The Hidden History of the Human Race
During the past few centuries, archaeologists and research scientists have discovered artifacts establishing the existence of human civilization on Earth dating back millions of years. This information has been suppressed and ignored because it contradicts prevailing world view regarding origins and antiquity of the human race.
The authors, Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson, describe these evolutionary prejudices as 'a knowledge filter' resulting in deficient delineation of facts. Their book, The Hidden History of the Human Race, is a challenge to modern science and its arbitrarily rigid mindset.
The book contains a great number of verified facts, leaving no stone unturned in their unveiling of scientific cover up and prejudice. A strength of the book is the companioning of literary excavation with archeological discovery.
The book has created a stir in research institutes and campuses worldwide as a challenge to scientific world view. The silence in scientific rebuttal is deafening.
Contrary critique of the book is easily found, but generally expressed through emotionally charged bias. For example, the famous anthropologist Richard Leakey states, "your book is pure humbug and does not deserve to be taken seriously by anyone but a fool." Unfortunately, Leakey's fervor is not accompanied by any fact supporting his 'straw man' tirade.
Positive response to the book is also found aplenty. Well known geologist, Dr. Virginia Steen states, "what an eye opener! I didn't realize how many sites and how much data there is that does not fit modern concepts of human evolution...I predict this book will become an underground classic."
The findings of the authors infer that pre-history is not a subject about which anyone should be dogmatic. It also exposes education systems trapped in a resistant paradigm. The information in the book is verifiable in accordance with accepted scientific methodology.
A strength is the re-discovery of evidence previoulsy dropped from scientific evaluation. The book is part detective novel, as we search for clues about conspiracy and cover up weighing in at mammoth proportions.
Cremo and Thompson uncover bias as a foundation of much anthropological research. This book is a thorough expose of over 300 pages, but is in fact the abridged version of a 952 page work, Forbidden Archeology," a veritable cornucopia of scientific discovery regarding human origins.
