The Making of Hominology is a detailed work aimed at moving the study of relict hominoids from the fringes of science to a fully recognized scientific discipline—The Science of Hominology. The main author, Dmitri Bayanov (born 1932), worked directly with Professor Boris Porshnev and other early Russian scientists investigating the possible existence of Relict Hominoids. Bayanov’s long journey began in the early 1960s and has continued until this day. This book, covers the subject from the dawn of written communications in Europe and Asia, and then in North America. Dmitri Bayanov coined the term "Hominology" and from the outset has sought to convince the general scientific community that there is enough evidence to support his recommendation. His "arguments" reflect his significant understanding of the subject and depth of his studies. What he presents is truly convincing.
From a scientific standpoint, this book is the most important work on Hominology ever written. It is both fascinating and highly educational with a special illustrated section on what we know about North America’s hominoid—the sasquatch or bigfoot.

Über den Autor
Dmitri Bayanov, 84, is Science Director of the International Center of Hominology (ICH), based in Moscow, Russia. In 1964 he joined research into the problem of existence and nature of so called "hairy bipeds" (almasty, bigfoot-sasquatch, etc.) and coined the term hominology for the study of these enigmatic higher bipedal primates. He took part in expeditions in search of these primates (supposed to be relict hominids) in the Caucasus and Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Tajikistan). In 1971-72, together with Igor Burtsev, now ICH General Director, he studied in depth the Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film and declared it authentic. Several years later this verdict was confirmed by professional analysts in North America. The story of this most important achievement in hominology is described by Bayanov in his book America's Bigfoot: Fact, Not Fiction. U.S. Evidence Verified in Russia. He is also author of several other books on the subject in Russian and English, with translations into French and German, and published in Russia, France, Germany, England, USA, and Canada. For 30 years Bayanov headed the Smolin seminar on the questions of hominology at the Darwin Museum in Moscow. As hominology is still taboo for mainstream anthropology, Bayanov is denied the possibility of defending a dissertation and winning academic degrees. He lives in Moscow with his wife. He has a son, two grand-daughers and a great-grandson.
