The Yeren of China

Brad is an anthropology student who is providing me this interesting information

This what I know about the Yeren:

Yeren means "wild man" in Chinese. The Yeren is said to be bipedal, over 6 feet tall with a heavy coat of red-brown hair. The footprints are usually between 14-16 inches in length. 

In some reports a second type of yeren is recorded, this one walks on all fours and has longer hair.

Chinese researchers and myself think the Yeren is a descendant of the great fossil ape, Gigantopithecus which lived in Asia between 7 million and 300,000 years ago in the fossil record. 

The gigantopithecus of the fossil record was up to 12 feet tall erect and could have weighed 1000 lbs. In my opinion, with the pressure from the encroaching humans and pressure from panda bears [they ate the same food, bamboo] the gigantopithecus had to either evolve a new way of life or go extinct.

Because gigantopithecus was the longest living fossil ape, I suspect it had great survival instincts and it evolved a new way of life- bipedally. It may have adapted the
ability to walk on two feet to avoid the ever increasing humans and it may have evolved a different diet, because the panda was eating the bamboo supply. So what we have left is an animal that is our modern bigfoot, yeren and possibly yeti.

The second type of yeren is speculated to be an undiscovered variety of
mainland orangutan. I personally think the second Yeren is a very large
unidentified species of macaque monkey.
