==Early life==
Feder was very interested in cryptozoology and ancient astronauts as a teenager, when a book called ''Morning of the Magicians'' about extraterrestrial aliens turned him on to what he describes as the nonsense in archaeology.〔 "Essentially it was Erich von Däniken before Erich von Däniken", referring to the popular author and popularizer of ancient astronaut theories. "I knew it was crap and it got me really pissed off," Feder has stated, adding that researching the claims that were made grew his interest.〔 According to Feder, after becoming a professor, he asked his students what they wanted to learn in the class. They expressed interest in the same things he was interested in as a teen, but he couldn't find a book that dealt with answers to these pseudoscience topics, which led to the writing of his first book, ''Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience in Archaeology''.〔
