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
