ago. They have a dome-shaped skull and a wide
forehead. The 1600-cubic-centimeter volume of
their skull is higher than that of the average pre-
sent-day human. They have thick eyebrow bulges
on their skulls and also have a bony bulge at the
back of their skulls, which is also a characteristic
feature of Neanderthals.
Much the same kind of physical differences be-
tween the Cro-Magnon and Neanderthals also ex-
ist between the present-day human races. Just as Imaginary Neanderthal reconstructions
the diversities between an American and an Inuit,
or an African and a European, do not prove that
any one of them is superior to any other; so phys-
ical properties of these extinct races do not make
them primitive or ape-like. These races were as-
similated by the other races or, for some unknown
reason, they left the stage of history. Yet in no way
were they “primitives” or “half-apes.” They existed
as perfect human beings.

should have different skull struc-

tures. Different fish species also have
differently shaped heads. For in-
stance the shape of head of a salmon
trout is much different from that of
an eel, yet both are fish.
Similarly, there are differences
between the skull structures of different human races. There are differ-
ences in forehead structures, eyeholes, eyebrow projections and skull volumes between Pigmies and
British, Russians and Chinese, Aborigines and Inuit or Blacks and Japanese. Yet these differences do

not mean that one race has evolved from another or that any particular race is “more primitive” or
“more advanced” than any other.
As long as an Aborigine line does not mix up with another race, their features will always remain
the same. No matter how much time passes, these people will not evolve in such a way as to acquire
different features. They will not acquire skulls with bigger volumes or different anatomical features.
For instance, some Malaysian natives living today have the large eyebrow projections and the
foreheads that are inclined backwards—a feature peculiar to Homo erectus skulls, which evolutionists

call “primitive.” If the suggestions of evolutionists were true, then these Malaysian natives should
have the so-called structure and appearance of an under-developed man, who was recently evolved
from apes. However, this is by no means the case. The fact that some anatomical features of the Homo
erectus skull are also seen today reveals that H. erectus was not a primitive species, as well as the fact
that the evolutionist scenario of “man’s family tree” is simply a lie.
