Forced Speculation in Time Magazine
August 27 – Detailed analyses by Joseph Mastropaolo, a world-
famous scientist and member of the American Physiological Society,
invalidated Time's evolutionist propaganda. Time magazine had an-
nounced to the world that the fossils of the species Ardipithecus
ramidus kadabba discovered by the University of California at
Berkeley anthropologist Yohannes Haile-Selassie in Ethiopia repre-
sented the "missing link." In its cover story dated July 23, 2001, and
entitled "Meet your newfound ancestor, a chimplike forest crea-
ture," Time discussed the fossil in question in terms of a bipedal evo-

issue was a painting of an ape-man called
Ardipithecus ramidus kadabba. The painting

ing as evidence for this nothing but a single
toe bone which was actually found some six-
teen kilometers (ten miles) from
the other bones. However, Time's
claim that this creature was a
human ancestor was discredited
by later studies on the toe bone.
