The Evolution Deceit
vise 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 foremost defenders of the theory
of evolution in the 20th century, admits this fact by saying that "the chain
reaching as far as Homo sapiens is actually lost." 33
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 paleoan-
thropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis and Ho-
mo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 34
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus
have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis
and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-existed in the same region. 35
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist from Harvard Univer-
sity, 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 hom-
inids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none
clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three display any evo-
lutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 36
Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is sought to be
upheld with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human"
creatures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly, by
means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific ground.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected scien-
tists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years, and
particularly studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally conclud-
ed, despite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such
family tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
