Long Argument that "particularly historical [puzzles] such as
the origin of life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and
may even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 118
By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo ha-
bilis > Homo erectus > Homo sapiens, evolutionists imply that
each of these species is one another's ancestor. However, recent
findings of paleoanthropologists have revealed that

Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus lived at dif-
ferent parts of the world at the same time. 119
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo
erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens
neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (present-day
man) co-existed in the same region. 120
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the

claim that they are ancestors of one another. The late Stephen
Jay Gould explained this deadlock of the theory of evolution al-
though he was himself one of the leading advocates of evolu-
tion in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lin-
eages of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines,
and H. habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover,
none of the three display any evolutionary trends during their
tenure on earth. 121
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "up-
held" with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half
human" creatures appearing in the media and course books,
that is, frankly, by means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale
with no scientific foundation.

ed scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on this
subject for years and studied Australopithecus
