Information sought. Myra Shackley, long-time researcher into “mysterious hairy bipeds” chiefly in the “Old World”. Book of hers, “Wildmen: Yeti, Sasquatch, and the Neanderthal Enigma” (publ. 1983), which I have at present on order from Amazon.
Ms. Shackley seems to be “a lady of parts”. I learn from Wikipedia, that her basic profession, archaeologist; but that she is also a priest of the Anglican church; and that in the late 1980s, she abandoned her research into “unknown possible hominids”.
Does anyone know, or have possible indications – was her abandoning above research, result of concluding that the whole thing was “imagination / wishful thinking”; or did her getting into Christianity, cause her to see “mysterious hairies” as being demonic; or is it otherwise/ more complicated, than “either of the above” ?
