Australopithecines. Their comparative anatomical research showed that
the species had the same forearm structure as those of present-day
monkeys that walk on four limbs. 46
All this evidence reveals that Australopithecines were nothing more
than species of ape. Indeed, the evolutionist anthropologists who dis-
covered Lucy, Donald Johanson and T. D. White, issued the following

statement in Science magazine:
Fossils of Australopithecus have been studied in painstaking detail: their
manner of walking, the structure of their ear, pattern of tooth develop-
ment, their long and powerful forearms, short hind limbs, structure of
their feet, small sized brains, and very ape- like skulls, jaws, and faces.
These prove that Australopithecus was an ape and no way related to man.
Donald Johanson himself, the discoverer of Lucy, later concluded that
Australophitecus africanus (Lucy) was not related to humans at all. 47

In summary, scientific research has refuted all the claims suggest-
ing that Australopithecines were the forerunners of human beings.
They were all species of apes, and to equate them with human beings
is a scenario utilized by Darwinists for the sake of their fictitious and
false theories.

11. The Claim That “Neanderthals Are the Ape-Like
Ancestors of Man” Is Fraudulent
Darwinists employed the same technique they used with
Australopithecus for the Neanderthals, an extinct human race.

Neanderthal Man entered the scientific literature with the discov-
ery in 1856 of fossils in the Neander Valley near the German city of
Düsseldorf. The curvatures in its skull and bones led it to being regard-
ed by evolutionists as a supposed primitive human species.
In 1908, an almost complete skeleton described as belonging to
Neanderthal Man was found in the French region of La Chapelle-aux-
