What evolutionary pressures would lead to solitary hominids?

+0
−0

Solitary humanoids aren't uncommon in works of fantasy/cryptozoology with Bigfoot coming to mind. What I want to know is What evolutionary pressures would lead to solitary humanoids? Some characteristics of my solitary humanoids include:

  • being 7 feet tall
  • have human-level intelligence
  • are mostly solitary similar to orangutans
  • are mostly bipedal but can run on all fours while running
  • are omnivorous
  • are diurnal
  • Are mostly covered in a thick, coarse fur. Like that of wolverines
  • are 3 times stronger than humans
  • have sharp claws (optional)
  • have a stronger sense of hearing and smell
  • have proportionately longer arms
  • can interbreed with humans but the resulting offspring are always infertile similar to mules (optional)
