Topic: Knowledge Filtration

Michael Cremo returns to the program after a twelve-year gap to discuss his new book, Extreme Human Antiquity. During a lecture at a university in Pretoria, South Africa, Cremo observed that professors from various fields, including physics and biochemistry, privately admitted that knowledge filtration occurs within their own disciplines. This suggests that the suppression of anomalous data is a systemic issue across all of science.

Michael Cremo details the 19th-century discovery of human skeletons and stone tools in 50-million-year-old rock layers in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Sonora, California. Despite being reported by state geologist Dr. J.D. Whitney and published by Harvard University, these finds were dismissed by contemporaries like William Holmes of the Smithsonian. Cremo uses this as a primary example of "knowledge filtration," where evidence contradicting the theory of evolution is systematically ignored.
