- 1981, William Irwin Thompson, The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light: Mythology, Sexuality and the Origins of Culture, London: Rider/Hutchinson & Co., page 136:

When faced with the Marxist fantasies of Srejovic or Childe, or with the psychohistorical hallucinations of Julian Jaynes, I realize that history is never a science and rarely an art, and the historian who pretends to the former loses the latter.
