imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like
ancestors Australopithecus, which means "South
African ape." These living beings are actually nothing
but an old ape species that has become extinct.
Extensive research done on various Australopithecus
specimens by two world famous anatomists from
England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly Zuckerman
and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these apes
belonged to an ordinary ape species that became
extinct and bore no resemblance to humans. 14
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolu-
tion as "homo," that is "man." According to their claim,
the living beings in the Homo series are more developed
than Australopithecus. Evolutionists devise a fanciful
evolution scheme by arranging different fossils of these
creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary
because it has never been proved that there is an evo-
lutionary relation between these different classes. Ernst
Mayr, one of the twentieth century's most important
evolutionists, contends in his book One Long Argument
that "particularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of
life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult and may
even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 15
