THE SOLUTION TO SECRET SORROWS

million years ago, some "transitional forms" between modern man
and his ancestors are supposed to have existed. According to this
completely imaginary scenario, four basic "categories" are listed:
1. Australopithecus
2. Homo habilis
3. Homo erectus
4. Homo sapiens
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. 13
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." 14
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 paleoan-
thropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and
Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 15
