Pseudo-hominid hypothesis

The pseudo-hominid hypothesis in cryptozoology and cryptohominology, proposes that cryptohominids are not part of the hominid family, but rather "pseudo-hominids", a genus of descendants of the yeti, which the yeti descends from the Northern plains gray langur, having adaptations such as;

* large body size
* more focus on terrestrial locomotion rather than arboreal locomotion
* communitarian hunter-gathering

Yeti descent and the pseudo-hominid hypothesis

Whilst the yeti might not be plausible as a common ancestor of the pseudo-hominid genus, it may actually be plausible in a number of ways, including at least;

* Ape-ish look, perfect for a defense mechanism considering Indian orangutans (breeze.ggtyler.dev...) were animals of sharp teeth, therefore the fear factor that was put into the Indian orangutan would've influenced the adaptational history of the Yeti
[…]
* A focus on community rather than a lone wolf perspective on hunter-gathering

Evidence for the yeti's descent from the Northern plains gray langur and its role as a common ancestor for the pseudo-hominid genus

- There exists a documentation of the ecotypes of the yeti, including the "true" yeti; a ecotype of the yeti with a conical head said to be responsible for leaving footprints in the snow, called the meh-teh or mi-tej in Sino-Tibetian
- Among the documentation of the "true" yeti, it is a stock-built, ape-like animal with a bipedal gait and distinct human gait, now the interesting thing about this ecotype is that it still has the features from its descendant, the Northern plains gray langur, with black eyes, almost decompressed-looking cheeks, and a neutral expression at all times
- The yeti's thick flat skull in comparison with its descendant's skull is an example of the pseudo-hominid parellel adaptational history, one that started because of the species of Indian orangutans
- The nyalmo, a ecotype of the yeti, expands on the carnivorous diet by consuming on yaks, mountain sheep, and possibly people, which may have influenced the carnivorous diet's appetite in pseudo-hominids, and another ecotype of the yeti known as the dzu-teh, is known for its attacks on yaks for killing them by grabbing their horns and twisting their necks, which also could've influenced the carnivorous appetite of the pseudo-hominid genus
