TRUE NATURAL HISTORY-I

(FROM INVERTEBRATES TO REPTILES)

F or some people, the very concept of natural history implies the

theory of evolution. The reason for this is the heavy propaganda
that has been carried out. Natural history museums in most
countries are under the control of materialist evolutionary
biologists, and it is they who describe the exhibits in them. They invariably
describe creatures that lived in prehistory and their fossil remains in terms
of Darwinian concepts. One result of this is that most people think that
natural history is equivalent to the concept of evolution.
However, the facts are very different. Natural history reveals that
different classes of life emerged on the earth not through any evolutionary
process, but all at once, and with all their complex structures fully
developed right from the start. Different living species appeared
completely independently of one another, and with no "transitional forms"
between them.
In this chapter, we shall examine real natural history, taking the fossil
record as our basis.

The Classification of Living Things
Biologists place living things into different classes. This classification,
known as "taxonomy," or "systematics," goes back as far as the eighteenth-
century Swedish scientist Carl von Linné, known as Linnaeus. The system
of classification established by Linnaeus has continued and been
developed right up to the present day.
There are hierarchical categories in this classificatory system. Living
