Episode Summary:

In this fascinating two-part series, we enter the mysterious world of cryptozoology with one of its most respected voices—Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University. Known for his scientific approach to the elusive Bigfoot phenomenon, Dr. Meldrum has dedicated decades of academic research to the study of primate locomotion and unexplained footprints found throughout North America.

In Part 1, we explore:

•Dr. Meldrum’s background and how he became interested in the subject of Bigfoot

•The scientific case for Sasquatch, grounded in anatomy and primate evolution

•Key footprint discoveries, including the famous Bossburg Cripple Foot tracks

•How evidence is analyzed through a biological and biomechanical lens

•The tension between mainstream science and fringe research—and why Dr. Meldrum remains undeterred

Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this episode will challenge what you think you know about Bigfoot and what science can—and can’t—explain.
