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 al-
though he was himself one of the leading advocates of evolution
in the twentieth century:

What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting line-
ages of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines,
and H. habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover,
none of the three display any evolutionary trends during their
tenure on earth. 18
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "up-
held" with the help of various drawings of some "half 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 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 crea-
tures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science"
ranging from those he considered scientific to those he consid-
ered unscientific. According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most
"scientific"—that is, depending on concrete data—fields of sci-
ence are chemistry and physics. After them come the biological
sciences and then the social sciences. At the far end of the spec-
trum, which is the part considered to be most "unscientific," are
"extra-sensory perception"—concepts such as telepathy and
