This picture was drawn
based on a single tooth

the Illustrated London
News of 24th July 1922.
However, evolutionists
were extremely
disappointed when it
was revealed that this
tooth belonged neither

to an ape-like creature F FA AL LS SE
nor to a man, but to an
extinct species of pig.

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 evolu-
tionary 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 [puzzles] such as the origin of life or of Homo sapi-
ens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 14
By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo habilis > Homo erec-
tus > Homo sapiens, evolutionists imply that each of these species is one anoth-
er'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. 15
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. 16
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that they are
ancestors of one another. Stephen Jay Gould explained this deadlock of the the-
ory of evolution although he was himself one of the leading advocates of evo-
lution in the twentieth century:
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 display any evo-
lutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 17
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 course books, that is, frankly, by means of propaganda, is nothing
