            nary ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to this com-
            pletely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
                 1. Australopithecus
                 2. Homo habilis
                 3. Homo erectus
                 4. Homo sapiens
                 Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
            Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These living beings
            are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become extinct.
            Extensive research done on various Australopithecus specimens by two
            world famous anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord
            Solly Zuckerman and Prof.
            Charles Oxnard, shows that
            these apes belonged to an
            ordinary ape species that
            became extinct and bore no
            resemblance to humans. 81
                 Evolutionists classify
            the next stage of human evolu-
            tion as "homo," that is "man."
            According to their claim, the living
            beings in the Homo series are more
            developed than  Australopithecus.
            Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolu-
                                                                         E
            tion scheme by arranging different fos-
            sils of these creatures in a particular            LSE
            order. This scheme is imaginary be-
            cause it has never been proved that     FALS
            there is an evolutionary relation be-   FA



           Evolutionist newspapers and
           magazines often print pictures
           of primitive man. The only
           available source for these pic-
           tures is the imagination of the
           artist. Evolutionary theory has
           been so dented by scientific
           data that today we see less
           and less of it in the serious
           press.
