Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld"
with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human"

creatures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly,
by means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific
foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected sci-
entists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years
and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded, de-
spite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such fami-
ly tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" rang-

ing from those he considered scientific to those he considered unscien-
tific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"—that is,
depending on concrete data—fields of science are chemistry and
physics. After them come the biological sciences and then the social sci-
ences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the part considered to be
most "unscientific," are "extra-sensory perception"—concepts such as
telepathy and sixth sense—and finally "human evolution." Zuckerman
explains his reasoning:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields of pre-
sumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the interpretation

of man's fossil history, where to the faithful [evolutionist] anything is pos-
sible – and where the ardent believer [in evolution] is sometimes able to be-
lieve several contradictory things at the same time. 187
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but the prej-
udiced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by certain people,
who blindly adhere to their theory.
