A scientific look at the evidence surrounding the myth of the legendary beast. Science requires solid evidence for the existence of a new species - footprints and sightings by local people are never enough. A type specimen must be obtained, which is then described in a scientific journal and continues to be available for theory experts to examine. For modern mammals this normally consists of a skin and skull that show distinctions from all similar specimens. In his book, Dr. Krantz dissects the evidence out there, using 1965 as the starting point. Using science, his discussions center on footprints, sitings, fossil records, and of course the famous Patterson film. He looks at the difficulty in faking evidence, and explores the mythology of this creature.… (mere)

Considered one of the original “four horsemen” and the only one to have full academic qualifications, Dr. Grover S. Krantz is one of the most important figures in the search for a native North American ape. Bigfoot Sasquatch Evidence: The Anthropologist Speaks Out is Grover S. Krantz looking at the evidence he’s studied since 1965 to conclude that there is a nonhuman bipedal in North America.

Originally published in 1992 and republished with an addendum in 1999, Krantz looked at the evidence supporting the existence of Sasquatch in the first two-thirds of the original book from looking at the footprint evidence and then analyzing the Patterson-Gimlin film subject and all the evidence pointing to its authenticity of a real animal. The final third of the original text was Krantz looking at evidence of other unknown bipedal animals from around the world and examining those researching Sasquatch. Three academic articles that Krantz wrote were added at the end of the original book followed by the 1999 addendum that Krantz addressed major and minor developments but doing so by following chapter title of the original edition and inserting information there thus giving these added pages a nice structure. Overall Krantz is an academic writer and while he gets the information across his style is boring—he is not a Jeff Meldrum, who is referenced a lot in the addendum, that can be academic for the general reader—however that doesn’t mean that the book is bad just not amazing.

Bigfoot Sasquatch Evidence is an academic’s look into the possibility of a bipedal ape in North America, Dr. Grover S. Krantz is a thorough writer though very lively in his delivery. ( )
