SO EP:491 Sasquatch: A Prehistory of a Living Legend

In this episode, Brian welcomes back Ryan Edwards, author of 'Sasquatch, A Prehistory of a Living Legend' and 'Cryptids of the World.' They discuss the genesis of Ryan's interest in cryptozoology, the inspiration behind his books, and the detailed evolutionary theories about Sasquatch. The conversation covers speculative debates on the origins of Sasquatch, potential candidates like Gigantopithecus and Dryopithecus, and compares known primate behaviors to alleged Sasquatch behaviors like nest building and adaptive intelligence. They also tackle the ecological feasibility of Sasquatch coexisting with other large omnivores and delve into psychological factors influencing Bigfoot sightings.
