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. 168
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus
have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis and
Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the same region. 169
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 ad-
vocates of evolution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages of ho-
minids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none
clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three display any evolu-
tionary trends during their tenure on earth. 170
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld" with
the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human" creatures ap-
pearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly, by means of pro-
paganda, 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 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 considered unscientific.
According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"—that is, de-
pending on concrete data—fields of science are chemistry and physics.
After them come the biological sciences and then the social sciences. At
the far end of the spectrum, which is the part considered to be most "un-
scientific," are "extra-sensory perception"—concepts such as telepathy
