"thing is the huge body of scienifically reported evidence for extreme human antiquity not mentioned (even negatively) in current textbooks. It amounts to a pattern of systematic filtering of evidence that contradicts evolutionary theories. "

ThiChi,

Then focus on those modern digs. Not the old ones. Why should we focus on 100 year old data? Because he says so? Because it makes his case look stronger? Maybe to a neophyte, but not to someone who understands how science works. You realize that reputable science magazines used to have articles about mermaids over 100 years ago. Does that mean there is a massive conspiracy in the scientific community to purge modern data regarding mermaid research?

You also realize that Cremo believes that Bigfoot is real and is just another ape-man living alongside humans. Nah, he's not filtering data to fit his preconcieved notions.

""Not all of the evidence for Tertiary Homo comes from the nineteenth century. K. N. Prasad (1982:101) of the Geological Survey of India described a crude unifacial hand:axe pebble tool recovered from the late MiocenePliocene (910 m.y. bp) at Haritalyangar, Himachal Pradesh, India. He added (1982:102), The implement was recovered in situ, during remeasuring of the geological succession to assess the thickness of the beds. Care was taken to confirm the exact provenance of the material, in order to rule out the possibility of its derivation from younger horizons. Describing the tool it self, he said (1982:102): The quartz artefact, heart-shaped (90mm x 70mm) was obviously fabricated from a rolled pebble, the dorsal side of which shows rough flaking. . . . On the ventral side much of the marginal cortex is present at the distal end. Crude flaking has been attempted for fashioning a cutting edge. Marginal flaking at the lateral edge on the ventral side is visible. Prasad concluded (1982:103): It is not impossible that fashioning tools commenced even as early as the later Miocene and evolved in a time-stratigraphic period embracing the AstianVillafranchian""

ThiChi,

I saw that. Why is he not expanding on that? That would seem to be good evidence right there. I think he's focusing on the old material because he knows there are problems with the new material that does not fully support his views. I am interested in seeing more data on finds such as these.

I did notice with some of my own research on this particular claim that K. N. Prasad seems to be another Fundy Hindu, but I'd be interested in seeing more on this find.

Good Question: Get the book.........

Another interpretation can imply a pattern of evidence that has been ignored over many years.

No, I'm not going to waste my money. I don't purchase books that use the Weekly World News as a source. If you have the book, then present the material, or email him and ask him to expand on this example. I'm only interested in modern examples.
