Just sent John a email with the comments above, hope you don't mind, thought he might appreciate the kind words an thoughts. Pat...

Received a email from John this mornin', his chemo an radiation treatments are no longer effective, it's a pain management thing now. If you know him or correspond with him, he has a laptop, if you'd like to say your piece...just lettin' yas know. He's done some great work over the years, two fascinatin' books, an has always been kind enough with his time. We don't always get our chances to say goodbye... Pat...

Sorry to hear about Dr Bindernagle. He was gonna help us with the blog periodically, but it never happened due to his condition.

We haven't found certain / sure bigfoot fossils anywhere we've looked so we should not be dogmatic about where we choose to look yet. There are exactly the same number of recognized fossils from North America as there are from Africa or Asia. Zero. That might suggest they are a very very recent development, coming from forested areas with acidic soils that don't preserve fossils, or until geologically recently lived on coastal margins that are now underwater, or something of that nature. The lack of fossils IS an issue. It's not a show-stopper but it requires consideration for anyone conducting serious research. Regarding N/S America, it seems that the sites being touted as proof of long human history in S. America were contamination. They were not pristine locations archeologically, local geological events seem to have stirred the layers causing recent human artifacts to mix with very old carbon deposits. We counted too heavily, too optimistically, on evidence that wasn't as strong as we thought. By the same understanding, we need to be very careful about jumping on the bandwagon with the purported 130,000 year old "evidence" of human habitation in N.A. By this I do not mean scoff or dismiss, I mean really REALLY study it carefully before pronouncing any judgement about age or legitimacy. If we build our understanding on false foundations, it's only a matter of time before that understanding crumbles. MIB

Saddened to hear this. When I was younger I saw him on Creepy Canada and he was awesome. Truly one of the greats in the field.

I always love it when he is the guest on podcasts, so much energy and enthusiasm!

I’m very sorry to hear this.

Sending Dr. Bindernagel prayers, strength & positive vibes to combat this horrible disease along with my utmost gratitude for his considerable contributions to the field of crytpo-hominology.

Dr B has always been a class act. He was very interested in a couple of my encounters where chest slapping was done. Always interested, made notes as I talked, and I felt like he was genuinely interested in what I had to say. If we had another half dozen like him, BF research would surge forward. I pray for him and his family.
