DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe native peoples of North America are the source of the oldest stories about Sasquatch. Tales circulated about a "wild man of the woods," and several newspapers reported of scary encounters by hunters and trappers during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The legend of Bigfoot was born. This enthralling book recounts the long history of the Bigfoot myth, lore, and sightings, adopting a judicious, even-handed approach to the evidence and claims. It also examines the claims made for similar ape-men figures, like the Yeti, the Skunk Ape, the Maricoxi, the Australian Yowie, the Asian Wild Man, and the Orang Pendek. Rich in lore, legend, and lush imagery, this book may make you reconsider everything you thought you knew and believed to be true about the "Big Man."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"...you're talking about a yeti or bigfoot or sasquatch. Well now, you'll be amazed when I tell you that I'm sure they exist." —Jane Goodall on NPR This is "The Big Book of Yetis." What the reader gets here is a world-class geneticist's search for evidence for the existence of Big Foot, yeti, or the abominable snowman. Along the way, he visits sites of alleged sightings of these strange creatures, attends meetings of cryptozoologists, recounts the stories of famous monster-hunting expeditions, and runs possible yeti DNA through his highly regarded lab in Oxford. Sykes introduces us to the crackpots, visionaries, and adventurers who have been involved in research into this possible scientific dead-end over the past 100 years. Sykes is a serious scientist who knows how to tell a story, and this is a credible and engaging account. Almost, but not quite human, the yeti and its counterparts from wild regions of the world, still exert a powerful atavistic influence on us. Is the yeti just a phantasm of our imagination or a survivor from our own savage ancestry? Or is it a real creature? This is the mystery that Bryan Sykes set out to unlock.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about... BIGFOOT! In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins! From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKProfessor Bryan Sykes, the world's leading expert on human genetics, set a goal to locate and analyse as many DNA samples as possible with links to the yeti. In doing so, he found himself entering a strange world of mystery and sensationalism, fraud and obsession and even the supernatural. Protected by the ruthless vigour of genetic analysis he was able to listen to the stories of the yeti without having to form an opinion. The only opinion that mattered was the DNA. Three hair samples from the miogi, the Bhutanese yeti are the cause of the investigation. The hairs did not surrender their secrets easily, but eventually two were identified as known species of bear. The third remained a mystery. One of the many theories to account for the yeti legend is that there were small groups of Neanderthals that had managed to survive until recent times. If so, would it be possible to detect recent interbreeding between our own species and Neanderthals in the genomes of indigenous people living in remote regions? Professor Sykes has made some surprising and significant discoveries. Discoveries that could change our understanding of human origins.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLearn About The Many Mysterious Ape Men Of Our World Bigfoot, also called Sasquatch, is thought to be a large, hairy, ape-like being that inhabits some of the dense forests and remote mountain ranges of North America. Although solid, scientific evidence of the creature is lacking, stories of sightings and encounters have been steadily accumulating throughout the years. As a result, Bigfoot has been placed in the category of so-called "cryptids" -- creatures that are thought by some to exist on Earth, but have yet to be properly documented by modern science. Others in this category include the mysterious, waterborne, dinosaur-like being popularly known as "the Loch Ness monster", as well as the goat-eating Chupacabra of South America. Due to the sheer volume of eyewitness accounts involving Bigfoot, most people in the Western hemisphere recognize the general description of this creature. What few may realize, however, is that the Sasquatch is not unique to North America. Or, at least, stories of mysterious, bipedal hominids are not. From the mountainous regions of Nepal to the wild outback of Australia, tales of such beings have existed throughout history. In many cases, the descriptions of these creatures seem to match Bigfoot. So, then, a few questions naturally arise: Are these all part of a singular, long-lost species of great ape, or are they separate beings with different genetic lineages? How similar are they to each other, where do they to live, and is there any evidence of their existence? In this book, we will explore these questions, and many more, as we go through fascinating accounts of sightings, encounters, and possible findings relating to the many elusive ape-like cryptids of our world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Though the terms 'Bigfoot' and 'Sasquatch' have only been in our popular vocabulary since the late 1950s, people have been seeing large, bipedal, hairy monsters for as long as we've been keeping records ... Collecting newspaper reports from the 1830s through the 1920s, the articles in this volume show that Bigfoot is not new, nor is it a phenomenon confined to the Northwest United States and Canada. Bigfoot creatures seem to have been roaming Pennsylvania for as long as anyone can remember"--Back cover.
