Many have heard of Bigfoot or Yeti. Scientists are quite skeptical about talking about him. This is understandable, because there is no physical evidence of the existence of the Yeti. Sometimes people are assured that scraps of fur or footprints are evidence that prehistoric hominids may have survived to this day. However, they do not pass the test. For example, DNA analysis of incomprehensible scraps of wool proves that they belong to animals.
However, supporters of Bigfoot's existence are trying to prove its reality. Several years ago, expeditions to the Azasskaya cave were conducted in the Kemerovo region. This region is inhabited by a small Shor people. They told about a creature resembling a yeti.
In 2009, two expeditions went to the mysterious cave. Scientist Igor Burtsev took part in them. They managed to find a large trail and a path along which an unknown creature was moving. In 2010, researchers stumbled upon an impromptu "hut". 14 branches were bent towards the center. The participants of the event concluded that in front of them was a dwelling capable of protecting from inclement weather. The creature that created it has not been found.
Mysterious footprint.
The most famous expedition took place in 2011. Boxer Nikolai Valuev took part in it. A friend told him about the mysterious Bigfoot. In and near the Azasskaya cave, incomprehensible large footprints were found. Interestingly, the Yeti is also credited with the domestication of animals. For example, a cat was found in the area. According to a member of the expedition, he himself could not appear here. It means that someone brought him here and fed him.

This story is notable for the fact that it attracted the attention of the media. It is clear that not every day famous personalities (for example, Valuev) participate in such events. But did these expeditions benefit science?
Let's assume that Bigfoot really exists. A lot of oral evidence has accumulated about him in different regions of the world. But archaeological evidence of this is also important. A humanoid creature must leave traces of its activities. They can be, for example, labor tools. Where are they? Why weren't they found on any of the expeditions?

It should be noted that this region is sparsely populated. Even a full-fledged power supply appeared here recently. Around the forest. It is not surprising that in such a place rumors about Bigfoot arose. It seems that they saw him, but no one was able to catch and show the public.
I think that such stories can be heard a lot in remote places. Should they all be trusted? Everyone has their own opinion. But the public's attention is riveted by famous personalities. In this case, it is important to remember that Valuev is not a specialist in human anthropogenesis. His opinion cannot be scientifically valuable.
