The Yeti Researcher, a quarterly journal dedicated to the study of cryptic hominids such as Big Foot and Sasquatch, is a serio-comic riff on academic and amateur scientist journals, by the odd, literate and mostly unclassifiable magazine of the arts called McSweeney's. The journal, including several articles referring to paleoanthropologists such as Christopher Stringer, Peter Brown, and Russell Ciochon, is one of several pieces of ersatz mail that made up Issue 17 of McSweeney's, but one that is a tasty extended joke for academic and amateur researchers of hominids.
