Evolution

tinct. 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. 80
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 be-
cause it has never been proved that there is an evolutionary relation
between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the twentieth cen-
tury'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." 81
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 pale-
oanthropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis,
and Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same
time. 82
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erec-
tus have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens nean-

darthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the
same region. 83
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim
that they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist from Harvard
University, Stephen Jay Gould, explains this deadlock of the theory of
