  • Colin Groves 7:6-11
    The RELICT HOMINOID INQUIRY 7:6-11 (2018) News IN MEMORIAM: COLIN GROVES Emeritus Professor Colin Groves passed away on 30 November 2017. He was 75. An eminent academic, Colin was an editorial board member of the Relict Hominoid Inquiry. A world-renowned taxonomist, mammologist, primatologist, paleoanthropologist, and biological anthropologist, he was also interested in cryptozoology— particularly in the possible existence of relict hominoids. To this subject he brought an open mind that expected a rigorous scientific approach from researchers. His clear and objective thinking, deep knowledge of mammals and hominins, articulate communication, and his generosity with his time were valuable assets to the editorial board of RHI and researchers. He was a member of the International Society of Cryptozoology, and I recall that he lamented the demise of the journal Cryptozoology, and much appreciated its re-emergence. Colin was awarded a BSc in Anthropology in 1963 (London), and in 1966, was awarded his PhD (London). He was invited to apply for a lectureship at the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology at the Australian National University, arriving in Australia in 1974. In 1980, he was appointed Senior Lecturer; in 1988, Reader; in 2000, he was awarded a Professorship and upon his retirement in 2015, he was bestowed an emeritus position. During his career, he identified more than 50 species of animals. As late as November 2017, he was involved in the publication of research that identified a new species of orangutan in Sumatra, although, in his typical fashion, he downplayed his role in this research. He was researching and producing publications until just a week before he passed away.

BUSH - ABORIGINAL CAMP - NIGHT SUPERIMPOSE: Northern Territory, Australia A large campfire burns, spits, crackles under a perfect night sky. The nocturnal wildlife is vibrant and alive. Dust fills the air as a group of INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS painted in white symbols, holding spears begin their dance. Slow foot stomps are accompanied by boomerang clapsticks and a softly played didgeridoo - Their hunt begins. EXT. BUSH - SMALL CLEARING - CONTINUOUS The sound echoes through the bush and grabs the attention of two twenty something British campers. PHIL, ponytail, snob, and ZOE, his female equivalent jump out, excited, half naked from their tiny two man tent. PHIL You see, I told you we didn’t need to join that overpriced tour party. They rush around the tiny camp getting dressed. Zoe rummages through her bag. ZOE Yep, good call. (beat) Where’s the camera? The noise grows louder. Phil’s interest peaks, he ignores Zoe. PHIL Hurry up would ya! Getting a video of the Natives doing some sort of Tribal thing would be great for my travel story. Flustered, Zoe throws her bag to the floor and looks at Phil’s - A big bulge sticks out the side. She rummages through it, pulls out a video camera. PHIL (CONT’D) Oh good, you found it, let’s go.

Despite the many challenges posed by the high level of biological and social complexity, a long lifespan and difficult access in the field, genetic studies of primates are particularly rewarding because of the close evolutionary relatedness of these species to humans.

  • Yetis, Yowies and Dinosaur Trees: Amazing Finds in the Hunt for Living Legends
    Yetis, Yowies and dinosaur trees: amazing finds in the hunt for living legends https://theconversation.com/yetis-yowies-and-dinosaur-trees-amazing-fin... 21 October 2013, 2.36pm AEST Bill Laurance Distinguished Research Professor and Australian Laureate at James Cook University You might think the idea of a Yeti is far-fetched, but don’t tell that to Oxford University Professor Bryan Sykes - or to the locals in Australian towns like Kilcoy and Woodenbong. Sykes created a global frenzy when he recently announced that the Yeti might well exist. His analyses were based on two hair samples collected 800 miles apart in the Woodenbong at sunrise: could a Yowie really be lurking in the Himalayas. surrounding woods? Flickr/gaw101 (Greg Wilson) When he analysed the DNA in those hairs, he found they perfectly matched the DNA of an ancient polar bear. According to Sykes, this could mean the polar bear is alive and kicking in the high Himalayas today. Those who claim to have seen the Yeti describe it as shaggy, bipedal and very shy, and Sykes reckons his ancient bear fits the ticket. People who study legendary creatures such as the Yeti or its Australian equivalent, the Yowie, are called cryptobiologists. They run the gamut from mainstream scientists to fringe types claiming to have been attacked by giant man-eating plants or kidnapped by aliens. But while the creatures they’re searching for can seem far-fetched, we shouldn’t dismiss cryptobiologists as cranks - because in their search for living legends, they have uncovered some amazing lost creatures. Yowie spotting in Australia Accounts of Yowies by Europeans hark back to 1876, when a report of an “indigenous ape” appeared in the Australian Town and Country Journal.
