Forbidden Archeology: Data over Theory
It’s taken several million years [though forbidden archeology has evidence modern humans have had it for hundreds of millions of years through cycles of time and our history on this planet] to get to this moment where we can tell ourselves a fun story about how it only took several million years for some humans to get here by impersonal processes.
