Author Loren Coleman Comments on 'Yetis are "Just Bears"'

The crypto world was rocked last week when scientists announced that Yeti DNA very much resembled the DNA of polar bears. Cosimo Author Loren Coleman commented on the article on his blog saying:

"For decades, cryptozoologists have pointed to there being three kinds of Yetis – a small Yeti, a human-sized Yeti, and a quite large bear-like Yeti. Explorer Tom Slick investigated these three types in the Himalayas in the 1950s. Bernard Heuvelmans and Ivan T. Sanderson in the late 1950s and 1960s, as well as modern researchers this century, including myself, Mark A. Hall, and Patrick Huyghe, called this variety the Dzu-Teh. The recent Bryan Sykes’ study confirmed there were bear artifacts behind some of the so-called Yeti samples he studied and which were highlighted by Icon Films."

Coleman was also interviewed by The Huffington Post to get his take on the matter, saying: “Until we discover a yeti, we’ll never have a sample of yeti DNA, so the only matches that come up will be from samples of bear."

Mark A. Hall, Cryptozoologist and Cosimo Author 1946 - 2016

We at Cosimo are deeply saddened to hear the news that our author, Mark A. Hall passed away last week on Wednesday, September 28, 2016.

Hall, a cryptozoologist and author, researched and investigated unexplained natural phenomena and mysteries for over half a century. He shared the results of his efforts in books and the periodical WONDERS, published from 1992 to 2006. His many books include Thunderbirds: America's Living Legends of Giant Birds (2004) and True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive? (2010), which were released by Cosimo and are part of Loren Coleman's Presents series.

Mark Hall's research papers and documents have been donated to the International Cryptozoology Museum, founded by his close friend and colleague, Loren Coleman. Please read Coleman's personal thoughts in his obituary of Mark Hall.

The world of cryptozoology has lost a great researcher, and we will miss our author dearly.
