Dr. Krantz was a physical anthropologist whose teaching and research had covered all aspects of human evolution, primarily of skeletal traits, but also the evolution of the human capacity for culture. He had visited many museums in Europe, China and Java to study original fossils and to make casts of some (Java) for distribution to other scientists. He had accumulated a major collection of such casts, including his own reconstructions of many of them. Dr. Krantz's major non-Sasquatch anthropological works were Climatic Races and Descent Groups (1980), The Antiquity of Race (1981, 1994, 1998), The Process of Human Evolution (1982, 1995), and Geographical Development of European Languages (1988). Other publications included original work on such topics as Neanderthal winter survival, precision gripping of stone tools, language origins, mastoid function, tooth wear, mammal extinctions, sea-level changes, nonmigrations of hunting peoples, Neanderthal taxonomy, Ramapithecus as a female form, and pelvic evolution - all illustrated by the author.

Grover S. Krantz, born in 1931, in Salt Lake City, grew up in Rockford, Illinois, then moved with his family to Utah when he was ten.  Krantz went on to study at the Universities of Utah, California (B.A. 1955, M. A. 1958) and Minnesota (Ph. D. 1971), with a concentration in human evolution.  He was a professor at Washington State University since 1968, until his retirement in the 1990s. During his retirement, he still taught one anthropology course per year, beamed via television back to Pullman, from his home in the Olympic Peninsula.  He continued his research until his illness allowed him to do no more work.
