An Excellent Introduction to a complex subject,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Giant Humanlike Beasts (Unsolved Mysteries) (Paperback)
This is a good introductory book for children with a beginning interest in learning more about the Himalayan Abominable Snowmen (Yeti), Chinese Wildmen (Yeren), Asian Almas, North American Bigfoot (Sasquatch), and Brian Innes's apparent theory that they all (!) may be Neandertals. The gaps are minor - a couple of allegedly hoaxed photographs are included (an Ivan Marx "Bigfoot" on a rock ledge and the de Loys's "ape"). But those pictures don't distract from this being a short (42 pages of text with 33 images) volume that hits the goal of overviewing a complex subject nicely. School libraries should buy this book to support the curious minds of budding biologists, anthropologists, and cryptozoologists. For the young readers that start here, they will want to move on to The Field Guide to Bigfoot, Yeti, and Other Mystery Primates Worldwide (Avon 1999; 224 pp) next to learn another view - that all of these "giant humanlike beasts" are not just the same thing, not a single species, and some may indeed be Gigantopithecus, Paranthropus, and Homo erestus, as well.
