Born in 1946, Lloyd Pye is a native of Amite, Louisiana. He attended Tulane University in New Orleans, graduating in 1968 with a B.S. in Psychology. After graduation, he joined the U.S. Army to become a Military Intelligence agent.
For 20 years Lloyd wrote fiction and scripts while studying aspects of alternative knowledge. Especially intrigued by Hominoids — bigfoot, sasquatch, abominable snowman, yeti — he felt they were the Earth’s only indigenous bipedal primates, leaving fossilized skeletons anthropologists labeled “pre” humans rather than “advanced” Miocene apes.
