John Russell Napier


Genre


British primatologist, paleoanthropologist & physician, who is notable for his work with Homo habilis.
Napier was one of the first notable scientists to give serious attention to the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. His investigations included interviewing amateur investigators and purported eyewitnesses, visiting alleged Bigfoot sighting areas, studying the scant physical evidence, and screening the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, which he concluded was a clever hoax.

“The banana skins of life are ready and waiting for the over confident, the elderly and the drunk.”
John Napier

“Visitors at the zoo indulge in transports of delight at the way an elephant reaches for an apple with it's trunk....but give not a moments thought to the ineffable capabilities of their own hands.”
John Napier

“Disaster is never very far away during human walking, and often enough it strikes without warning. The banana-skins of life are ready and waiting for the over-confident, the elderly and the drunk.”
John Russell Napier, Bigfoot: The Yeti and Sasquatch in Myth and Reality
