DALE DRINNON: Amendment to the basic Sanderson ABSM map

Here is another amendment I made to the basic Sanderson-ABSMs map, which shows the ranges of the wild men, man-apes and apes in more or less nested succession. The wildmen (within the red outlines) are basically just hairy men and recognised as nearly human in most traditions; the man-apes (within the mahogany outlines) are primarily Sasquatches and others like them with some strongly ape-like and some strongly man-like features (but they are NOT "Intermediates"; they are a separate branch from humans and are only unusual apes after all); and the plain apes (within the orange outlines) are mostly like orangutans although there are ground-living forms and arboreal forms. In both Old World and New World versions, the apes that live more in the trees are more southern and equatorial in range while the more ground-living apes tend more to the northern parts of the range. In North America at least, the ground apes are adapted to live largely on acorns, walnuts, chestnuts and pine nuts but will also eat fruit in season, and they may hoard up the acorns and nuts for future use. In winter the Sasquatches live largely on pine needles but also especially animals that have died from the cold weather, and they in turn seem to store up the frozen carcasses for future use.
