The Cambrian Evidence That Darwin Failed to Comprehend

                   Homo series are more developed than  Australopithecus.
                   Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging dif-
                   ferent fossils of these creatures in a particular order. This scheme is
                   imaginary because it has never been proved that there is an evolu-
                   tionary relation between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of
                   the twentieth century's most important evolutionists, contends in
                   his book One 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." 200
                        By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo habilis >
                   Homo erectus > Homo sapiens, evolutionists imply that each of these
                   species is one another's ancestor. However, recent findings of pale-
                   oanthropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis,
                   and Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same
                   time. 201
                        Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erec-
                   tus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens nean-
                   darthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the
                   same region. 202
                        This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim
                   that they are ancestors of one another. 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 dis-
                        play any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 203
                        Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld"
                   with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human"
                   creatures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly,
