And Skinner also explicitly defended that view in *Science & Human Behavior*, *Beyond Freedom & Dignity* and other works. Other thinkers have also rejected the idea of history as being the product of autonomous individuals as well. The French Annalists were rather explicit about this as well as any number of French structuralist and post-structuralists like Foucault and Althusser.

In American social science, the sociologist Bruce Mayhew was very explicit on this subject as well. http://www.marxmail.org/archives/Mar99/mayhew.htm
