Page "Minnesota Iceman" Paragraph 5

Sanderson, then science editor for Argosy magazine, authored an article about the Iceman in the April 1969 issue that featured the headline, " Is this the missing link between man and the apes?

" Sanderson also spoke about the Iceman in television appearances, and contacted primatologist John Napier, asking him to investigate it under the official auspices of Smithsonian Institution.

Hansen subsequently withdrew the Minnesota Iceman from public inspection, saying the withdrawal was on orders from its California-based owner.

Hansen later provided a new " Iceman " for exhibit, described by observers as a latex model that was clearly different from the original.
