His interest in the footprints attributed to an unrecognized North American “relict hominoid,” commonly known as sasquatch, came into focus when he literally crossed paths with an enigmatic trackway of 15-inch footprints in southeastern Washington. He has erected the ichnotaxon naming and diagnosing the footprints attributed to sasquatch as Anthropoidipes ameriborealis MELDRUM 2007. He has conducted collaborative laboratory research and fieldwork throughout North America and Asia and has spoken about his findings in numerous interviews, television appearances, public and professional presentations, and publications. His book Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science bears the endorsement of Dr. Jane Goodall, who said “Dr. Meldrum’s book…brings a much-needed level of scientific analysis to the sasquatch – or Bigfoot – debate.” His Sasquatch Field Guide is a helpful how-to, for differentiating and documenting evidence by the citizen scientist.

Biographical Sketch


Dr. Jeff Meldrum is a Full Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology at Idaho State University (since 1993). He teaches human anatomy in the graduate health professions programs. His research encompasses questions of vertebrate evolutionary morphology generally, primate locomotor adaptations more particularly, and especially the emergence of modern human bipedalism. His co-edited volume, From Biped to Strider: the Emergence of Modern Human Walking, Running, and Resource Transport, proposes a more recent innovation of modern striding gait than previously assumed. His interest in the footprints attributed to sasquatch was piqued when he examined a set of 15-inch tracks in Washington, in 1996. Now his lab houses well over 300 footprint c

Jeffrey Meldrum

American anthropologist (born 1958)

Don Jeffrey "Jeff" Meldrum (born May 24, 1958) is a Full Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology in the Department of Biological Sciences at Idaho State University. Meldrum is also adjunct professor in the Department of Physical and Occupational Therapy and the Department of Anthropology. Meldrum is an expert on foot morphology and locomotion in primates.[1]

Biography

Meldrum received his B.S. in zoology specializing in vertebrate locomotion at Brigham Young University in 1982, and his M.S. at BYU in 1984. In 1989, he completed a Ph.D. at Stony Brook University in anatomical sciences, with an emphasis in biological anthropology, with John G. Fleagle as his doctoral advisor.[2] He held the position of postdoctoral visiting assistant professor at Duke University Medical Center from 1989 to 1991. Meldrum worked at Northwestern University's Department of Cell, Molecular and Structural Biology for a short while in 1993 before joining the faculty of Idaho State University where he currently teaches.
