This situation indicates the invalidity of the claim that they are an-
cestors 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 ho-
minids (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. (S. J. Gould, Natural
History, vol. 85, 1976, p. 30)
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 textbooks, that is, frankly,
propaganda, is nothing but a a tale with no scientific foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected sci-
entists 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” rang-
ing from those he considered scientific to those he considered unsci-
entific. According to Zuckerman’s spectrum, 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 so-
cial sciences. At the far end of the spectrum, which is the part consid-
ered to be most “unscientific”, are “extra-sensory perception” –
concepts such as telepathy and a sixth sense – and finally “human
evolution”. Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
