Evolutionist newspapers and
magazines often print pictures
of primitive man. The only avail-
FALSE able source for these pictures is
the imagination of the artist.
Evolutionary theory has been so
dented by scientific data that
today we see less and less of it
in the serious press.

and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 81
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 pale-
oanthropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis,
and Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same
time. 82
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erec-
tus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens nean-
darthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in
the same region. 83
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim
that they are ancestors of one another. Stephen Jay Gould ex-
plained 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 lin-
eages of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines,
and H. habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover,
