evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds
that the modern men of today evolved from some kind of ape-like
creatures. During this alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to
have started 4-5 million years ago, it is claimed that there existed some
"transitional forms" between modern man and his ancestors. According to
this completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call the so-called first ape-like ancestors of men

"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, has shown that these belonged to
an ordinary ape species that became extinct and bore no resemblance to
humans. 46
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as "homo,"
that is "man." According to the evolutionist 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 evolutionary relation between these
different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the foremost defenders of the theory
of evolution in the 20th century, admits this fact by saying that "the chain
reaching as far as Homo sapiens is actually lost." 47

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 paleoan-
thropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis and
Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 48
