Another thing about sasquatch gigantism: Paranthropus, journeying through a million years of ice age, got bigger in North America. The ice age ended, though, and everything got smaller or died off, leaving pygmy remnants of once mighty beasts: condors, camels and sloths. Why didn't sasquatch follow this pattern? Most sightings are in California, where it is hot in the south and humid in the north; leading to the Oregon and Washington rainforests.

Well Sasquatch really isn't that big compared to the other megafauna. They are roughly the same size as a grizzly bear. We don't consider them as giants. And some megafauna went extinct due to human hunting, some species may still be here if not for that.

Only big compared to any hominid before or since. Same as a griz, it's a loner omnivore, fitting in, and maybe even bulking up and snoozing for a month or two, but there were also larger bears then, making griz pee and run toward the future where it could claim being cool and tough. Are there more people now considered "little" than "giant?" They may have an advantage. Maybe squatch is also getting smaller. Not so cool, but futuristic.

Perhaps sasquatch is getting smaller but the rate of adaptation is very low because the population is low and the birthrate is low.

Thats a possibility.
