THE MIRACLE OF MIGRATION IN ANIMALS

                 and Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same
                 time. 89
                     Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erec-
                 tus have lived up until very modern times.  Homo sapiens nean-
                 darthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the
                 same region. 90
                     This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim
                 that they are ancestors of one another. 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 display
                     any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 91

                     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 foun-
                 dation.
                     Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected
                 scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for
                 years and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally con-
                 cluded, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no
                 such family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
                     Zuckerman also made an interesting “spectrum of science”
                 ranging from those he considered scientific to those he considered
                 unscientific. According to Zuckerman’s spectrum, the most “scien-
                 tific”—that is, depending on concrete data—fields of science are
                 chemistry and physics. After them come the biological sciences and
                 then the social sciences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the
                 part considered to be most “unscientific,” are “extra-sensory percep-
