Marijke is the Customer Service Supervisor at Boffins and has been a Boffin for over five years, and a bird fanatic for even longer. She reads anything interesting.
This new book from Bryan Sykes is a wonderful mix of hard science and mystery. Sykes is most well known for his work with mitochondrial DNA and this book is the story of his adventures with cryptozoologists to find solid evidence of the existence of Bigfoot. By turns hilarious and fascinating, this book explores the origins of ‘ape-man’ legends and the first hunters of these creatures, and also discusses the speculated interbreeding between homo sapiens and Neanderthal people in Europe. Sykes also goes into some detail on the techniques used to identify remains such as bones and hairs from our ancestors. This book is a fascinating read not just for the scientifically minded, but those intrigued by the unexplained.
