Image by William Rebsamen, Used by Permission © 2002, William Rebasamen Table of Contents Benefactors CRYPTO Hominology Special Number II What Are They? Some Thoughts on the Relationships of Unknown Primates and Man Malcolm Smith (© 2002) Investigators have not been slow in speculating on the identities of the unknown primates. Unknown primates are recorded for every continent except Antarctica, while at the same time, there are large numbers of fossil species on record. Common sense tells us that there ought to be a connection. It is far more likely that the current bigfoot, yetis, yowies, almasties, and so forth represent survivals, or at least close relatives, of some fossil species rather than existing in glorious isolation. However, connecting the two presents certain difficulties. The problems forensic science might help put it into perspective. Descriptions of a malefactor by eye-witnesses allow police to produce an identi-kit picture to aid in his capture. However, when the culprit is finally arrested on the basis of other information, it often turns out that he bears only a casual resemblance to the identi-kit picture. Likewise, the discovery of a human skull permits forensic scientists to accurately establish the shape of the overlaying soft tissues, but they cannot determine such features as the pattern of hair or beard, or even the colour of the eyes. Identifying an unknown primate means compounding the shortcomings of both of these sciences. It means using eye-witness testimony, often many years in the past, to relate a living primate to something known only by skeletal material - not an easy task. -
Notes on Sources and Monster Historiography
Notes on Sources and Monster Historiography Those who searched for manlike monsters in the twentieth century— not as metaphors, but as flesh and blood organisms—have gone largely overlooked by academic historians of science. This field, as with cryp- tozoology in general, became the domain of independent amateur chroniclers producing a range of works of varying quality.1 An excel- lent explanation of what cryptozoology attempts to do is found in Chad Arment’s Cryptozoology: Science and Speculation.2 Since the 1960s, scholarly works on anomalous primates, and cryptids in gen- eral, look to place them in the realm of legend and myth: creations of the human mind rather than of evolution.3 These works tend to fall under what Jeffrey Cohen called “monster theory.”4 Works taking an empirical, physical anthropology approach include Gill, Meldrum, and Bindernagel.5 Recent writings have begun to address the lives of the monster hunters, but follow the tradition of focusing on the folkloric and pop culture nature of Bigfoot rather than on the natural history element, and not on the place of cryptozoology in the context of the history of science. This category tends to lean to the exposé or dismissive side.6 Of use to the discussion of monsters in general are scholarly works that attempt to put studies of human monsters into the history of biological systemization and classification.7 A number of methodological issues need to be addressed in the historiography of anomalous primate studies. There are papers col- lections of leading researchers. Grover Krantz, Bernard Heuvelmans, and Ivan Sanderson have accessible materials, as do Carleton Coon and George Agogino. -
Der „Minnesota-Iceman“
Freitagnacht-Kryptos: Der „Minnesota-Iceman“ – Doch echt? Im Herbst des Jahres 1967 besuchte der Zoologe der University of Minnesota, Terry Cullen, die Gegend um Milwaukee. Auf einem Jahrmarkt entdeckte er ein unglaubliches Ausstellungsstück: Den gefrorenen Körper eines angeblich kürzlich getöteten bigfootähnlichen Tieres. In der Kryptozoologie wird er im Folgenden als „Minnesota-Iceman“ bezeichnet. In vielen Artikeln und Veröffentlichungen wird bis heute darüber gestritten, ob dieses Wesen echt oder ob es doch nur ein gut gelungener Scherz war. Handelte es sich bei dem Fund vielleicht sogar um das lange gesuchte „Missing Link“ in der menschlichen Evolution? Cullen begleitete das Ausstellungsstück und den Schausteller Frank Hansen eine ganze Weile durch Wisconsin, Illinois und Minnesota. In diesen Orten wurde es in vielen Einkaufszentren und auf vielen Jahrmärkten ausgestellt. Er versuchte während dieser Zeit örtliche Anthropologie-Professoren auf das interessante Stück aufmerksam zu machen, doch konnte der gefrorene Körper eines möglichen Missing Links deren Interesse nicht wecken. Kein Interesse der Wissenschaft, da muss die Kryptozoologie ran Frank Hansons Sideshow- Bude, ein Portrait des „Icemans“ und der Medienauflauf, wie er damals beworben wurde. Eigentlich kein Wunder, dass sich kein seriöser Wissenschaftler damit den Ruf beschädigen wollte. So benachrichtigte Cullen Ende des Jahres 1968 schließlich Ivan T. Sanderson, Kryptozoologe und Autor des Buches „Abominable Snowmen – Legend come to life“. Sanderson bemühte seine Beziehungen, doch trotzdem wollte sich niemand dieses Relikt ansehen. Durch Zufall war gerade Bernard Heuvelmans bei Sanderson zu Besuch, als diese Ausstellung sich in Minnesota befand. Beide Zoologen machten sich daraufhin auf den Weg und fanden tatsächlich etwas, das wie ein Affenmensch aussah. Über mehrere Tage untersuchten sie das Wesen, so gut es ging. -

To Bobbie Short's Book
Message from the Editor: It is with a heart full of gratitude that I write this ‘editor’s intro’ to Bobbie Short’s book ‘The de facto Sasquatch’. It is due only to the gracious generosity of her daughter, Reverend Kimberley Britton and her webmaster grandson, Chris Millet, that this book is now seeing the light of day. Their support and assistance from the beginning to the very end was essential in completing the task. Thank you, Thom Powell, for introducing Bobbie and I those many years ago.. You began this rich odyssey for me and I am grateful. Also, my heartfelt appreciation to Bobbie’s ‘team’ who were critical in seeing this project to completion - Steve Summar, Sharon Day, Sybilla Irwin, Joe Beelart, M.K. Davis, Don Monroe and RobRoy Menzies.. Your encouragement, support and friendship has made this learning process an immense joy! The artists brought to life the stories on these pages: RobRoy Menzies, Alex Evans and David Claerr. Thank you so much for your talent and dedication. Bobbie and I were working closely on the completion of her book. There are some moments that take your breath away...her passing was such an event, for me and for so many others. Sasquatchery was greatly diminished that day. It is a privilege to at last present the book she worked long and hard to complete. To uphold her tradition of the free flow of information, it is presented in installments, on her website without charge. Bobbie never allowed advertising on her site, though it was offered to her. -
