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 fact, no such family tree branching
out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting “spectrum of sci-
ence” ranging from those he considered scientific to those he
considered unscientific. According to Zuckerman’s spec-
trum, the most “scientific”—that is, depending on concrete
data—fields of science are chemistry and physics. After
them come the biological sciences and then the social sci-
ences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the part con-
sidered to be most “unscientific,” are “extra-sensory percep-
tion”—concepts such as telepathy and sixth sense—and
finally “human evolution.” Zuckerman explains his reason-
ing:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those
fields of presumed biological science, like extrasensory percep-
tion or the interpretation of man’s fossil history, where to the
faithful [evolutionist] anything is possible—and where the
ardent believer [in evolution] is sometimes able to believe sever-
al contradictory things at the same time. 18
The tale of human evolution boils down to nothing but
the prejudiced interpretations of some fossils unearthed by
certain people, who blindly adhere to their theory.
