I guess the easiest overall theory would be that the <em> Shamans</em> pretend an ability to change into Thing One <em>and</em> into Thing Two, and afterwards The Two Things were considered equivalent.<br /><br />If there are such things as huge relic Zinjanthropes living in the swampy areas of the congo basin, they could indeed be viewed as "Swamp Monsters" analogous to the Skunk Apes of North America. And I think that that must be what the Muhaluu, Mulahu, Lulu and Tano Giant must be-except their height is much exaggerated. They are only the largesized variations of the Apamandi=Kikomba, which are about the size of Neanderthals but at a much lower level of development. Some kinship of the "Ogres" to the "Hairy Little Men of the Forests" is assumed in these traditions as well.<br /><br />And actually, I would probably not have thought them to be Australopithecines myself were it not for the witness' sketches in Heuvelmans' book. I believe these were transmitted through Charles Cordier.<br /><br />Best Wishes, Dale D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
