The Founding Directors are Arjuna Weerasinghe, Hao Weimin and Ranjith Liyanage.

The Human Proto-History Project



We study and support the study into human proto-history, the missing link between human pre-history and the early historical period. Systematic study of scientific data relating to this period of human history is vital to understanding the journey of the human species. This void in knowledge has been filled with mythology and scientifically un-substaniated opinion. The Human Proto-History Project of the Academy of Universal Heritage is intended to identify scientific data that will systematically reveal the footsteps of mankind accross this period of time.

The Human Proto-History Project aims to gather scientific data that is as contemporanious to the proto-historical period as possible. This, we believe, enhances accurate understanding of our shared history and discourages distortion of historical events by opinion. We also support the conservation and making available for academic study of more recent records, which have been forgotten in time and may reveal vital information relating to human proto-history.
