rudolfensis (or Homo habilis sensu lato for those who do not subscribe to the
taxonomic subdivision of "early Homo") should be removed from Homo. The
obvious taxonomic alternative, which is to transfer one or both of the taxa to
one of the existing early hominin genera, is not without problems, but we
recommend that, for the time being, both H. Habilis and H. Rudolfensis
should be transferred to the genus Australopithecus. 81
The conclusion of Wood and Collard corroborates the conclusion we
have maintained here:"Primitive human ancestors" do not exist in history.
Creatures that are alleged to be so are actually apes that ought to be as-
signed to the genus Australopithecus. The fossil record shows that there is
no evolutionary link between these extinct apes and Homo, i.e., human
species that suddenly appears in the fossil record.

Homo Erectus and Thereafter: Human Beings
According to the fanciful scheme suggested by evolutionists, the in-
ternal evolution of the Homo genus is as follows: First Homo erectus, then
so-called "archaic" Homo sapiens and Neanderthal man (Homo sapiens nean-
derthalensis), and finally, Cro-Magnon man (Homo sapiens sapiens). How-
ever all these classifications are really only variations and unique races in
the human family. The difference between them is no greater than the dif-
ference between an Inuit and an African or a pygmy and a European.
Let us first examine Homo erectus, which is referred to as the most prim-
itive human species. As the name implies, "Homo erectus" means "man who
walks upright". Evolutionists have had to separate these fossils from earlier
ones by adding the qualification of "erectness", because all the available Homo
erectus fossils are straight to an extent not observed in any of the australop-
ithecines or so-called Homo habilis specimens. There is no difference be-
tween the postcranial skeleton of today’s man and that of Homo erectus.
The primary reason for evolutionists' defining Homo erectus as "prim-
itive", is the cranial capacity of its skull (900-1,100 cc), which is smaller
than the average man of our day, and its thick eyebrow projections. How-
ever, there are many people living today in the world who have the same
cranial capacity as Homo erectus (pygmies, for instance) and other races
have protruding eyebrows (Native Australians, for instance).
It is a commonly agreed-upon fact that differences in cranial capacity
do not necessarily denote differences in intelligence or abilities. Intelli-
gence depends on the internal organisation of the brain, rather than on its
volume. 82
