A HISTORICAL LIE:                        THE STONE AGE




                Darwinists, that civilizations always progress from the primitive to
                the more advanced. A number of ideological concerns underlie the
                attempt to account for the history of Man—who founds civilizations,
                composes music, produces works of art, constructs impressive
                buildings, explores space and makes scientific and technological dis-
                coveries—in terms of a supposed process of evolution. The correct
                approach for scientists is to behave in the light of the facts deter-
                mined by experiment, discovery and observation, not ideological
                concerns.
