The PSA also shares an online membership directory with the HSS, but as of November 2010, Cremo is not listed in it as a member of any of the two organizations. Only full membership requires any professional credentials. the Philosophy of Science Association has three types of members - 'full', 'associate' and 'student'.the History of Science Society admits everyone willing to pay the annual fees they have also produced a statement on evolution that contradicts Cremo's ideas.Looking into the admission criteria of these organizations, it is clear that membership is not tied to expertise: His website though proudly lists his membership in several professional associations. See the main article on this topic: CredentialismĪccording to his own autobiography, Cremo has no scientific education. Unlike Cremo's knowledge filtration, however, conceptual continuity is not conspiratorial but is conducted in the open using the scientific method. These periods are only interrupted with the rise of a new paradigm where scientists warm to new questions of old data and map new lines of research. However, this system of 'knowledge filtration' does echo the dynamics behind the 'conceptual continuity' that define vast periods of science and are described in Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. This 'explanation' conveniently makes it possible for Cremo to reject the (literal and literally) mountains of evidence contradicting his pseudohistorical and pseudoscientific claptrap. One of the core notions in Cremo's Forbidden Archaeology is the assertion that a system of knowledge filtration exists within archaeology (and by inference, the greater scientific community). He sometimes writes books on Hindu spirituality under the pseudonym of Drutakarma Dāsa. Homo sapiens, have lived on the earth for billions of years with little or no alteration to their biological characteristics. Michael Cremo (1948–) is a Hare Krishna creationist responsible for perpetuating much woo and fodder for conspiracy theorists, particularly through his book Forbidden Archaeology, which he co-wrote with Richard L.
