The Tale of Human Evolution
                 The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
            evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim

            holds that modern man evolved from ape-like creatures. During this
            alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5
            million years ago, some "transitional forms" between modern man
            and his ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to this
            completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
                 1. Australopithecus
                 2. Homo habilis
                 3. Homo erectus
                 4. Homo sapiens

                 Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
            Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These living be-
            ings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become ex-
            tinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus specimens
            by two world famous anatomists from England and the USA, name-
            ly, Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these
            apes belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and
            bore no resemblance to humans. 143
                 Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as "ho-
            mo," that is "man." According to their claim, the living beings in the

            Homo series are more developed than Australopithecus. Evolutionists      HARUN YAHYA
            devise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging different fossils of
            these creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary be-
            cause it has never been proved that there is an evolutionary relation
            between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the twentieth cen-
            tury's most important evolutionists, contends in his book One Long       (ADNAN OKTAR)
            Argument that "particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of
