232 THE MIRACLE OF ELECTRICITY IN THE BODY

pologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo
erectus all lived at different parts of the world at the same time (Alan
Walker, Science, vol. 207, 7 March 1980, p. 1103; A. J. Kelso, Physical

Anthropology, 1st ed., J. B. Lipincott Co., New York, 1970, p. 221; M. D.
Leakey, Olduvai Gorge, vol. 3, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge,
1971, p. 272).
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus
H
have lived up until very modern times. Homo erectus and Homo sapi-
ens co-existed in the same region and era. (Jeffrey Kluger, “Not So
Extinct After All,” Time, 24 June 2001)
This situation indicates the invalidity of the claim that they are an-
cestors of one another. The late Stephen Jay Gould explained this dead-
lock of the theory of evolution, although he was himself one of the lead-
ing advocates of evolution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages of ho-
minids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none
clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three display any evolu-
tionary trends during their tenure on earth. (S. J. Gould, Natural History, vol.
85, 1976, p. 30)
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is “upheld”
with the help of various drawings of some “half ape, half human” crea-
tures appearing in the media and textbooks, that is, frankly, propagan-
da, 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, 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 “scientific” – that is, de-
pending on concrete data – fields of science are chemistry and physics.
After them come the biological sciences and then the social sciences. At
