The Mind of Sasquatch II: Expanding the Savant Theory

by Christopher Noël

Although we cannot yet study the psychology of Sasquatch directly, we are in good position already to make educated guesses about their mentality based on behavioral analysis. Skeptics are fond of asking, as though no answer were remotely possible, "HOW could an eight-foot-tall primate exist undiscovered in our back yard?" Meeting the issue head-on, THE MIND OF SASQUATCH presented the outlines of the Sasquatch Savant Theory, revealing a personality profile of the species that differs substantially from any offered before. Sasquatch are hardwired by evolution to conceal themselves, interacting with us only in a mediated, indirect fashion. Their tactical genius and other striking abilities mirror gifts seen in people known as autistic savants. * * * Now, THE MIND OF SASQUATCH II deepens the exploration of this parallel while continuing the earlier survey across the scientific cutting-edge analysis of ancient DNA, fresh insights into Sasquatch origins, and the likely role of autistic traits within human evolution. The book opens, however, with the story of Noël's 2015 field research in the ravine, which yielded Sasquatch video footage and, more importantly, an unforgettable lesson. * * * TABLE OF CONTENTS 33.

Book two

This second book is not nearly as articulate as book one, and seems to be something of an afterthought, just a place to put the things that didn't quite fit in book one. I still find the theory at least partially valid, possibly true or partly true. What is absolutely true is that should we all wake up one day and find that science has acknowledged the existence of Sasquatch that we will be looking at a different kind of mind. We will not be looking at an animal mind but the mind of the only other living hominin, but by definition not really like us. The conclusions he draws are as good as any I have seen about what kind of mind that will be and is based on the evidence that we have now. I applaud once again the ability to formulate a theory to fit the rather odd facts and behaviors that surround Sasquatch. However, do not read this book without reading book one or you will be sadly lost. It begins with chapter 33.
