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 dif-
ferent 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 twentieth century's most important evolutionists, contends
in his book One Long Argument that "particularly historical [puz-
zles] such as the origin of life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely
difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 44

By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo ha-
bilis > 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. 45
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo

erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens ne-
andarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (man) co-existed in
the same region. 46
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 twen-
tieth century:

What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting
lineages of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australop-
ithecines, and H. habilis), none clearly derived from another?
Moreover, none of the three display any evolutionary trends
during their tenure on earth. 47
