This "yeti scalp" has been on TV in the show "Corwin's Quest" and it has a picture on a 1950's book about the Himalayas.

No; Sir Edmund Hillary had a close look at it, and declared it not only not a yeti scalp, but not a scalp at all; it was separate pieces sewn into a hat. He was even photographed wearing it.

Maybe. I know that there used to be a 'yeti hand'. A Western 'explorer' was able to borrow it and ended up stealing it and leaving a fake in it's place. The analysis of the hand showed that it was from a human. Since that event, which took place in the 50s, 60s, or 70s, the Himalayans have been real protective of their artefacts. This is why all the photos of the scalp are old ones.

I'm a casual fan of the ongoing Bigfoot debate, and I believe that has been debunked.
Here's the best site for Bigfoot stuff:

I have read that it is, in fact, not real. Bits and pieces sew together, and though the native people consider it something of a relic, they too, have their doubts.
