The Tale of Human Evolution
The subject most often brought up by advocates of the the-
ory of evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The
Darwinist claim holds that modern man evolved from ape-like
creatures. During this alleged evolutionary process, which is
supposed to have started 4-5 million years ago, some "transition-
al forms" between modern man and his ancestors are supposed
to have existed. According to this completely imaginary scenar-
io, four basic "categories" are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These liv-
ing beings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has
become extinct. Extensive research done on various
Australopithecus specimens by two world famous anatomists
from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman and
Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these apes belonged to an or-
dinary ape species that became extinct and bore no resemblance
to humans. 13
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as
"homo," that is "man." According to their claim, the living beings
in the Homo series are more developed than Australopithecus.
