Wiesbaden (ape-man-blog) - The "Bild" presented at the Internet address http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/mystery-themen/2009/08/kryptozoologie-yeti-nessie/schneemensch-ziegenaussauger-lindwurm.html an interesting interview with the famous German cryptozoologists Michael Schneider . The interesting article entitled 'What is it about "Nessie", "Yeti" & Co ". In his book "traces of the unknown - Reloaded: cryptozoology, monsters, myths and legends" Michael Schneider deals with the pros and cons to cryptozoology.
excerpt from the paperback "ape-men" of the Wiesbaden-based science writer Ernst Probst:
The legendary Abominable Snowman "Yeti" in the Himalayas, taken together with the Scottish sea monster "Nessie" and the North American ape-man Bigfoot, as one of the most famous monsters of the earth. He was already in the 15th Century by a European mercenary described.
The term "Yeti" comes from the language of the Sherpas, the native habitat in the mysterious snow man. Your word "yeh-teh" is widely translated as "man in the rocks" or "pet in the rocks."
Of the two types of the Sherpas "Yeti" be distinguished: The larger version is described as a mixture of human and monkey with a height of more than 2 meters, and dark brown in color. The smaller version will be smaller than an average man and wear a reddish-brown fur. Both forms are supposed to maintain.
According to the researcher Ivan T. Sanderson, Bernard Heuvelmans and Loren Coleman, there were three types of "Yeti" is the approximately 1 meter "pygmy yeti" ("Teh-Ima), the up to 1.80 meters wide" real Yeti "(Meh-Teh") and the up to 2.70 meters tall "Giant Yeti (Dzu-Teh) with up to 50 centimeters long feet. From the "Yeti" numerous sightings and footprints, and two scalps, one hand and drawings are known in Tibetan monasteries.
Many sightings of the "Yeti" played probably the Tibetbär or Bluebear (Ursus arctos pruinosus) play a role. It keeps the climber and adventurer Reinhold Messner from South Tyrol for that animal, which became the legendary figure, and legends about the "Yeti" nourished in the cultures of the Himalayan peoples played an important role.
cryptozoologists bring the "Yeti" with the huge, about 3 meters wide and an estimated 600-pound prehistoric apes "Gigantopithecus Blackie" name. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigantopithecus
After a daring "Cosmic Ice Theory", to which some believed the Nazis, was the "Yeti" even as "cold-resistant Ur-Germanic".
The first description of "Gigantopithecus Blackie "was based on unusually massive molars, which were the palaeoanthropologically Gustav Heinrich von Koenigswald (1902-1982) noticed in Chinese pharmacies, the" dragon's teeth 'were the medicine. In 1935, he found two of these massive teeth in Hong Kong and one in Canton, in 1939 another one in Hong Kong. In 1935, awarded by Koenigswald species name "Gigantopithecus Blackie" (Greek: "gigas", "Gigantos" = giant, "pithekos" = monkey) is reminiscent of the Canadian anatomist Davidson Black Professor in 1934 in Beijing at his desk - the skull of a prehistoric Peking man in his hand - a Heartbeat had succumbed. The German anatomist
Franz Weidenreich (1873-1948), who had by Koenigswald plaster casts of the teeth of "Gigantopithecus Blackie" ("Black Giant Apes") are wrote, this is not an ape, but a huge man. He believed in human evolution it has been a period of huge growth. But in 1956 a Chinese farmer discovered in the cave Liucheng an impressive jaw with teeth typical of "Gigantopithecus Blackie", which, like other findings clearly from there came from apes. The
with the Orang Utan related and probably vegetarian diet of bamboo, "Gigantopithecus blacki "existed about 1 million years in China and Vietnam. Only about half the size of this ape was "Gigantopithecus giganteus" in the 1968 jaw fragment was discovered.
"Gigantopithecus" died out about 250,000 years ago. Regardless of American soldiers still do it during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s have seen.
Wiesbaden (ape-man-blog) - In the view of crypto zoologists who are looking worldwide for hidden animals (cryptids), live on the earth, numerous unknown species awaiting discovery. So far on our "blue planet" about 1.5 million animal species known. Some scientists suspect that more than 15 million animal species are still undiscovered or undescribed.
The relatively new research field of cryptozoology was by the Belgian zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans (1916-2001) founded and named in 1950. He collected thousands of reports, legends, Say, histories and evidence of hidden animals and had a lasting influence through his work doing the crypto zoology. As a branch of cryptozoology apply Dracontologie that deals with the Wasserkryptiden that Hominologie dealing with apes man, and the Mythological cryptozoology, which explores the origins of mythical creatures.
The cryptozoology moves partially between serious science and fantasy. Cryptozoologists do not believe that our planet has already given up all zoological mysteries, although satellites regularly monitor the entire Earth's surface. In their view, is what under the canopy of tropical rain forests or in the depths of the oceans exist, hidden from even the most modern spy technology.
the cryptozoologists that there are on Earth to discover yet a surprising number of previously unknown species. On all five continents - so believe cryptozoologists - such as life-sized "monkey people". The most famous of them are "Yeti" in the Himalayas, "Bigfoot" in North America, "Orang Pendek" ("short man") in Sumatra and "Alma" in Mongolia. As the ape-men are also "Chuchunaa" in eastern Siberia, "Nguoi Rung" in Vietnam, "De-Loys-monkey" in South America, the "Skunk Ape" from Florida, "Yeren" in China and Yowie in Australia.
As apes are - according to "Wikipedia" - "ape-like", that is not at all the characteristics of the species Homo sapiens representative of "real people" (hominids), equipped known. They are among the most famous Landkryptiden.
Ernst Probst, author of the paperback "monkey man", is not crypto-zoologist, nor does he believe in the existence of "ape men". Nevertheless, he found this topic interesting enough to write about it. His 85-page paperback "ape man" is on "for GRIN academic texts "and published in book wholesalers" Libri "at the Internet address http://www.libri.de/shop/action/productDetails/7595928/ernst_probst_affenmenschen_3640125908.html available.
interview with the Wiesbaden-based science writer Ernst Probst, among other things, the paperback "Ape-men. From Bigfoot to Yeti "written
* has Question: Mr. Probst, why you have a book on 'ape-man written?
Answer: I'm interested in non-extinct animals such as dinosaurs, flying dinosaurs, marine dinosaurs, prehistoric birds, mammoths, cave lions, saber-toothed cats, cave bears and apes and mythical creatures such as giants, dragons, unicorns and sea monsters and so-called cryptids such as Nessie, Bigfoot and Yeti. Cryptids are creatures whose existence is suspected of crypto zoologists, but not proved.
*
question: Do you believe in the existence of Ape-man?
Answer: I do not eke out that somewhere in a hidden corner of the world apes such as Bigfoot, Yeti or others their lives. But I can not exclude that is discovered at some point on our planet a previously unknown lemur, monkey or ape. A tabloid newspaper has asserted that I was of the opinion that this could be the monkey people of a prehistoric native species of ape, which is known is that they could reach a size of three meters. But I have really said something quite different. Namely, that lived in prehistoric times in Asia, a giant ape called Gigantopithecus, which reaches a height of two to three meters should have. Some crypto zoologists suggest that certain apes are descendants of Gigantopithecus. I personally think this is not.
*
question: Where has seen allegedly ape-man?
Answer: Alleged sightings of ape-men were known from all five continents, mainly from Asia (Alma, Chuchunaa, Yeren, Ngoui Rung, Orang Pendek, Yeren, Yeti) and America (Bigfoot, Stink Monkey, De-Loys-monkey ), but also from Australia ("Evil Spirit" Yeren), Africa and Europe.
*
question: Are the descriptions of ape-men the same?
Answer: The descriptions of the supposed ape-man watch are very different. Thus, the figures vary on the size or height of the ape-man, depending on the form between only 1.20 meters ("Short People" on Sumatra Orang Pendek) up to a whopping 4.80 meters (the largest form of the Yeti). In the relevant literature is also of smaller forms of the Yeti with only 1, 1.80 or 2.70 meters of the question. Bigfoot of North America will have shoe size reaches 61st The attitudes and skills are described very differently. For example, shy and peaceful as the small Orang Pendek and the "Snowman" Yeti in the Himalayas, aggressive as the "Bandit" Chuchunaa in Siberia, in China or Yeren De-Loys-monkey in South America, as the terrible stink Stink Monkey in Florida, wearing clothes like Chuchunaa making in Siberia or fire as the "Vietnamese Yeti" Ngoui Rung. As a giant ape ancestors are ("Snowman" Yeti), discusses early man (orang Pendek in Sumatra) and Neanderthals ("Wild Man" Alma in Mongolia). The Yeti used to be even more imaginative than cold-sensitive origin Germane interpreted.
*
question: is there something they amused the subject of ape-men?
Answer: I schmunzle repeatedly about the fact that photos or films that depict alleged ape-men, incredible are blurred. It's a real trick to do with today's modern cameras such bad shots. Sometimes it happens that readers complain bitterly about the poor print quality of photos in my ape man-ape man-paperback and I blame them. All I can say is: from organisms that do not exist, you can not make razor sharp images!
*
question: Can the Internet a look at the paperback "ape men" throw?
question: Where is your pocketbook on "ape men" available?
Answer: A Pocket Guide "ape man" is available at around 1,000 online bookstores. For example, at Amazon, Libri, buch.de and bol.de, also good in any bookstore, because this title is available at the book wholesaler Libri and KNO. It is available in several foreign book shops.

Question: Are there other books on similar subjects to you?
Answer: Yes, that "monsters on the track. As the stories emerged about dragons, giants and unicorns " and "sea monster. From Nessie to Zuiyo-maru Monster ". Both are in "GRIN" and appeared in roughly 1,000 online bookstores to have.

Wiesbaden (ape-man-blog) - The "ape-man-blog" informed - as its name suggests - about monkeys from around the world.
