But there are certain life forms like the crow, cockroaches, or zebra mussels which are more resilient than others and can deal with temperature and moisture changes due to climate change. The lesson of the Yeti is that we have to treasure and build up the resilience in biology if we are going to save life itself.
It changed my life because I understood life in a different way. There are Yeti legends all over the world. This leads us into the question, what is this human hunger for these humanoid apparitions?
The deep mystery at our core is that we want to be connected to the great beyond. And we need symbols to help us understand the connection. Throughout human history, and across human cultures, we have developed messengers from the great beyond. Simon Worrall curates Book Talk. Follow him on Twitter or at simonworrallauthor.

With up to two inches or more of insulation in the walls and lids of most sizes, combined with a freezer-quality sealing gasket and one-piece construction, YETI provides industry-leading ice retention.
The yeti, also known as the Abominable Snowman, is a legendary creature that is said to inhabit the upper reaches of the Himalayas.
Stories of people seeing the yeti or its footprints are common in parts of India, Nepal and Bhutan. The walls of a YETI cooler contain 2 inches of premium insulation; the Roadie lids have 2 inches of premium insulation; and the Tundra lids have 3 inches of premium insulation. Mount Everest is a peak in the Himalaya mountain range. It is located between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.
At 8, meters 29, feet , it is considered the tallest point on Earth. In the nineteenth century, the mountain was named after George Everest, a former Surveyor General of India.
Though this is the most common form, reported Yetis have come in a variety of shapes. The Yeti is a character in ancient legends and folklore of the Himalaya people. The moral of the stories is often a warning to avoid dangerous wild animals and to stay close and safe within the community.
But, according to National Geographic, local people told him they were unable to present one because the creatures could not survive at that low an altitude. In modern times, when Westerners started traveling to the Himalayas, the myth became more sensational, according to the BBC. In , a journalist named Henry Newman interviewed a group of British explorers who had just returned from a Mount Everest expedition. The explorers told the journalist they had discovered some very large footprints on the mountain to which their guides had attributed to "metoh-kangmi," essentially meaning "man-bear snow-man.
Thus a legend was born. In her book " Still Living? Yeti, Sasquatch, and the Neanderthal Enigma " , Thames and Hudson , researcher Myra Shackley offers the following description, reported by two hikers in who saw "two black specks moving across the snow about a quarter mile below them. The shoulders sloped sharply down to a powerful chest Reddish-brown in color and bipedal, it was busy grubbing up roots and occasionally emitted a loud high-pitched cry.
It's not clear if these sightings were real, hoaxes or misidentifications, though legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner, who spent months in Nepal and Tibet, concluded that large bears and their tracks had often been mistaken for Yeti.
He describes his own encounter with a large, unidentifiable creature in his book " My Quest for the Yeti: Confronting the Himalayas' Deepest Mystery " St. Martin's, In March , Anthony Wooldridge , a hiker in the Himalayas, saw what he thought was a Yeti standing in the snow near a ridge about feet meters away.
It didn't move or make noise, but Wooldridge saw odd tracks in the snow that seemed to lead toward the figure. He took two photographs of the creature, which were later analyzed and proven genuine. Many in the Bigfoot community seized upon the photos as clear evidence of a Yeti, including John Napier , an anatomist and anthropologist who had served as the Smithsonian Institution's director of primate biology.
Many considered it unlikely Wooldridge could have made a mistake because of his extensive hiking experience in the region. The following year, researchers returned to where Wooldridge had taken the photos and discovered that he had simply seen a dark rock outcropping that looked vertical from his position.
It was all a mistake — much to the embarrassment of some Yeti believers.
