True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive?
Breaking A Cryptozoological Taboo!
Do giant primates larger than gorillas, taller than Sasquatch and Yetis, still exist in the remotest corners of the globe? Famed cryptozoologists Mark A. Hall and Loren Coleman join forces to share their knowledge of this unexplored and neglected topic in cryptozoology. Bigfoot researchers have long been mystified, even embarrassed, by reports of giant hairy apes larger than Bigfoot, and as a result eyewitness reports of what Hall and Coleman call True Giants have never been fully considered in the broader zoological context. Reviewing the evidence found in traditions and footprints, folklore and sightings, the authors of this groundbreaking volume present for the first time in one place the wide-ranging argument for the possible survival of a giant species of primate that we know lived on Earth for millions of years.
This new 188-page book contains 25 illustrations, scientific appendices, and an extensive bibliography.

About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Aw, come on Loren. Tell us more…….. a quick synopsis maybe ?
Okay, here is an update, with an overview blurb from the back cover, a quick synopsis of sorts. Mainly, I just thought folks would like to see the cover, hot off the electronic mail wires on November 3rd!
Can’t wait, Loren! The “True Giants” as per your Field Guide to Bigfoot and Other Mystery Primates have always fascinated me.
Cool and creepy cover! Looking forward to it!
Not wanting to start a debate or anything but do we really “Know” that they were on the earth for millions of years
“a giant species of primate that we know lived on Earth for millions of years.”
Well, Mr. Elekom, you are allowed to dispute the fossil record, I guess. The fossil finds of Gigantopithecus, dated across millions of years, are the source of the considered opinion, therefore, that they have lived here for “millions of years.”
Any idea on when an EPUB version will be available?
I forgot to check the box.
