138 THE EVIL CALLED MOCKERY

By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo habilis >
Homo erectus > Homo sapiens, evolutionists imply that each of these
species is one another's ancestor. However, recent findings of pale-
oanthropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis,
and Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same
time. 36
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erec-
tus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens nean-
darthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (man) co-existed in the
same region. 37
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one another. The late Stephen Jay Gould ex-
plained 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 coexisting lineages of
hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. ha-
bilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three
display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 38

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 sci-
entists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years
and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded,
despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such
family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
