Neanderthal." Since Neanderthals are a modern human race, Homo
erectus is also a modern human race.
Even the evolutionist Richard Leakey states that the differences
between Homo erectus and modern man are no more than racial vari-
ance:
One would also see differences in the shape of the skull, in the degree
of protrusion of the face, the robustness of the brows and so on. These
differences are probably no more pronounced than we see today be-
tween the separate geographical races of modern humans. Such bio-
logical variation arises when populations are geographically sepa-
rated from each other for significant lengths of time. 8
Professor William Laughlin from the University of Connecticut
made extensive anatomical examinations of Inuits and the people
living on the Aleutian islands, and noticed that these people were
extraordinarily similar to Homo erectus. The conclusion Laughlin ar-
rived at was that all these distinct races were in fact different races
of Homo sapiens (modern man):
When we consider the vast differences that exist between remote
groups such as Eskimos and Bushmen, who are known to belong to
the single species of Homo sapiens, it seems justifiable to conclude
that Sinanthropus [an erectus specimen] belongs within this same
diverse species. 9

There is a huge gap between Homo erectus, a human race, and
the apes that preceded Homo erectus in the "human evolution" sce-
nario (Australopithecus, Homo Habilis, and Homo rudolfensis). This
means that the first men appeared in the fossil record suddenly and
without any prior evolutionary history.
