The Misconception of Evolution

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 most important proponents of the theory of evolution in the 131
20th century, 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." 30
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. 31
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. 32
This situation
apparently indicates the
invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one
another. A paleontologist from
