Michael A. Cremo (born July 15, 1948), also known by his devotional name Drutakarmā dāsa, is an American freelance researcher who identifies himself as a "Vedic creationist" and argues that humans have lived on the earth for billions of years. Cremo's book, Forbidden Archeology, has attracted attention from mainstream scholars who criticized his unorthodox views on archeology and called his work pseudoscience.

In 1993, Cremo co-wrote Forbidden Archeology with Richard L. Thompson. The book claims that humans have lived on the earth for millions, or billions, of years, and that the scientific establishment has suppressed the fossil evidence of extreme human antiquity. He speaks about a knowledge filter (confirmation bias) as the cause of this suppression. Although Cremo has made very certain claims pointing to not only science but those who support it as being dishonest, Cremo has yet to submit any of his experimental data in support of his claims for peer review.
Forbidden Archeology has attracted attention from some mainstream scholars as well as Hindu creationists and paranormalists.[citation needed] While some scholars of mainstream archeology and paleoanthropology have described the work as pseudoscience, some critics have acknowledged some positive aspects of the book.

Anthropologist Kenneth L. Feder wrote in his review of Forbidden Archeology: "While decidedly antievolutionary in perspective, this work is not the ordinary variety of anti-evolutionism in form, content, or style. In distinction to the usual brand of such writing, the authors use original sources and the book is well written. Further, the overall tone of the work is far superior to that exhibited in ordinary creationist literature."

Archaeologist Tim Murray wrote in his review of Forbidden Archeology: "I have no doubt that there will be some who will read this book and profit from it. Certainly it provides the historian of archeology with a useful compendium of case studies in the history and sociology of scientific knowledge, which can be used to foster debate within archaeology about how to describe the epistemology of one's discipline." He also commented on the similarities in argument with those of Christian Creationists: "This is a piece of 'Creation Science' which, while not based on the need to promote a Christian alternative, manifests many of the same types of argument: first, an attempt to characterize the opposition as motivated by the need to preserve their view of the world rather than a desire to practice unfettered inquiry; secondly, to explain the currently marginal position of your alternative as being the result of prejudice, conspiracy and manipulation rather than of any fault of the theory itself; thirdly, to present the opposition (in this case mainstream palaeoanthropology and quarternary [sic] archaeology) as being united as a 'secret college' to manipulate the public mind and to exclude non-professionals from being able to control science for the benefit of all.
