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 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
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. 123
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld" with the
help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human" creatures appear-
ing in the media and course books, that is, frankly, by means of propa-
ganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific foundation.
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 studied
Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded, despite being an
evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such family tree branch-
ing out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" ranging from
those he considered scientific to those he considered unscientific.
According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"–that is, depend-
ing on concrete data–fields of science are chemistry and physics. After them
come the biological sciences and then the social sciences. At the far end of
the spectrum, which is the part considered to be most "unscientific," are
"extra-sensory perception"–concepts such as telepathy and sixth sense–and
finally "human evolution." Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields of
presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the inter-
pretation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolutionist] any-
thing is possible – and where the ardent believer [in evolution] is some-
times able to believe several contradictory things at the same time. 124
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the preju-
diced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by certain people, who
blindly adhere to their theory.
