DARWINISM REFUTED

Canberra and their colleagues. They argued forcefully that Homo erectus had
no validity as a species and should be eliminated altogether. All members of
the genus Homo, from about 2 million years ago to the present, were one
highly variable, widely spread species, Homo sapiens, with no natural breaks
or subdivisions. The subject of the conference, Homo erectus, didn't exist. 202
The conclusion reached by the scientists defending the
abovementioned thesis can be summarized as "Homo erectus is not a
different species from Homo sapiens, but rather a race within Homo sapiens."
On the other hand, there is a huge gap between Homo erectus, a human
race, and the apes that preceded Homo erectus in the "human evolution"
scenario (Australopithecus, Homo Habilis, and Homo rudolfensis). This means
that the first men appeared in the fossil record suddenly and without any
prior evolutionary history.

Neanderthals: Their Anatomy and Culture

Neanderthals (Homo neanderthalensis) were human beings who
suddenly appeared 100,000 years ago in Europe, and who disappeared, or
were assimilated by mixing with other races, quietly but quickly 35,000
years ago. Their only difference from modern man is that their skeletons
are more robust and their cranial capacity slightly bigger.
Neanderthals were a human race, a fact which is admitted by almost
everybody today. Evolutionists have tried very hard to present them as a
"primitive species," yet all the findings indicate that they were no different
from a "robust" man walking on the street today. A prominent authority
on the subject, Erik Trinkaus, a paleoanthropologist from New Mexico
University, writes:
Detailed comparisons of Neanderthal skeletal remains with those of modern
humans have shown that there is nothing in Neanderthal anatomy that
conclusively indicates locomotor, manipulative, intellectual, or linguistic
abilities inferior to those of modern humans. 203

Many contemporary researchers define Neanderthal man as a
subspecies of modern man, and call him Homo sapiens neanderthalensis.
On the other hand, the fossil record shows that Neanderthals
possessed an advanced culture. One of the most interesting examples of
this is a fossilized flute made by Neanderthal people. This flute, made
