	Grover Krantz at AllExperts
		Gordon S. Grover" Krantz (November 5, 1931 – February 14, 2002) was a professor of physical anthropology at Washington State University, and a renowned Bigfoot researcher.
		Krantz's specialty as a researcher and teacher included all aspects of human evolution, but he was best known outside of academia as the first serious academic to devote his professional energies to the scientific study of bigfoot.
		Krantz was also drawn into the Kennewick Man controversy, arguing both in academia and in court that direct lineage to extant human populations could not be demonstrated.

	Bigfoot evidence: are these tracks real? - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Washington State professor Grover Krantz is one of the foremost authorities in the existence of the Sasquatch.
		Grover Krantz, associate professor of anthropology at Washington State University, in Pullman, has often been at the center of the storm that is Sasquatch research.
		Krantz assures us the track "passed all my criteria" including the "two sasquatch traits that I have never revealed to anyone." Since we do not know what these "two traits" might be, it is difficult to imagine how one could evaluate the professor's assertion of authenticity.

	Remembering Dr. Grover Krantz
		That is how long ago that Grover Krantz, then an associate professor of anthropology at Washington State University, risked his career, and the PhD he did not yet have, by advocating that evidence for the existence of a huge bipedal primate in North America deserved scientific study.
		Grover was the first person to establish, from the study of casts and tracks, that the makers of the big footprints have a foot structure differing significantly from that of humans.
		Grover S. Krantz, an anthropologist who was never afraid to take the unpopular academic position that the primates called Sasquatch actually exist, died peacefully, on the morning of February 14, 2002, in his Port Angeles, Washington home.

	Grover Krantz dies
		Krantz, as an outspoken academic, was a focus of the 1999 documentary Sasquatch Odyssey (director Peter von Puttkamer), which also profiled the late Rene Dahinden, John Green, and Peter Byrne.
		Krantz was a physical anthropologist whose teaching and research had covered all aspects of human evolution, primarily of skeletal traits, but also the evolution of the human capacity for culture.
		Grover S. Krantz's candid assessments in hominology and towering vision in cryptozoology will be missed by the many people who have followed his work for decades, but his thoughts and concepts will remain to continue educating generations to come.

		Krantz was born in 1931 in Salt Lake City, and as a child became fascinated with the skeletal remains of animals he found.
		Krantz, not surprisingly, was eagerly sought by reporters because of his willingness to talk on the record about a creature more apt to be seen in the National Enquirer than National Geographic.

		Krantz writes, "The late Robert Olson was particularly impressed with this irregularity, as was Ed Palma of the San Diego Police Department" (ibid).
		Krantz and others have argued that a double standard is applied by many academics to Sasquatch studies: When a claim is made or evidence is presented alleging that Sasquatch is genuine, enormous scrutiny is applied to the claim or evidence, as well as it should be.

	Scientific Puzzlers go ape over Bigfoot Study: Grover Krantz
		Krantz, an anthropology professor at Washington State University, asks skeptics to suspend their disbelief and look at the evidence that a great ape lives mostly undetected in the forest of North America.
		Krantz estimates a couple of thousand of the shy creatures exist, feeding on carrion, roots, berries and even fir needles, dying in hiding places where their bones are never found.
		Krantz goes through the film frame by frame and uses it to judge the size and weight of the animal and make conclusions as to why the film could not have been faked.

	Cripplefoot hobbled - Bigfoot Skeptical Inquirer - Find Articles
		Krantz's opinion, consistent with Napier's and Meldrum's reasoning, is that the preserved imprint of the deformed foot is imbued with so much anatomical detail that the average person would not have the expertise required to fabricate the print.
		Critical to the argument is the suggestion that the proportions of the foot, in terms of the relative lengths of individual bones reconstructed from the deformed foot imprints, are decidedly nonhuman.
		First, the centerpiece of the reconstruction, in terms of establishing a foot that is functionally distinct from the human condition, depends on the correct placement of the tibiotalar joint of the ankle (Dennett 1994), an articulation that is well removed from the plantar surface (sole) of the foot (figure 2).

		Krantz's book Bigfoot Sasquatch Evidence (1992) is the most comprehensive account by a scientist of the beast, and the evidence presented in it is pretty thin.
		Krantz even speculated on the size of the male sasquatch's sexual equipment and concluded that it was nowhere near as big as that of humans.
		As a true member of the academe (and he published non-bigfoot books on human evolution and race), Krantz needed to place bigfoot somewhere on the phylogeny tree, and he speculated that it had some relationship to Gigantopithecus, the huge hominid known sketchily from a bunch of fossil jaws found in east Asia.

		Grover has never been known as a hardcore field researcher—like many in the scientific community who do their research from within safe and warm confines of a government learning institution Grover knows that bagging a Skookum is a task left to the rugged individual.
		Krantz's theory is that the Bossburg Giant's deformed foot is anatomically impossible to hoax.

	Sasquatch Handprint Evidence By Alton Higgins
		The best known of these were discussed by Grover Krantz in his 1992 book entitled “Big Footprints: A Scientific Inquiry Into the Reality of Sasquatch.” Two casts made by Ivan Marx, possibly in the northeastern part of Washington during the early 1970s, represent the first known examples of this form of evidence.
		In spite of these apparent cast/print anatomical similarities, however, a palmar orientation of the sasquatch thumb, as proposed by Krantz in partial support of his contention that the sasquatch thumb is non-opposable, does not appear to be strongly supported by the Oklahoma evidence.
		Krantz speculates that a combination of factors involving hand position and movement in the stratum could account for some of the apparent incongruity.

		And his tendency to see the worst in people led him to butt heads with John Green, Grover Krantz and Peter Byrne, the three other veteran Bigfoot researchers who, with Dahinden, were known as "The Four Horsemen of the Sasquatchery" and whose unifying characteristic was their inability to stomach each other.
		Krantz also suffered persistent heckling from Dahinden, who despised his view that a corpse of Sasquatch was needed to satisfy the scientific community.
		In one scene, Krantz is in an auditorium using a frame from the Patterson film to determine the creature’s height.

		Regarding Bigfoot's diet, anthropologist Grover Krantz writes, "[t]he kinds of food that are consumed by sasquatches are reported by many observers; how many of these reports are accurate is a matter of diverse opinion" (Krantz, 159).
		The late Grover Krantz suggested that most academics who contend that Bigfoot does not exist lack even a passing familiarity with the small body of serious scholarly work on the subject and have not examined available evidence, some of which Krantz contended was very persuasive.
		In more recent years, Grover Krantz achieved a degree of notoriety as probably the leading accredited expert to devote considerable effort to the subject, though a few professionals have followed in his footsteps.

		Grover Krantz, an associate professor of anthropology, also discounted prosecution testimony about a bootprint found in blood.
		Krantz testified Monday in Spokane County Suprior Court that his own comparisons of Waldren-Ramsey's bare footprint with the bloody print cut from a chunk of carpet at the Livers' home convinced him they couldn't have been made by the same person.
		Krantz said he has developed knowledge of footprints largely through his ongoing study of the so-called Sasquatch, supposedly a large, reclusive primate that some people believe roams the wilds of the Pacific Northwest.

		Krantz was a favorite with reporters whenever a comment was needed on a bigfoot sighting because of his credibility and respectability among scientists.
		As much as Krantz came to love the supposed animal, he eventually decided that the only way to prove that a bigfoot existed was to shoot one so that a body could be presented to science.

		Grover Krantz, for example, admits that the size of the creature in the film is well within human limits, but argues that the chest width is impossibly large to be human.
		In one case, Krantz claimed as one of the gold standards of Bigfoot tracks a print that "passed all my criteria, published and private, that distinguishes sasquatch tracks from human tracks and from fakes" (Krantz 1992).
