The "winding up" of this molecular clock rests entirely on evo-
lutionist prejudice. In fact, the "clock" in question is not synchro-
nized for that very reason: It was claimed in one article in the well-
known journal Science that according to one new molecular clock
"mitochondrial Eve" must have lived no more than 6,000 years ago. 4
All this shows that the "mitochondrial Eve" thesis expressed on
The Discovery Channel is actually quite meaningless. The essence
of the theory is that evolutionists dazzled by the illusion of
Darwinism naturally look at genes under the influence of that illu-
sion, and see exactly what they want to see.

as a human race, Neanderthal Man is still portrayed as a primitive
species. The recreations portrayed by The Discovery Channel show
Neanderthal Man as a human who screamed instead of using
proper speech, a wild thing who howled like a wolf.
The fact is, however, that discoveries regarding Neanderthal
anatomy and culture show that there was nothing primitive about
Neanderthal Man at all, and prove that they were a human race
who lived, thought and spoke, and enjoyed a culture and civiliza-
tion just like modern man.
The evolutionist distortion in this regard goes back to the 19th
century, to the discovery of the first Neanderthal fossil in 1856. The
distortions in the skeletal reconstruction made by the French
anatomist Marcelline Boule led to Neanderthal Man's being re-
garded as a brutish ape-man, who walked in a crouch and pos-
