CHINESE CAVEMAN: DAVID MARSHALL WRITES..

Hey Jon

On Friday 3rd September the Sky Chinese televison station CCTV9 aired their long-running series Nature & Science. Sometimes they repeat this programme a couple of days later.

I try to catch this programme as sometimes it features fish-related topics.

The first part of the programme was all about the Chinese Caveman. Sorry I did not note the location but local people, who are very afraid of the yeti-like creature they frequently encounter, found strands of hair fastened around bushes.

The hair was passed on to the local science community. These folk became very excited as it matched no known animal. Sadly, after much research, they discovered that this hair was actually strands of a rare algae-like plant.

Only a small note but may be of use.

Regards, David
