Michael Cremo on humans before the textbooks

Michael Cremo tells Portal to Ascension that reports of people like us, millions of years old, pulled him off the standard story. Textbooks, he says, keep only the finds that put humans like us in the last few hundred thousand years, and drop older reports even when the original papers printed them. He points to footprints a magazine described as matching modern feet, preserved in ash about 3.7 million years old, and argues that no known nonhuman foot has that shape. Supposed transitions fail, in his view, because the later form was already living beside the ancestor it is said to have left. He thinks the fossil list was trimmed to fit a slow straight line. A conscious self goes on and takes another body, so the soul moves through forms while bodies do not evolve into each other. The cosmic clock he takes from India runs in vast cycles, the latest having begun a couple of billion years ago. Stone tools from California gold mines were refused, he says, because they did not fit the theory.

Key points

  • Cremo says textbooks keep the late appearance of humans and drop older reports that were already in print.
  • Footprints described as modern, in ash about 3.7 million years old, are his main African example.
  • He denies transitional fossils where the supposed end product already lived beside its ancestor.
  • A conscious self, in his account, takes new bodies, so the soul changes form and the body line does not.
  • Vedic time, as he tells it, moves in immense cycles, the latest beginning a couple of billion years ago.
  • California mine tools and mortars are offered as finds that were rejected for breaking the expected timeline.

In other words, if the evidence didn't fit the theory, it it couldn't be taken as true.
