Neanderthal

NOW IN ENGLISH FOR THE FIRST TIME...THE TRUE STORY OF THE MINNESOTA ICEMAN!<br>The story begins at the end of 1968 in New Jersey when zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans and biologist Ivan Sanderson first hear from a correspondent about the frozen corpse of an extremely hairy man-like creature being exhibited in the Midwest. Upon arrival in Minnesota the two scientists come face to face with a hominid not of our species embedded in a block of ice. An inquiry into the origin of the specimen triggers a bizarre adventure involving the FBI the Smithsonian the Mafia the Vietnam War drug smuggling Hollywood and a secretive millionaire giving much of the account the flavor of a riveting detective story. What happened is told in meticulous detail by Heuvelmans who draws a startling conclusion as to the Iceman's nature based on a comparison of its anatomy with that of modern humans and fossil ancestors. But where Heuvelman's scientific tale ends cryptozoologist Loren Coleman's begins in a lengthy fact-filled afterword that brings this remarkable saga up-to-date.
