But is there any credible scientific evidence for the existence of an undiscovered primate species? And could such creatures have eluded discovery for so long without having supernatural abilities? This book examines the evidence arguing for and against the existence of ape-men from the perspectives of investigators, witnesses, scientists, skeptics, and true believers, leaving you to decide whether we share the planet with mysterious simians or simply wish we did. |
