Fascinating!
Our pal and yours, Nick Redfern, has posted a link on his There's Something in the Woods blog to a brief ScienceDaily.com article that focuses on the topic of Darwin and Werewolves.
How are they linked, you ask?
This piece focuses on an upcoming thesis to be delivered by Brian Regal, who is the assistant professor of the history of science at Kean University in Union, New Jersey. The article reads, in part:
From the late 19th century onwards, stories of werewolf encounters tailed away significantly, says Regal. “The spread of the idea of evolution helped kill off the werewolf because a canid-human hybrid makes no sense from an evolutionary point of view,” he says. “The ape-human hybrid, however, is not only evolutionarily acceptable, it is the basis of human evolution.”
Do yourself a favor and check it out. I think he is onto something. Share your opinions below!

The Cryptid Chronicles - Wow!!
Nick Redfern just posted some outstanding news over on his blog, "There's Something in the Woods."
First of all, a veteran Washington DC reporter named David Acord has recently begun publishing a newsletter entitled "The Cryptid Chronicles," about the cryptozoological subject that he is so passionate about. Here is what David has to say about his new venture:
"Bigfoot. Sea serpents. Lake monsters. Black panthers and mysterious big cats. Chupacabra. Strange reptiles. Living dinosaurs. Hairy bipeds.
Chances are you won't find in-depth articles on these and other crypto-creatures in your local newspaper or in academic journals. And while there are plenty of blogs out there that keep you up-to-date on the latest sightings and controversies, what's been missing from the crypto field is a regular weekly publication that brings readers thoroughly researched, thoughtful, long-form articles on cryptid-related phenomena -- a newsletter that goes beyond hyperlinks and daily headlines to bring readers information they simply can't find anywhere else.
Enter The Cryptid Chronicles, the new weekly newsletter written by David Acord, a veteran Washington D.C. reporter and editor who brings more than a dozen years of experience to his true passion -- cryptozoology. Each week you'll receive 12 pages' worth of investigative reporting and analysis on the hottest crypto topics of the day."
