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. 80
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution 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 twen-
tieth century's most important evolutionists, contends in his book One Long
Argument that "particularly histori-
cal [puzzles] such as the origin of
life or of Homo sapiens, are ex-
tremely difficult and may even re-
sist a final, satisfying explanation." 81
By outlining the link chain as
Australopithecus > Homo habilis >
Homo erectus > Homo sapiens, evolution-
ists imply that each of these species is one an-
other's ancestor. However, recent findings of
FALSE
paleoanthropologists have revealed that
Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo FALSE
erectus lived at different parts of the world at
the same time. 82
Moreover, a certain segment of humans
classified as Homo erectus have lived up

Evolutionist newspapers and maga-
zines often print pictures of primitive
man. The only available source for
these pictures is the imagination of
the artist. Evolutionary theory has been
so dented by scientific data that today
we see less and less of it in the serious
press.
