Here ya go.
Similar creatures ( Yeti, Big-Foot, Sasquatch ) are present in folk stories from the Himalaia up to the American West Coast.
The main hypothesis used by the criptozoologists is based on an extinct big primate, the Gigantopithecus blaki, which coexisted with the Homo Erectus at China. They are gone for around ~125,000 years.
Well, you can formulate all weird theories as you wish, but what really matters are the proofs and concrete evidence :)
I've heard about the "ape-like fur" or something found by a sherpa near Mt. Everest but later it was said to be hoax or misconception.
Except in pure mathematics, nothing is known for certain (although much is certainly false).
