I have to also reject the writer's underlying thesis that "history" is somehow inherited.

Yep..according to K Marx history is written (re-written) by those in power (the winners)

I didn't know Marx was an expert in genetics (although the commies probably made some claims in that regard).

I was referring to the type of "inheritence" you get with your parent's DNA, not the passing of knowledge through normal means (language, experience).

I have noticed that the history of the Celtic people in ancient Gaul was written by the Romans, and that of the Celtic people in ancient Spain was written by the Greeks before them.

Does that mean the Greeks and Romans were Marxists?
