belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and
bore no resemblance to humans. 14
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 twen-
tieth 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
extremely difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying
explanation." 15
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 paleoanthropologists have revealed that
Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus lived at
different parts of the world at the same time. 16
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. 17
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
