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."

Abominable Snowman in the Media

The BBC recently published an article titled "Is the Himalayan Yeti a Real Animal?" asking if there is any truth behind the reports of a Yeti,  also known as the Abominable Snowman.

The article discusses the mythical descriptions and morals behind the folklore, as well as accounts of those who have seen the Yeti. There are also several scientific studies identified and researchers named, but true evidence is still hard to come by.

Cosimo is proud to offer "Abominable Snowmen - Legend Come to Life" by Loren Coleman in both hardcover and paperback for those interested in learning more about this elusive creature. Check out all of our Cosimo titles for even more information on the fascinating topic of cryptozoology.
