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.Get Ryan's New BookGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Book Sasquatch Unleashed The Truth Behind The LegendLeave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsVisit Hangar 1 Publishing00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:14 Discussing the First Book: Cryptids of the World 01:35 Diving into the New Book: Sasquatch Unleashed 02:14 Speculating on Sasquatch's Origins 04:55 Comparing Sasquatch to Other Primates 19:36 Modern Day Sasquatch Theories 20:14 Sasquatch and Primate Behavior 25:12 Ecological and Physiological Considerations 37:09 Conclusion and Book InformationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
