The Tale of Human Evolution

The subject most often brought up by the advocates of the

theory of evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist

claim holds that modern men of today evolved from some kind of ape-

like creatures. During this alleged evolutionary process, which is

supposed to have started 4-5 million years ago, it is claimed that there

existed some "transitional forms" between modern man and his

ancestors. According to this imaginary scenario, four basic

"categories" are listed:

1) Australopithecus

2) Homo habilis

3) Homo erectus

4) Homo sapiens
