Condition remarks:

Pages: Good
Markings: No markings
A compelling work of cryptozoology and paleoanthropology, Wildmen: Yeti, Sasquatch and the Neanderthal Enigma presents a bold and rigorously researched argument that legendary creatures such as the Yeti and Sasquatch may not be mere myth, but rather surviving populations of archaic hominids, most notably Neanderthals. Myra Shackley, a trained archaeologist, brings academic authority to a subject often dismissed by mainstream science, marshaling fossil evidence, eyewitness accounts, and anthropological data to construct a serious case for the biological reality of these elusive beings. The tone is measured and scholarly yet genuinely thrilling, as Shackley chronicles reported sightings from the Himalayas to the forests of North America and connects them to what the archaeological record tells us about early human relatives. She argues that the persistence and geographic spread of wildman legends across vastly different cultures cannot be easily explained away, and that the possibility of relic hominid survival deserves honest scientific scrutiny. The result is a thought-provoking and surprisingly persuasive read that sits at the fascinating intersection of archaeology, folklore, and evolutionary biology.
