ABSTRACT
I took another look at the e-mail from Peter Brown. “Everyone would think you had gone nutty,” he warned, and then continued, “Have you ever heard of Grover S. Krantz?” Peter had a point. The late Grover Krantz was an anthropologist and cryptozoologist (the study of hidden animals such as the Loch Ness monster, leprechauns and other little people), well known for being a controversial and outspoken authority on the North American Bigfoot, or Sasquatch. He had written several papers and four books on the topic, and pushed the theory that Bigfoot was a remnant population of the giant ape Gigantopithecus (which is in the same lineage as the orangutan, but which had gone extinct in the late Pleistocene), and was a possible candidate for tribal memories of the Yeti.
