FALSE

There are no fossil remains that support the tale
of human evolution. On the contrary, the fossil
record shows that there is an insurmountable bar-
rier between apes and men. In the face of this
truth, evolutionists fixed their hopes on certain
drawings and models. They randomly place masks
on the fossil remains and fabricate imaginary
half-ape, half-human faces.

Evolutionists call man’s so-called first ape-like ancestors Aus-
tralopithecus, 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
famous 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 resem-
blance 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).
