I can appreciate that our picture of human history is incomplete. The authoritarian certainty of history teachers is drastically different then the understanding of professional scientists. Not that there isn't room for improvement in the science, by definition there is, but these bombshell findings require a healthy amount of necessary skepticism.

yes. I feel the same way about prehistory. we call it prehistory because we don't have an accurate appraisal of the state of affairs.

We call it prehistory because we have NO appraisal of ANYTHING. History is simply what was written, not what was written accurately.

History is simply what was written, not what was written accurately.
An important distinction indeed.
