Over the past two centuries, archaeologists have discovered bones, footprints, and ancient artifacts showing that humans like us have existed on earth for vast periods of time. Human skeletal remains have been found going back as much as 300 million years. Human tracks have been found in layers of rock over 500 million years old. And human artifacts have been found in formations as much as 600 million years old. But many scientists have forgotten or ignored these remarkable facts. Why? Primarily because they contradict the now dominant views about human origins and antiquity. According to these views, humans like ourselves have existed for only about 100,000 years, and before that there were only more primitive human ancestors. This evolutionary paradigm, to which influential groups of scientists are deeply committed, has acted as a "knowledge filter." And the filtering, intentional or not, has left us with a radically incomplete set of facts for building our ideas about human origins.
