Homo habilis, and Homo erectus lived at different parts of the
world at the same time. 15
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo
erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens ne-
andarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed
in the same region. 16
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the
claim that they are ancestors of one another. Stephen Jay Gould
explained 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 linea-
ges of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and
H. habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of
the three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on
earth. 17

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "up-
held" with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half
human" creatures appearing in the media and course books, that
is, frankly, by means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no
scientific foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respect-
ed scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject
for years and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally
concluded, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in
fact, no such family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to
man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science"
ranging from those he considered scientific to those he consid-
