Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These
living beings are actually nothing but an old ape species that
has become extinct. Extensive research done on various
Australopithecus specimens by two world famous anatomists
from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman
and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these apes belonged to
an ordinary ape species that became 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 different fossils of these creatures in a
particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has
never been proved that there is an evolutionary relation
between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the twen-
tieth century's most important evolutionists, contends in his
book One Long Argument that "particularly historical [puzzles]
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 habilis, and Homo
