The Deception of Evolution
"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 dif-
ferent fossils of these creatures in a particular order. This scheme is
imaginary because it has never been proved that there is an evolu-
tionary 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 pale-
oanthropologists 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 nean-
darthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the
same region. 27
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 evolution, although he is an evolutionist himself:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages of ho-
minids (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"
with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human"
