Abstract
The Creation Science (CS) movement has attracted much attention in recent years, being sufficiently significant to warrant a massive historical study by Ronald Numbers.1 As is well known, Creationists try to show that humans are of recent origin, and that empirical investigations accord with human history as recorded in the Old Testament. Forbidden Archeology (FA) offers a brand of Creationism based on something quite different, namely ancient Vedic beliefs. From this starting point, instead of claiming a human history of mere millennia, FA argues for the existence of Homo sapiens way back into the Tertiary, perhaps even earlier. Yet the argument is similar to that of CS in that it purports to be based on the results of scientific enquiry. In particular, FA draws on palaeoanthropology, supporting its theses by close examination and reappraisal of the early literature of this science writings largely disregarded by current theorists in the field, but which Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson (C&T) invite the reader to reconsider.2
