part unreliable.

to humans. 51
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as
"homo," that is "man." According to their 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 the-

Ernst Mayr, one of the twentieth century's most important evo-

cularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of life or of Homo
sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a final, sa-
