               A skull fossil of                                         Australopithecus species are
               Australopithecus                                          extinct apes that resemble the
                  bosei species
                                                                         apes of today. Their cranial
                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

                                                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.
