Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo
erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens
neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (man) co-existed in
the same region. (Jeffrey Kluger, "Not So Extinct After All: The
Primitive Homo Erectus May Have Survived Long Enough To
Coexist With Modern Humans," Time, 23 December 1996)
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim
that they are ancestors of one another. The late 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. (S. J. Gould, Natural His-
tory, vol. 85, 1976, p. 30)
Evolutionists generally interpret
fossils in the light of their ideologi-
cal expectations, for which reason
the conclusions they arrive at are
for the most part unreliable.
