Popis:	V. Ignatowski (1910) showed that assumptions about light are not necessary to obtain Lorentzian kinematics as one of only few possibilities. We give a much simplified proof of his result as formulated by V. Gorini (1971) for $n$+1-dimensional space-time. Comment: 9 pages. Accepted version, to appear in Journal of Geometry and Physics
