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 speci-
mens 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 ex-
tinct and bore no resemblance to humans. 14
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 evolu-
tionary 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 [puzzles]
such as the origin of life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult

and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation.” 15
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 different parts of the world at the
same time. 16

Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo
