The ‘If its not supposed to be there, why should we look for it’ mentality is so prevalent in anything that is supposedly outside the norm (melanistic pumas and in fact any puma that isn’t where it is supposed to be come instantly to mind) that there ought to be a scientifically named psychological state for it. This state seems to infest the so-called ‘authorities’ and wildlife experts and forestry workers who are forced by nature or possibly the fear of unemployment to parrot the state line.

I couldn’t agree with airforce47 more, and would like to follow that up by saying that hopefully future investigative efforts will more completely gather the total range of evidence that is found. As the book points out, too often, the very fact that people do not openmindedly consider the possibility of True Giants existing often causes items to be ignored, not safeguarded, and discarded.

“If it is not suppose to be there,” the comments go, “why should we look for it?” The same goes for extraordinary evidence that seems outside the realm of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Almas, and other hominoids, all of which have become mainstream in cryptozoology.

It should be noted by all readers that the evidence being presented in Loren’s new book should first stand by itself and be examined independent of other evidence. Only then can any the reader compare the evidence to other evidence that has been gathered for the existence of the proposed giants.

A good example of this would be other photos to accompany the footprint cast showing the impression, the stride and the amount of material thrown up by the footprint. This evidence along with the cast should then be compared to other evidence to determine its credibility.

The scientific method should be applied at all levels of cryptozoology to help keep out those people who hoax. If we had done this completely in the past some of the great hoaxes may have been rejected before they came to fruition. My best,

Interesting, and worth noting that among the factors that correlate with an organism’s size, one of the most significant is the size of the habitat for which they are adapted. It could be argued that the mountainous regions of central Eurasia, from Eastern Europe extending through the Pamirs and on past the Himalayan Plateau, together constitute the largest continuous terrestrial ecological region on earth currently. A little time spend with Google Earth might convince anyone that, even if it could not be said to be ‘unexplored’ in a technical sense, it is certain a vast and mostly empty realm where human habitation is the exception rather than the rule, and as such there surely should be some remarkable megafaunal discoveries yet to be made there.
