I visited John Green yesterday with Thomas Steenburg. It was a fruitful visit, in particular, able to see the his version of Skookum cast (in normal dimension, not reversed cast).
Here is a summary:
1. He expresses strongly that he couldn't see any pattern in sasquatch sightings and footprint locations. But he states that females and infants are rarely seen. Most sightings are male sasquatch. Males are "more likely" to venture out to areas closer to human. He does agree on using an assumed primate model of orangutan's social structure may be appropriated.
2. In the continuation of talking about possible sasquatch's social and family structure, the case of Clackamus Rivers, Oregon October, 1967 was bought up. Mr. Green confirms that the female stood between the male and her infant. The infant seemed to be afraid of the male. This may be an indication that male and female don't live together at all time. This may also supports the orangutan model.
3. I asks him about if he is the first person suggesting sasquatch as Gigantopithecus, he replies that he never tried to connect sasquatch and Gigantopithecus as Dr. Krantz did. He simply wrote that there were apes in the past as big as sasquatch; the possibilities of having a big ape species in the presence is not as remote as one thinks.
4. He thinks that sasquatch are more ape-like than human-like.
5. Sensitive issue, but he agrees with the "pro-kill" philosophy.
6. There are hair-impressions on the Achilles tendon in the Skookum cast.
cheers,
