However, recent findings of paleoanthropologists have
revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo
erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same
time. 15
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as
Homo erectus have lived up until very modern times.
Homo sapiens neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapi-
ens (modern man) co-existed in the same region. 16
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the
claim that they are ancestors of one another. Stephen Jay
Gould explained this deadlock of the theory of evolution
although he was himself one of the leading advocates of
evolution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexist-
ing lineages of hominids (A. africanus, the robust aus-
tralopithecines, and H. habilis), none clearly derived from
another? Moreover, none of the three display any evolu-
tionary trends during their tenure on earth. 17
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 media and
course books, that is, frankly, by means of propaganda, is
nothing but a tale with no scientific foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and
respected scientists in the U.K., who carried out research
on this subject for years and studied Australopithecus fos-
sils for 15 years, finally concluded, despite being an evolu-
tionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such family tree
branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
