In a follow-up to a previous blog posting…
James Churchward’s theories about the discovery of Neaderthals and other hominids was:
In their excitement over the discovery of a few old human bones, such as the Neanderthal, Piltdown, and Heidelberg man, scientists, in both Europe and America, have completely ignored and cast aside the remains of ancient man in North America. That the European remains were those of idiots and degenerates is obvious from the abnormal shapes of their skulls. Doubtless they were outcasts from civilized communities…
Lost Continent of Mu Motherland of Men, page 171.
However, news indicates that perhaps the Neanderthals were not such brutes after all and there is even a possibility (however slim,) that the technology for lissoirs or smoothers, was passed from the Neanderthals to humans. The tool made animal hides tougher and more water resistant.
Some of James’ writings were colored by his rejection of information he deemed to be ‘poppycock’ or just plain stupid.
In this category, lies “the sun is a hot body” and evolution theories. As our information grows and changes the paradigm, we will hopefully develop enough wisdom to recognize that we will never have the full story. We can get closer to the truth or farther away, depending on where we allow our preconceived notions to take us.
Have a great day.
