Michael Cremo claims to have unearthed archaeological evidence to prove that humans have existed on this planet for millions of years, Mr. Cremo has come up with an alternative theory of evolution that is being debated fiercely in scientific circles. The radical hypothesis ignited a discussion within the world of science about anomalous evidence for extreme human antiquity. Mr. Cremo's attempt to link his findings with the Vedic perspective on human origins is now at the centre of a furious row in the academic community.

Talking to The Hindu , Mr. Cremo, who is in the city as part of a lecture tour, said his evidence was based on fossils and artefacts unearthed by archaeologists in California, Mexico and several places in Asia and Africa during the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. "Modern dating techniques have proved that many of these discoveries are millions of years old. Though well documented, they have been confined to the inner recesses of museums, libraries and universities."
