                                 The Evolution Misconception

              These living beings are actually nothing but an old ape
              species that has become extinct. Extensive research done on
              various Australopithecus specimens by two world famous
              anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly

              Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, has shown that these
              belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and
              bore no resemblance to humans.  29
                  Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution
              as "homo," that is "man." According to the evolutionist claim,
              the living beings in the Homo series are more developed than
              Australopithecus. Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolution
              scheme by arranging different fossils of these creatures in a
              particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has
              never been proved that there is an evolutionary relation
              between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the
              foremost defenders of the theory of evolution in the 20th
              century, admits this fact by saying that "the chain reaching as
              far as Homo sapiens is actually lost."  30
                  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 paleoanthropologists have revealed that
              Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Homo erectus lived at
              different parts of the world at the same time. 31
                  Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as
              Homo erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo
              sapiens neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens
              (modern man) co-existed in the same region. 32
                  This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the
              claim that they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist
