Over the past two centuries, researchers have found bones and
artifacts
showing humans like us existed millions of years ago. But scientists
have
suppressed, ignored, or forgotten these pieces of evidence. Prejudices
based on current scientific theory have acted as what Michael A. Cremo
and Richard L. Thompson call a knowledge filter. According to Cremo and
Thompson,we have thus come to accept a picture of prehistory that is
largely
incorrect. Forbidden Archeology is a call for a change in today's rigid
scientific mindset. Bringing to light a great number of long hidden
artifacts
and skeletal remains, Cremo and Thompson challenge us to rethink our
understanding
of human origins and the accepted methods of science itself. An
abridged
version of the book is available named The Hidden History of the Human
Race.
