Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a
final, satisfying explanation." 15
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 paleoanthropologists have revealed that Australopithecus,
Homo habilis, and Homo erectus lived at different parts of the
world at the same time. 16
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo
erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens
neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (man) co-existed
in the same region. 17
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim
that they are ancestors of one another. The late 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
lineages 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. 18

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is
"upheld" 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 respected
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
