John R. Napier
John Russell Napier, MRCS, LRCP, D.Sc. (1917 – 29 August 1987) was a British primatologist, paleoanthropologist, and physician, who is notable for his work with ''Homo habilis'' and OH 7, as well as on human and primate hands/feet. During his life he was widely considered a leading authority on primate taxonomy,〔 but is perhaps most famous to the general public for his research on Bigfoot.
==Biography==
Napier was an orthopedic surgeon at the University of London before being invited by Sir Wilfrid Le Gros Clark to join him in his paleoanthropology research. Napier then dedicated his life afterward to primatology, becoming the founder of the Primate Society of Great Britain, and was among the group, with Louis Leakey and Philip Tobias, that named ''Homo habilis'' in the 1960s.〔(Human evolution: Homo ), Smithsonian Institution〕
Napier later became Director of the Primate Biology Program at the Smithsonian Institution, where he examined the famous purported footage of Bigfoot, the Patterson–Gimlin film. After leaving the Smithsonian, Napier became a Visiting Professor of Primate Biology at Birkbeck College in London. He also served as President of Twycross Zoo in Leicestershire, England.〔Napier J.
