                                 The Evolution Misconception

              different 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 (modern
              man) co-existed in the same region. 17
                  This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the
              claim that they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist
              from Harvard University, Stephen Jay Gould, explains this
              deadlock of the theory of evolution although he is an
              evolutionist himself:
                 What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages

                 of hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H.
                 habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the
                 three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on
                 earth. 18
                  Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is
              sought to be upheld with the help of various drawings of
              some "half ape, half human" creatures appearing in the
              media and course books, that is, frankly, by means of
              propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific ground.
                  Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and
              respected scientists in the U.K., who carried out research on
              this subject for years, and particularly studied
              Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded,
              despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no
              such family tree branching out from ape-like creatures
              to man.

                  Zuckerman also made an interesting "spectrum of
              science." He formed a spectrum of sciences ranging from
