But the idea of Precambrian humans (poor devils, algae and jellyfish for lunch every day) is not something that you can just skip and pass on to Cremo's otherwise "spot-on" scholarship. It's a crucial part of his fundamentalist world outlook, and believe me, fundamentalist science is a contradiction in terms.
 
Forbidden? As far as I know, Cremo is anything but a martyr (if I say his theories are utter nonsense, it is _not_ a form of persecution but my well-considered opinion). He is the darling of creationists worldwide, he goes to conferences, reads his papers in public, meets important people and talks in TV documentaries; his and Thompson's book is a bestseller... What the hell is "forbidden" about that stuff?

I don't quite understand your surprise about a "foreign" group wishing to discuss archaeology with Michael Cremo.  I'm familiar with "Forbidden Archaeology" and other than some VERY early claims that humans existed in the Precambrian, I've found his reasoning
sound and his scholarship (although removed from the mainstream) "spot on".  But I do agree with you that the title says it all:  this is forbidden archaeology.
