The Evolution Deceit                   113



                                              lution although he was himself one of
                                              the leading advocates of evolution in
                                              the twentieth century:
            FALSE                             What has become of our ladder if there
             FALSE
                                              are three coexisting lineages of hominids
                                              (A. africanus, the robust australop-
                                              ithecines, and H. habilis), none clearly
                                              derived from another? Moreover, none of
                                              the three display any evolutionary trends
                                              during their tenure on earth. 80
                                                  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, by means of propaganda, 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 branching
            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 pre-
                 sumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the interpretation
                 of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolutionist] anything is possi-
                 ble – and where the ardent believer [in evolution] is sometimes able to
                 believe several contradictory things at the same time. 81
