Who We Are
The Science Behind the Search
The Institute of Hominology & Scientific Expedition was founded on a singular premise: that anomalous biological phenomena deserve the same rigorous investigative standards applied to conventional wildlife research.
Our team employs forensic analysis, ecological modeling, ethological observation, and cutting-edge eDNA techniques to evaluate evidence that mainstream institutions routinely dismiss.
We are not believers. We are investigators.
—Dr. Joseph Bryan Thornburg, PhD (Cryptozoology)
Founder & Lead Investigator, IHSE
Scientific Methodology

PhD (Cryptozoology)
Graduate-level training in anomalous biological phenomena and field investigation.
Protocol 9 Compliant
All reports meet IHSE's strict evidence chain-of-custody and ethics standards.
