Evolutionist newspapers and
FALSE magazines often print pictures

available source for these pic-
tures is the imagination of the
artist. Evolutionary theory has
been so dented by scientific
data that today we see less
and less of it in the serious
press.

cestor. However, recent findings of paleoanthropologists
have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and
Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same
time. 33
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as
Homo erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo
sapiens neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (pre-

sent-day man) co-existed in the same region. 34
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the
claim that they are ancestors of one another. The late Stephen
Jay Gould explained this deadlock of the theory of evolution
although he was himself one of the leading advocates of evo-
lution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages
of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. ha-
bilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the
three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on
earth. 35
