From Himalayan snowprints to the forgotten names of the Inuit, the yeti has shifted through a century of human imagination: black ape, white monster, mascot, and symbol. Once a mountain spirit, it was gradually renamed, tamed, and dissolved within expedition tales, newspaper headlines, and popular culture.
