    Fun fact: the guy who first proposed this “running man” hypothesis about persistence hunting in the late 1960s (Grover Krantz) was better known as a staunch advocate for the existence of Bigfoot. Personally, I can’t believe that anybody could still believe in Bigfoot - it’s so obviously just a Yeti in a gorilla suit.

    For some weird reason, Krantz’s skeleton and that of his favorite dog are on display at the Smithsonian.

      The father of modern day physics changed course and started studying alchemy, chronology, biblical interpretation, losing himself to mysticism. He’d probably research big foot if he was alive as well. That doesn’t mean I’m going to dismiss his real magnum opus
