HOW DO THE UNWISE INTERPRET THE QUR'AN?

> 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
different parts of the world at the same time. 16
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 region. 17
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim
that they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist from
Harvard University, Stephen Jay Gould, explains this deadlock of
the theory of evolution although he is an evolutionist himself:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting
lineages 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. 18
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is sought to
be upheld 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 ground.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected
scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for
years, and particularly studied Australopithecus fossils for 15
years, finally concluded, despite 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." He
formed a spectrum of sciences ranging from those he considered
scientific to those he considered unscientific. According to
