Darwinist claim holds that man evolved from so-called ape-
                      like creatures. During this alleged evolutionary process,
                      which is supposed to have started 4-5 million years ago,
                      some "transitional forms" between man and his imaginary
                      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 ances-
                      tors 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 specimens 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 extinct and
                      bore no resemblance to humans. 24
                           Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolu-
                      tion 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 be-
                      tween these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the twenti-
                      eth century's most important evolutionists, contends in his
                      book One Long Argument that "particularly historical [puz-
                      zles] such as the origin of life or of  Homo sapiens, are ex-
                      tremely difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying ex-
                      planation." 25
