It is strange how just as the flood story is so widespread, of equal provenance is the tales of other species of "humanoids" (Giants, fairies, trolls, in Europe, Masalai, Ginagabee in the Papua New Guineans and Aboriginals people. China also has its own
crop).  Only Africa and the Americas seem to have cultures deprived of other humanoids (which are the areas where other humanoids were absent!)

John,

 

Other hominids were also absent from Australia.

 

As for North America, have you never heard of Sasquatches, Bigfeet and Florida Swamp Apes?? Many of them belong to the Palefaces' urban folklore, but at least the Sasquatch seems to be an authentic if legendary giant of the Halkomelem. Glen will be better informed about Sasquatches, I suppose.
