pelvic bone, which was shattered into tiny fragments just millimeters in

size, in such a way as to show that it “could walk upright.” The sole rea-
son why the fossil concerned was chosen as the best suited candidate for
the fictitious scenario of human evolution is that the pelvic bone could be
reconstructed “as they wished” by Darwinist scientists. Darwinists did
what was needed for the sake of Darwinism and Ardi was shamelessly
presented to the world as an “upright monkey.” It was, without any
qualms, depicted as the greatest evidence for the myth of human evolu-

tion. But, like all the others , this furore was short-lived and the Darwinist
fraud was quickly exposed. And in the example of Ardi, directly through
statements by Darwinist scientists.
It is now time for them to apologise for Ardi.
William Jungers, the Darwinist departmental head of the anatom-
ic sciences department at the Stony Brook, Long Island medical center,
issued the following statement about the claims regarding Ardi being
“the ancestor of man:”
I think some of the things they said might have been for effect. 301

Tim White, a Darwinist from the University of California who
studied Ardi and suggested it represented a missing link in the fictitous
evolution of man, and his colleagues were forced to make the following
statement:
There are no apparent features sufficiently unique to warrant the exclu-
sion of Ar. ramidus as being ancestral to Australopithecus. 302
The fact that the pelvic bone, a collection of tiny fragments, and the

surrounding area were reconstructed according to Darwinist scientists’
preconceptions was openly expressed by other Darwinist scientists.
Jungers says this on the subject:
Maybe the pieces do fit together nicely, but the reality is they start out
with a very damaged specimen, and they end up with something very
similar to an australopithecine" (the group that includes "Lucy," the 3.2-
million-year-old Australopithecus as well as a 2.7-million-year-old
Paranthropus)... [Ardi] requires a lot of guesswork. 303
