The Tale of Human Evolution

The subject most often brought up by advocates of the
theory of evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The
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 "tran-

4. Homo sapiens
Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These liv-

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. 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
