JANNAH:
The Garden from
the Qur’an and Hadith

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 paleoanthropologists have
revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus lived at dif-
ferent parts of the world at the same time. 16
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus
have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis
and Homo sapiens sapiens co-existed in the same region. 17
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that they

are ancestors of one another. The late 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 coexisting lineages of ho-
minids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none
clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three display any evo-
lutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 18

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld" with
the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human" creatures ap-
pearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly, by means of pro-
paganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific foundation.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected scien-
tists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years and stud-
ied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded, despite being

an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such family tree branch-
ing out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of science" ranging
from those he considered scientific to those he considered unscientific.
According to Zuckerman's spectrum, the most "scientific"—that is, de-
