It is widely accepted that human activity began on this planet
approximately 80,000 years ago; let us ponder this suggestion.
When you consider the progress of Mankind from the manifestive
period, 3500-3000 B.C., to present time, and observe the
exceptional continuity of advancement that is evident within this
relatively brief period of time, then compare the seemingly
apathetic existence of Mankind from the suggested date of
80,000-50,000 B.C. to the manifest period of 3500-3000 B.C.; how
can you reasonably accept the idea that humans seemed so
disinterested in achievement for a period of, perhaps, 75,000
years; particularly when it is so natural to the species. Rather,
Mankind’s progressive advancement up to the manifestive period
must have been obscured. Hence, actual dates and occurrences
become subject to ambiguous theories and are inevitably rendered
mysteries, inexplicable curiosities, or worse, are satisfactorily
though erroneously confirmed as correct.
So many of us are all too eager to accept an idea or
suggestion, and in turn build a foundation of false
circumspection. Never considering the basis of such effort may be
skewed or inconsistent with reality, therefore, maintaining
sincere ingenuousness throughout. Moreover, so many proceed on
this course never realizing the remiss that has occurred
concerning their own objectivity as individuals.
Depending upon who is expounding a theory will determine the level
of acceptance and general approbation it receives from scholars
and, in turn, the masses. Unfortunately, this is one of the
primary frailties of human tendency; and it is one that we are all
subject to. Under careful scrutiny, this element may be traced to
the integral peccant tendencies that existed in Mankind from the
very beginning.
This line of thinking leads us to the principal medium of
transference of such potentials...The book.
The book may be at the same time a treasure trove and a snare. The
fascinating paradoxical quality of a book is that it is firstly an
admirable conveyance device which, given the perceptive tendencies
of the human mind, renders a book that is well written, or written
by someone well esteemed, into an authoritative proclamation that
makes an enduring yet not ineradicable imprint on the mind. This,
in turn, transforms such a book into the paradoxical nemesis of
its former most admirable proprium.
Trigant Burrow had summed up the culmination of what I am
alluding to here quite well when he stated the following within
his penning, A Relative Concept of Consciousness an Analysis of
Consciousness in its Ethnic Origin:
“If our observation is not subjectively inclusive of the
objective world about us, in the same measure our judgments are
not inclusive of it.”
If, however, the reader is cognizant of such eventualities, and
in turn, exercises a sense of proportion during their perception
processes, the chance of maligning their own comprehension will be
greatly minimized. It is at this point that the book may be
considered the most important invention since and including the
wheel.
History books are perhaps the most valuable of all, in
intrinsic worth; as they offer the wisdom of the ages to all who
avail themselves of such privilege.
Let us tarry for a moment, and think about the compilation of a
history book. Books of this sort are generally written by
specialists; for this example let us say, archeology; within such
a book the scrutiny of the history in study, would be
subject to archaeological principles, and in turn would render a
premise of history through an archeologist’s looking glass.
On the same line of reasoning, a history book written by a
linguist would be formatted in a similar manner. I do not mean to
suggest that any book written by a specialist on their specific
area of study is slanted. I am actually indicating the natural
tendentious qualities that may exist. Moreover, I am highlighting
the default perceptions or typical predilections that are inherent
in us all, which, when applied to research and information
gathering, could work against us.
Whenever we are dealing with an unknown, the initial point of
departure must be hypothesis. Constructive hypotheses are a
product of singular scrutiny. Therefore, if we are to advance to
the truth of the matter, we must gather in all that is pertinent
to this end, and then discard by way of arduous and objective
reasoning only the impossible, always putting aside and keeping in
mind the improbable. This leads me to the meat of this article,
the clouded and in certain areas misinterpreted questions on the
origin and continuance of Mankind.
As a dispassionate student of human nature, and objective cynic
(otherwise known as historical scholar) I postulate the following,
which may retain an iota of possible, but no probable,
inconsistency:
Within a relatively brief time span from the arrival of Mankind on
this Earth, the entire surface had been traversed. Make no mistake
of this, and rest assured of it.
There exists integrally, within what is termed the
species-Human, an instillment. This instillment compels us to
persevere unrelentingly in an effort to know or discover. When we
cast our minds back to the Age of Discovery, we are able to
clearly view an excellent example of this avidity. Although,
nowadays the prospect of significant terrestrial discovery lies in
circumspective theory only; impressively, this particular
endowment has a perpetual nature and is disregarding of available
potentials, ever striving inexorably for some direction-an avenue
of pursuit. Hence, just as the earliest peoples of the world could
not rest until the entire treadable surface had been traveled, we
of the modern world will not be assuaged until the true facts
surrounding such adventures of discovery are known.
Although I may seem to be deviating into a separate and in
itself significant topic of study—The Inherent and Potentially
Baneful Qualities of Imperfect Mankind; I am maintaining an acute
relevance to the current subject of study. And, to precisely state
what subject of study I am referring to, I submit the following:
How and approximately when were the continents now known as the
Americas inhabited by human beings to the point in time that they
were first referred to by modern historians in a language and
medium that is accepted as genuine history, and, from what region
of the globe did such individuals inaugurate their journey/s?
These nagging questions, which collectively form a captivating and
enduring enigma, have been the basis of numerous theories,
legends, and controversies and, of course, books on the subject.
It is this exceptional enigma or curiosity of history that my
work, Derivation Incognita addresses. Within this monograph I have
achieved what I feel is a satisfactory explanation, accompanied by
both annotation and illustration. I have done so completely
unbiased, and open-mindedly.
I now leave the question of approbation of my book:
A compilation of theory, legend, postulation, what is perceived as
fact, and what is genuine, to the reader; be they a scholar,
history buff, or merely perpetual wonderer. However, such shall be
deemed pertinent only if and when they have scrutinized and
researched all of the irreducible constituents of the written
effort I have compiled; as this prerequisite exists inherently in
my work, by design.

Book Reviews
“The stated focus of Derivation Incognita is to tender a
reasoned theory as to the roots of American civilization. It is
much more than that. Frankly, I sometimes felt like a character in
the Da Vinci Code reading an ancient tome trying to uncover the
mysterious roots of all human civilization.
Author Vindex's treatment of the subject of human migration is
all encompassing, going back to the time of Pangaea, before it’s
purported separation into the continents with which we are now
familiar. Using numerous old maps and drawing on a huge
bibliography (included in detail at the end of the book), Vindex,
step by step, questions, dissects, and compares theories regarding
formation of the continents and the likely paths that humans
traveled to populate the world. He then leaves the reader to
decide for themselves as to the ultimate truth.” -- Jim Andrews,
author of “The MindTech Principles”
“Diogenes Vindex provides compelling well-researched evidence
for migration of various ethnic and racial groups to the Americas
from several different geographical areas. The author is doing
this job in a thoughtful self-deprecating manner being careful to
avoid dogmatic thinking and easy conclusions. The book appears to
be a culmination of at least a decade of painstaking research on
the subject and will challenge the accepted views about the human
migration history of the continents of South and North America.
The book is filled with maps and illustrations (44 maps alone!)
making it easy for the reader to grasp the main arguments
proffered by the author. Insightful quotes from great minds of the
past are brightening up the discussion of the long lists of
cartographic, biblical, geological and historical evidence. Very
interesting reading!” -- Nikolai Shevchuk, author of “How to
Become Smarter”
“I must admit I have not read a book like this. This read blew
my mind. It opened perspectives and views of humanity and the
evolution of earth. The book's aim is to show the population
migration pre-great-flood world and the origins of the people of
America. Dr. Vindex did a great job with detailed maps,
descriptions and superb writing to show his case. I rate this book
a 5-star.” -- Andras M. Nagy, publisher, and author of “Faith:
Belief with Wings: and Other Essays for Awakening”
