The Deception of Evolution
cestors are supposed to have existed. A c c o rding to this completely
imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
1 . Australopithecus
2 . Homo habilis
3 . Homo ere c t u s
4 . Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These living be-
ings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become ex-
tinct. Extensive re s e a rch done on various A u s t r a l o p i t h e c u ss p e c i m e n s
by two world famous anatomists from England and the USA, namely,
L o rd 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. 1 3
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as
"homo," that is "man." A c c o rding to their claim, the living beings in the
.
Homo series are more developed than A u s t r a l o p i t h e c u sEvolutionists
devise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging diff e rent fossils of
these cre a t u res in a particular ord e r. This scheme is imaginary because
it has never been proved that there is an evolutionary relation between
these diff e rent classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the twentieth century's most
important evolutionists, contends in his book One Long Arg u m e n tt h a t
"particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of life or of Homo
sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying
e x p l a n a t i o n . " 1 4
By outlining the link chain as A u s t r a l o p i t h e c u s> Homo habilis>
Homo ere c t u s> Homo sapiensevolutionists imply that each of these

species is one another's ancestor. However, recent findings of paleoan-
