Book excerpt: In her first book, Australian researcher Karen Mutton catalogued fascinating and mysterious underwater ruins around the world. Here, she gives us the rundown on intriguing anomalous skeletal evidence that paints a very different picture of humankind's past than archeologists normally proffer. She starts with a discussion of various theories of human origins, concentrating on the major theories of Darwinian Evolution and Creationism. In her thorough analysis, she describes the fakes and mistakes coming out of both camps. She takes on the tangled tree of evolution, presenting the Australopithecine Debate and information on Homo habilis, Homo erectus and archaic Homo sapiens. Things get really strange when Mutton reveals a plethora of remains that seem grossly out of time and place: anatomically modern humans in ancient strata, Caucasians in prehistoric China, and pre-Maori races in New Zealand among others. Then she moves on to strange skulls, showing amazing examples of the weird skull modifications found in cultures all around the world that left people with pointed "coneheads" or squashed "flatheads." Not to mention M-heads, pumpkin heads or horned skulls! The final discussion of pygmies and giants will leave you with no doubt as to how weird this world can be! Book jacket.
