Cryptozoology Season at the Grant Museum:
The Cryptozoology Season explores the world of hidden animals and the people who work with them. From the lives of those who study species unknown to science, like Nessie and Bigfoot, to expeditions in search of animals presumed extinct, our talks, events and film-night will investigate this marginalised subject in exciting ways. Is it mainstream science or paranormal research? Come and make up your own mind.

What drives the hunt for anomalous primate monsters like Bigfoot? Is it the need to discover the undiscovered…a thirst for knowledge…or a desire for excitement? It’s not so simple. Dr Brian Regal will argue that it’s all about the battle between amateur naturalists and professional scientists – the Crackpots versus the Eggheads. Come to the Grant Museum and hear the hairy reality. Join us for a free glass of wine in a private view of the Museum after the talk.

Brian Regal is Assistant Professor for the History of Science at Kean University, New Jersey, USA. His latest book is the two volume, Icons of Evolution. He is currently working on a history of the search for anomalous primates.
