tures. During this alleged evolutionary process, which is supposed to
have started 4-5 million years ago, some "transitional forms" between
man and his imaginary ancestors are supposed to have existed.
According to this completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories"
are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
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, shows that these apes
belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and bore no
resemblance to humans. 86
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 crea-
tures 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 twentieth century's most impor-
tant evolutionists, contends in his book One Long Argument that "par-
ticularly historical [puzzles] such as the origin of life or of Homo sapi-
ens, are extremely difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying expla-
nation." 87
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. 88
