shows that these apes belonged to an ordinary ape species that be-
came 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.
Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolution scheme by arranging dif-
ferent fossils of these creatures in a particular order. This scheme
is imaginary because it has never been proved that there is an evo-
lutionary relation between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one
of the twentieth century's most important evolutionists, contends
in his book One Long Argument that "particularly historical [puz-
zles] such as the origin of life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely
difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 14
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 ha-
bilis, 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 nean-
darthalensis 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. A paleontologist from
Harvard University, Stephen Jay Gould, explains this deadlock of
the theory of evolution, although he is an evolutionist himself:
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 dis-
play any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 17

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "up-
