The Hidden History of the Human Race is a 1994 book by Michael A Cremo and Richard L. Thompson. It is the condensed, popularized edition of their larger 1993 work Forbidden Archeology.
Overview
The book compiles reports of archaeological and paleoanthropological finds — anomalously old human artifacts and skeletal remains — which the authors argue indicate that anatomically modern humans have existed for many millions of years, contrary to the standard evolutionary timeline. They contend that mainstream science has systematically ignored or suppressed such "anomalous" evidence (a process they term a "knowledge filter"). The work is written from Cremo's "Vedic creationist" standpoint and is regarded by mainstream archaeologists and paleoanthropologists as pseudoarchaeology.
About the author
