particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has never been proved
that there is an evolutionary relation between these different classes. Ernst
Mayr, one of the twentieth century's most important evolutionists, 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." 18
By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo habilis > Homo
erectus > Homo sapiens, evolutionists imply that each of these species is one
another's ancestor. 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. 19
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus have
lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis and Homo
sapiens sapiens (present-day man) co-existed in the same region. 20
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 evolution 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.
habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the
three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 21

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld" 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.
