112 THE EVOLUTION DECEIT
700 THOU SAND YEAR OLD MAR I NERS
"Early humans were much smarter than we suspected..."
News published in New Scientist on March 14th 1998 tells us that the humans called
Homo Erectus by evolutionists were practicing seamanship 700 thousand years ago.
These humans, who had enough knowledge and technology to build a vessel and
possess a culture that made use of sea transport, can hardly be called "primitive".
The fossils that have made Homo erectus known to the entire world are
those of Peking man and Java man in Asia. However, in time it was realised
that these two fossils are not reliable. Peking Man consists of some elements
made of plaster whose originals have been lost, and Java Man is "composed"
of a skull fragment plus a pelvic bone that was found metres away from it
with no indication that these belonged to the same creature. This is why the
Homo erectus fossils found in Africa have gained such increasing importance.
(It should also be noted that some of the fossils said to be Homo erectus were
included under a second species named "Homo ergaster" by some evolu-
tionists. There is disagreement among the experts on this issue. We will treat
all these fossils under the classification of Homo erectus)
The most famous of the Homo erectus specimens found in Africa is the
fossil of "Narikotome Homo erectus" or the "Turkana Boy" which was found
near Lake Turkana in Kenya. It is confirmed that the fossil was that of a 12-
year-old boy, who would have been 1.83 meters tall in adolescence. The
upright skeletal structure of the fossil is no different from that of contem-
porary man. The American paleoanthropologist Alan Walker said that he
doubted that "the average pathologist could tell the difference between the
fossil skeleton and that of a modern human." 83 Concerning the skull,
Walker wrote that he laughed when he saw it because "it looked so much
