Where did we come from? What is the true history of humankind? Michael A. Cremo and Richard L. Thompson challenge the prevailing theory of Darwinian evolution with their ground breaking work Forbidden Archeology: The Hidden History of the Human Race.

"Hidden Archeology" is a lovely and entertaining piece of fiction, nothing more.
A nice detailed review of the book can be found here:
http://www.ramtops.co.uk/tarzia.html (http://www.ramtops.co.uk/tarzia.html)
Despite all this hard work, I think the book falls short of a scientific work primarily (but not entirely) because (1) its arguments abandon the testing of simpler hypothesis before the more complex and sensationalistic ones, and (2) the use of so many outdated sources is inadequate for a book that seeks to overturn the well-established paradigm of human evolution -- scholars must not work in isolation, especially today, when multi-disciplinary approaches are needed to remain on the cutting edge of knowledge. However, for researchers studying the growth, folklore, and rhetoric of pseudo-science, the book is useful as ‘field’ data.
I hesitate in judging the book to be utterly worthless from a scientific standpoint -- various specialists need to compare notes on the book -- but if worthy ideas exist in Forbidden Archaeology , they are hidden under a mass of undisciplined details, lack of critical contextual information, leaps of logic, and special pleading.

Just a reminder, this sub-forum is not for dissecting the work of the various researchers who are included here. It is purely for highlighting the work these researchers present. If you wish to start a thread to discuss whether Cremo's work is fiction or not, you may do so in the conspiritainment sub-forum.
Besides, do you know what forum you are on? I'm afraid there are few here would take seriously a review from a mainstream Archaeology 'poo-pooer' who goes by the name of "Doug", whom has such sub-categories on his site as "Archaeological/Skeptical Resources, Critiques of cult archaeology, Roman Britain links". ;)

This guy surely has a lot of interesting information.
Recommended to anyone!
Still struggling whether I should buy his book...the reviews are not that convincing..
