posed to have existed. According to this completely
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 ances-
tors Australopithecus, which means "South African ape."
These living beings are actually nothing but an old 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 resemblance to humans. 110
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolu-
tion as "homo," that is "man." According to their claim,
the living beings in the Homo series are more developed
than Australopithecus. Evolutionists devise a fanciful
evolution scheme by arranging different fossils of these
creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary
because it has never been proved that there is an evolu-
tionary relation between these different classes. Ernst
Mayr, one of the twentieth century's most important evo-
lutionists, contends in his book One Long Argument that
"particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of life
or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even
resist a final, satisfying explanation." 111
