Jeff Meldrum Extended Interview

Dr. Jeff Meldrum is a Full Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology at Idaho State University (since 1993). He teaches human anatomy in the graduate health professions programs.

His research encompasses questions of vertebrate evolutionary morphology generally, primate locomotor adaptations more particularly, and especially the emergence of modern human bipedalism. His co-edited volume, From Biped to Strider: the Emergence of Modern Human Walking, Running, and Resource Transport, proposes a more recent innovation of modern striding gait than previously assumed.

 

 

His interest in the footprints attributed to sasquatch, was piqued when he examined a set of 15-inch tracks in Washington, in 1996. Now his lab houses well over 300 footprint casts attributed to this mystery primate. He conducts collaborative laboratory and field research throughout North America, and the world (e.g. China, Russia), and has spoken about his findings in numerous popular and professional publications, interviews, television and radio appearances, public and professional presentations.

He is author of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science (Tom Doherty Publishers), which explores his and other scientists’ evaluations of the contemporary evidence, and also affords deference to tribal people’s traditional knowledge of this subject. He has also published two field guides, one focusing on sasquatch, the second casting the net more broadly to consider the potential of relict hominoids around the world (Paradise Cay Publishing). He is editor-in-chief of the scholarly refereed journal, The Relict Hominoid Inquiry.

    Perhaps Dr. Meldrum would be a good guest. I know your not a huge fan of his. I feel he is good for the subject. Well spoken and kind. Perhaps pick his brain on what he sees for the future of this. I feel a collective of the most sane people in the Sasquatch community could put together something special. Hopefully we can all pull through this epidemic before to long. Hope all of you and yours are healthy and safe.

      (Shore) John, WHO is not a big fan of the Doctor, and WHY? He’s a well educated and highly respected person in the Bigfoot community- which has its share of questionable characters.

      (New Jersey) Michael, What’s the difference if he wants a “fee” or not? He’s in demand as a speaker, and travels around the country and the world, as people want to hear him. Isn’t he entitled to cover his traveling expenses and receive compensation for his time?

    Dr. Meldrum is very knowledgeable and I enjoy listening to him. I just think he is wrong about Sasquatch being an undiscovered North American great ape. The DNA studies showed no great ape DNA and the many encounters on this channel and many others supports this finding.
