The Deception of Evolution 83

thropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and
Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 15
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus

have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis
and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the same re-
gion. 16
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one another. Stephen Jay Gould explained this
deadlock of the theory of evolution, although he was himself one of
the leading advocates of evolution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages of ho-
minids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none
clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three display any evo-
lutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 17

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld"
with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human" crea-
tures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly, by
means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific founda-
tion.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected sci-
entists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years
and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded, de-
spite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such family
tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" rang-
ing from those he considered scientific to those he considered unscien-
tific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"—that
is, depending on concrete data—fields of science are chemistry and
