A skull fossil of Australopithecus species are

coded as OH-5
capacities are the same, or
smaller than the chimpanzees of
our day. There are projecting parts in their hands and feet which they used to
climb trees, just like today's chimpanzees, and their feet have grasping abilities
to hold on to the branches. Many characteristics such as the closeness of the eyes,
sharp molar teeth, mandibular structure, long arms, short legs, are evidence of
these creatures being no different from today's apes.
Evolutionists claim that although the Australopithecus species have the anatomy of an
ape, they walked upright like humans.
Extensive research done on various Australopithecus specimens by two world-renowned
anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles
Oxnard, has shown that these creatures were not bipedal and had the same sort of movement
as today's apes. Having studied the bones of these fossils for a period of 15 years, with
funding from the British government, Lord Zuckerman and his team of
5 specialists reached the conclusion – although Zuckerman was an
DART AND HIS CHILD
The first Australopithecus fossil was discovered by
evolutionist palaeontologist Raymond Dart. The
first specimen discovered by Dart was
named the "Taung Child". Dart had
suggested that this fossil, which belonged
to a very young individual, had "human-
like" features. Discoveries that were made
in the following years, however, showed
that the Australopithecus species definitely
had an ape's face.
