title: Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals: 100,000 Years of Lost History
author:  Colin Wilson 
description: "<i>Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neandertahals</i> is a fascinating contribution to the debate about ancient civilizations, written with rare psychological insight, and a more than worthy addition to Wilson's canon." (<i>Steve Taylor, New Dawn, Nov-Dec 2006</i>)<br /><br />Somewhere in the far distant past may not be far enough or distant enough to tell us the truth of our beginnings. <i>Atlantis and the Kingdom of the Neanderthals, 100,000 years of Lost History</i> is a great way to start re-configuring what we know.

  If not for the floorboard that came up at one end, it might all have happened
  differently. Or it might never have happened at all. How do you measure might-
  have-beens? Frederick Radcliff never found an answer to that, and the question
