Dear Sir, thank you for your article "Snow Beasts and Beast Men" which I found thanks to Wiki. If I may, I´d like to ask a couple of questions. 1. I noticed the term "abominable snow man" is written in quotation marks. Is it by now a generally known fact that the word "abominable" is a mistranslation? 2. As for yowie - I come from Czech republic where this creature is probably the least known hominoid, speaking of references in literature, but the only book which features a detailed report on this phenomenon (by Ivan Mackerle, my great compatriot who organised the first expeditions ever which searched for the Mongolian Deathworm and the Tatzelwurm, among other explorations) mentions a strange yowie´s feature: that the footprints are extremely bizarre and nowhere near showing any similarity to each other; plus that no-one has ever actually seen y´s feet. This would suggest a paranormal phenomenon rather that a yetti-like "animal". Perhaps the only thing I missed in your great article was a paragraph about Neanderthals´ survival in Europe (e. g. Ibn Fadlan´s incredible report). Thank you and I hope you don´t mind my comment. With best wishes, M. Fišmeister
