another's ancestor. However, recent findings of paleoanthropologists have
revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus lived at differ-
ent parts of the world at the same time. 16
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus
have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis
and Homo sapiens sapiens (present-day man) co-existed in the same
region. 17
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that they
are ancestors of one another. The late Stephen Jay Gould explained this
deadlock of the theory of evolution although he was himself one of the lead-
ing advocates of evolution 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 evolu-
tionary trends during their
tenure on earth. 18
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 E

Evolutionary theory has been so dented
by scientific data that today we see less
