Hi

I need to do some research about he yeti
but does somebody knows where he name "yeti" came from and
(if there is) what does yeti stand for?

tnx
Mad Manfred
Yeti, after some heavy translation, basically means "hairy man".

It comes from the Tibetans.

yeah, maybe it is just a hairy man?
Mad Manfred
I actually think its tied to the other "hairy men" that have been frequently spotted in Siberia. But because of the harshness of the region its impossible to track or find them.

I'm thinking an undiscovered type of primate that walks upright...perhaps decendants of the neanderthals or even some surviving neanderthals.

i think yeti is the same as bigfoot and is a surviving giant ape from the ice age

Here's some info...

In the forests and plains of Siberia and China and in the mountains of the Himalayas, live two races of mysterious hairy wild people.
Called "Alma" by the Chinese and Soviets and "Yeti" by the Nepalese and Tibetans, these creatures average five feet in height and are covered from head to toe by a coarse hair -- silver and white in the mountainous regions, and orange and brown in the forests.
These creatures are seen only at random, and the evidence for their existence is mostly hair samples, footprints, and vague sightings. Scientists believe the Alma and Yeti are surviving ancestors of our own species; but until specimens are caught, living or dead, final proof is missing.
