man” so strongly that when a researcher called William Bryan opposed such
definitive pronouncements being made on the basis of a single molar, he attracted

enormous wrath.
In 1927, however, other parts of the skeleton were found. These showed that the tooth
belonged neither to a human being nor to an ape or monkey. It was realized that the tooth belonged
to a species of extinct American wild pig called Prosthennops. William Gregory titled a paper in Science

magazine in which he announced this “Hesperopithecus: Apparently Not an Ape Nor a Man.” 61
Science writer Hank Hanegraaff explains the developments as follows:

In 1922, A TOOTH WAS DISCOVERED IN NEBRASKA. With a little imagination the tooth was connected
to a mythological jawbone, the jawbone was connected to a skull, the skull was connected to a skeleton, and
the skeleton was given a face, features, and fur. By the time the story hit a London newspaper, not only was

there a picture of “Nebraska Man” but there was also a picture of “Nebraska Mom.” All of that from a sin-
gle, solitary tooth. Imagine what might have happened if a skeleton had been discovered. Perhaps a year-
book would have been published!

Sometime after the initial discovery, an identical tooth was found by geologist Harold Cook. This time the
tooth was attached to an actual skull, and the skull was attached to the skeleton of a wild pig. Thus, Nebraska
man, known by the “scientific” designation Hesperopithecus haroldcooki, has been unmasked as a myth rather

than a man in the making. 62
As a consequence, all pictures of Hesperopithecus haroldcooki and its “family” were hastily removed from

the literature. Nebraska Man is an important indication of how Darwinists can produce an utterly fantastic
scenario of evolution on the basis of a single tooth. Although a tooth provides no information about a living
thing’s general anatomy, the way that the drawings of Nebraska Man and his family were produced on the
basis of a pig’s tooth, and the fact that this was portrayed as scientific until the truth was revealed, is a huge

logical deficiency and an utter humiliation for Darwinism. But Darwinists have refused to abandon frauds,
and are consciously continuing with their Darwinist deceptions.
