130 KNOWING THE TRUTH

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 different fossils of
these creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary because
it has never been proved that there is an evolutionary 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." 25
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. 26

Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo
erectus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens
neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (man) co-existed in the
same region. 27
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one another. The late Stephen Jay Gould
explained this deadlock of the theory of evolution although he was

himself one of the leading advocates of evolution in the twentieth
century:
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. 28
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld"
