THE TALE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION

The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds
that man evolved from so-called ape-like creatures. During this alleged
evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started four to five mil-
lion years ago, some “transitional forms” between man and his imagi-
nary ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to this complete-
ly imaginary scenario, four basic “categories” are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call man’s so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means “Southern ape”. These living beings are
actually nothing but an ape species that has become extinct. Extensive
research done on various Australopithecus specimens by two world fa-
mous anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly
Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these apes belonged
to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and bore no resemblance
to humans (Solly Zuckerman, Beyond the Ivory Tower, Toplinger
Publications, New York, 1970, 75-14; Charles E. Oxnard, “The Place of
Australopithecines in Human Evolution: Grounds for Doubt”, Nature,
vol. 258, 389).
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
an imaginary evolution scheme by arranging different fossils of these
creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has
never been proven that there is any evolutionary relationship between
these different classes.
By outlining the chain’s links as Australopithecus > Homo habilis >
Homo erectus > Homo sapiens, evolutionists imply that each of these
species is another’s ancestor. However, recent findings of paleoanthro-
