Then there were ones who went to the Iran/Iraq area in the Fertile Crescent, which is where civilisation started and Europeans came from there. They encountered another form of Human, Neanderthals, who were unable to compete with the new comers for food and died out.
Some went East and into Asia and then the Americas.
All this is in proved DNA and well documented in archaeological finds.
Whereas there is no, not a morsel, not a fraction of proof Big Foot, Yeti, Loch Ness monster or the tooth fairy exist. And intelligent people put them in the same category. Unless they are trying to sell you a book on the subject, go figure that one out.

You're close in some aspects, way off in others. There were dozens of pre-humans, including
Gigantopithecus who would have stood at about 10 feet tall.
On a related note, it was commonly thought that the Coelacanth went extinct with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago until someone caught one in the 1940s. Now we know there is a population of about 500 living off the Grand Comoros islands.
As far as what I BELIEVE, then no, I do not think big foot exists. However, I think that definitively ruling out even the remotest possibility based on that belief would be very conceited. Hell, any argument you could make about big foot, either for or against, could also be said of the Tasmanian Tiger - also thought to be extinct, despite lots of anecdotal sightings yet no definitive proof.
