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 scientists in the U.K., who carried out research
on this subject for years and studied Australopithecus fos-
sils for 15 years, finally concluded, despite being an evolu-
tionist 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 sci-
ence" ranging from those he considered scientific to those
he considered unscientific. According to Zuckerman's
spectrum, the most "scientific"-that is, depending on con-
crete 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 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 presumed biological science, like extrasen-
sory perception or the interpretation of man's fossil history,
where to the faithful [evolutionist] anything is possible - and
where the ardent believer [in evolution] is sometimes able to
believe several contradictory things at the same time. 19
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but
the prejudiced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by
certain people, who blindly adhere to their theory.
