Species Living in the Same Age as Their Ancestors
What we have investigated so far forms a clear picture: The scenario
of "human evolution" is a complete fiction. In order for such a family tree
to represent the truth, a gradual evolution from ape to man must have
taken place and a fossil record of this process should be able to be found.
In fact, however, there is a huge gap between apes and humans. Skeletal
structures, cranial capacities, and such criteria as walking upright or bent
sharply forward distinguish humans from apes. (We already mentioned
that on the basis of recent research done in 1994 on the inner ear, Australo-
pithecus and Homo habilis were reclassified as apes, while Homo erectus was
reclassified as a fully modern human.)
Another significant finding proving that there can be no family-tree
relationship among these different species is that species that are pre-
sented as ancestors of others in fact lived concurrently. If, as evolutionists
claim, Australopithecus changed into Homo habilis, which, in turn, turned
into Homo erectus, the periods they lived in should necessarily have fol-
lowed each other. However, there is no such chronological order to be seen
in the fossil record.
According to evolutionist estimates, Australopithecus lived from 4 mil-
lion up until 1 million years ago. The creatures classified as Homo habilis,
on the other hand, are thought to have lived until 1.7 to 1.9 million years
ago. Homo rudolfensis, which is said to have been more "advanced" than
Homo habilis, is known to be as old as from 2.5 to 2.8 million years! That is
to say, Homo rudolfensis is nearly 1 million years older than Homo habilis, of
which it is alleged to have been the "ancestor". On the other hand, the age
of Homo erectus goes as far back as 1.6-1.8 million years ago, which means
that Homo erectus appeared on the earth in the same time frame as its so-
called ancestor, Homo habilis.
Alan Walker confirms this fact by stating that "there is evidence from
East Africa for late-surviving small Australopithecus individuals that
were contemporaneous first with H. Habilis, then with H. erec-
tus." Louis Leakey has found fossils of Australopithecus, Homo habilis and
89
Homo erectus almost next to each other in the Olduvai Gorge region of Tan-
zania, in the Bed II layer. 90
There is definitely no such family tree. Stephen Jay Gould, who was a
paleontologist from Harvard University, explained this deadlock faced by
