Chuchunaa
Description: Described as around around 6 and 1/2 feet
tall, at least 2 meters. Wears Clothes. Has the ability to use
fire. Seem to be Nomadic. Reports indicate they do use weapons namely bows. They are human-like with a small forehead, protruding brow, dark face, long matted hair, a full beard, and walks with its hands hanging below its knees.
Location: East Siberia.
What Are They: They could be modern people living a feral lifestyle, relict bands of surviving Homo Erectus or ancient Aborigines.
Homo Erectus was known to use fire and it was known to be nomadic, after all it was the first hominid to move out of Africa. H. Erectus were never known to wear clothes but this could change given the environment in which the
Chuchunaa live. It is possible that
when the more advanced modern humans started moving into Asia they pushed the H. Erectus populations into less desirable places.
The region in which the Chuchunaa live is obviously undesirable. So the Chuchunaa may be the last living specimens of Homo Erectus, now living in Siberia. This is very unlikely because of the human-like descriptions and ebcause of common sense. Some Soviet scientists think the Chuchunaa could be the last surviving populations of the Siberian paleo-asiatic aborigines that retreated to the upper reaches of the Yana and Indigirka
rivers. Chuchunaa are most likely either Feral Humans or Aborigine Humans.
The last reliable sightings of the Chuchunaa were in the 1950s, so whatever the Chuchunaa was, we may never know
because they are probably extinct.
Report: "After the revolution, in the 1920's, the inhabitants of our villafe met a Chuchunaa, while gathering berries. He too was plucking berries with both hands and stuffing them in his mounth, and when he saw the poeple he stood up straight. He was very tall and lean, say over 2 m. He was dressed in a deer skin, and was barefoot. He had a big face, like a man's but dark. His forehead was small and hung over his eyes like a peaked cap. He had a big chin, broad and much bigger than a man's. All in all he was like a man, but of much greater stature. After a second he ran off. He ran very quickly, leaping high after every third step."
