1.5 Million-year-old Footprints Discovered in Kenya

Scientists have discovered ancient 1.5 million-year-old footprints in Kenya that resemble the structure and gait of modern humans. Full story at:

Prints Show a Modern Foot in Prehumans

Michael Cremo's Response
Scientists have recently announced the discovery in Kenya of some interesting footprints, found in layers of rock about 1.5 million years old. . Researchers describe them as anatomically modern. That is to say, the foot structure is the same as in human beings like us. But most scientists today would never even dream of suggesting that the footprints were made by humans like us. According to their understandings, humans like us did not exist 1.5 million years ago. We had not evolved yet. Most scientists now believe the first humans like us came into existence about 150,000 years ago. So the Kenya footprints are ten times too old for modern humans. So the scientists attributed the footprints to the apeman called Homo ergaster, which some scientists believe to be a kind of Homo erectus. The problem is that we do not know what the Homo erectus foot structure was really like. No one has ever found a foot skeleton of Homo erectus. So at the present moment, the only creature known to science that has a foot just like that of a modern human being is in fact a modern human being, like us. Maybe in the future someone will find a foot skeleton of Homo erectus (or Homo ergaster) that is fully modern in it’s anatomy. But that has not been done yet. So if we are going to stick to the facts, to the evidence that we really have, then the most reasonable thing we can say is that the scientists in Kenya have found evidence that humans like us existed 1.5 million yeas ago. And this contradicts the current evolutionary accounts of human origins.

Russia Lauds Author Michael Cremo

November 2008 - Michael Cremo completed a grand return speaking and media tour of Russia on Human Devolution during September – November 2008. He kicked off the tour in Rybinsk, lecturing at Houses of Culture, Universities, with media interviews and meetings with distinguished faculty. Moscow was very receptive, with an appearance on Mayak, one of Russia’s most popular radio shows (20 million listener audience), presentations at Universities and intellectual groups, filming for documentaries, and lectures for cultural institutions. At Vladiovstock he gave a lecture at a high school for gifted children, where he was made a honorary teacher; he also lectured at an engineering school, concluding with two nights of packed lectures at a public hall. Siberia was the next leg of the tour, with a packed lecture at the Russian Academy of Science (in Irkutsk), the Biology Dept. of Tyumen Government University (where he was banned from speaking last year), University lectures and a press conference in Almsk with over 30 reporters. The University of St. Petersburg was one of his last venues.

The passing of Richard L. Thompson

September 18, 2008 - Richard L. Thompson, co-author of Forbidden Archeology with Michael A. Cremo, passed from this world at the age of 61 after drowning during his daily swim in the pool at his home in Gainesville, Florida.
Richard Thompson presented a paper at the Bhaktivedanta Academy of Arts & Sciences Conference in Moundsville, West Virginia in Dec. 2007
Michael Cremo shares his reflections: On the day before I left on a lecture tour of Russia, I learned about the departure from this world of Richard L. Thompson at his home in Florida. Richard and I worked very closely together from 1984 to 1995. Like me, Richard Thompson was a disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and a member of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. He was also a founding member of the the Bhaktivedanta Institute, which Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada set up in 1974. The purpose of the institute was to expose the shortcomings of modern materialistic science and to introduce Vedic perspectives into the scientific world. As a mathematician with a Ph.D. from Cornell University, Richard was especially qualified to do this. Mathematics is the language of science, and this gave him access to many different fields of scientific investigation. Richard was a major inspiration and mentor for me in my own work. I last saw Richard earlier this year, when we both attended a meeting for planning Vedic cosmological and historical exhibits for the major planetarium project Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada envisioned at the sacred site of Mayapur, West Bengal, in India. Richard's deep knowledge of both the Vedic literature and modern science made him perhaps unique in the world in his ability to bring the insights of one to the other.

Michael Cremo makes worldwide headlines

Reactions to Forbidden Archeology
range from glowing praise...

"One of the landmark intellectual achievements of the late 20th century"
Graham Hancock, author of Fingerprints of the Gods

...to caustic ridicule

"Your book is pure humbug and does not deserve to be taken seriously
by anyone but a fool"
Richard Leakey, Anthropologist

Mr. Cremo's book has certainly turned the heads of the Scientific Establishment. After NBC?s Mysterious Origins of Man television special aired in 1995, Academia exploded in protest, lobbying the FCC to ban NBC and its sponsors from the airwaves. However, it is significant that censorship attempts failed to prevent the first program of its kind from broadcasting alternative views on human evolution via a major television network.
