Forbidden Archeology challenges one of the most fundamental components of the modern scientific worldview by discussing the work of researchers over the past two centuries who have found bones and artifacts indicating that people like ourselves existed on Earth millions of years ago.

The book is a detailed compilation of case studies in the history and sociology of scientific knowledge, highlighting a potential 'knowledge filter' that has led to a radically incomplete set of facts about human origins[1][2][4].
