meat) and it has been proven it's not from a kind of bear. The feces are more "human-like" feces but while analyzing the content, they found stuff that humans wouldn't eat. Still today they still don't know what mammal could have produced those feces samples.
The Native legend that I like is the one about the Thunberbird, an Eagle so big that it can catch a whale.... They have painting about that in caves in British Columbia.
I don't rule out the Sasquatch, but the more time goes, the less we have a chance to find one. I think that if it may have exist one day, it's may have disappeared before the white man comes to America.
IS there proofs that Russian have never set foot in America before Columbus? I mean, Our natives comes from Siberia and Mongolia but after that? Maybe the Sasquatch's legends comes from some Siberian, crossing the Bering sea to hunt during the winter dressed in fur. I mean, those people may have been over 6' tall at the time (I'm talking about Middle Ages) and that would have made them giant to Natives of that era. The boots would be the big feet of the Sasquatch. Is it possible? That would explain that the myth started on the west coast.
It's proven that Vikings used to come on Canada's west coast during the Middle Ages, so why not western tribes crossing the Bering sea? It happened during the pre-historic ages, so why not later? I'm just asking.
