[edit] Almas are a species of ...?

I'm very surprised by the text of this article. It is written as if almas have a confirmed existence and speculation is only whether they are hominids and from which origin. If we have no tissue, no bones, no teeths, no film, ..., only sightings that seem to not be easily reproducible, then I don't see why almas are more real than bigfoots, yetis, fairies, and ghosts.

Can the authors of the article provide more solid evidence? Otherwise the text of the article is not NPOV and should be tuned down by inserting some clear indication that we are dealing with unsubstantiated hypothesis PhS 13:49, 9 March 2006 (UTC).

I toned down the article and added a lot of citation requests. The Singing Badger 17:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

...a species of proto-Ainu Paleoliths? The physical descriptions of Almas sound rather like they are trying to indicate some people who resembled Ainu. The Koreans also tell stories about a kind of human or humanoid creature, called misari, whose body is covered with dense hair and who dwells in the forested mountains foraging for herbs, roots, and berries. Of course, Ainu people also belong to the same species as the rest of extant humanity, Homo sapiens sapiens, and they are perfectly capable of producing fertile offspring with individuals of any other modern ethnic group.
