Oh and there are also Australopithecines roaming around North America in the #MarkAHalliverse (19/?). They’re the #Euhemerist explanation for any lore about magical little people but, sadly, Hall doesn’t have much to say about them. As a reminder — there are also mini-Merpeople wandering around… hmm, you know, this really might be straining my credulity somewhat.

Oh the #MarkAHalliverse (17/?) is far from done: North America ALSO has #Homo_gardarensis which… is just a member of our species with acromegaly - but not to Hall! The “Taller Hominid” category combines these pathological remains with the Dorset Culture (DEFINITELY not actually Bigfoots), a #Euhemerist explanation for Trolls, and some vague reports. They can also wear clothes! Despite Hall regarding them as very close Homo sapiens-relatives, he draws them as extremely ape-like… weird.

In addition to hominids, the North America of the #MarkAHalliverse (14/?) is home to Giant Monkeys, inexplicably connected to the fossil “Simopithecus” (Theropithecus oswaldi). They sure don’t *look* like Geladas, they’re giant hopping pseudo-kangaroos! These monkeys are also disturbingly intelligent, able to imitate the sounds of other animals… oh and they can wear human clothes , including ceremonial antlers. So basically, this is a #Euhemerist take on #DogMan and similar reports.
