The Evolution Deception

1. Australopithecus

2. Homo habilis

3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens

Evolutionists call the so-called first ape-like ancestors of men
"Australopithecus" which means "South African ape." These living be-
ings 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. 281

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 most important proponents of
the theory of evolution in the 20th century, contends in his book One

Long Argument that "particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin
of life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a
final, satisfying explanation." 282

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 paleoan-
thropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis and

Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 283

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 re-
gion. 284

This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist from Harvard
University, Stephen Jay Gould, explains this deadlock of the theory
