By outlining the link chain as Australopithecus > Homo habilis > Ho-
mo 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. (Alan Walker, Science, vol. 207, 7 March 1980, p. 1103; A. J. Kel-
so, Physical Antropology, 1st ed., J. B. Lipincott Co., New York, 1970,
p. 221; M. D. Leakey, Olduvai Gorge, vol. 3, Cambridge University
Press, Cambridge, 1971, p. 272.)
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 (man) co-existed in the same
region. (Jeffrey Kluger, "Not So Extinct After All: The Primitive Homo
Erectus May Have Survived Long Enough To Coexist With Modern
Humans," Time, 23 December 1996)
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that

they are ancestors of one another. The late Stephen Jay Gould ex-
plained this deadlock of the theory of evolution although he was him-
self one of the leading advocates of evolution in the twentieth century:
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 evo-
lutionary trends during their tenure on earth. (S. J. Gould, Natural His-
tory, vol. 85, 1976, p. 30)

Put briefly, the scenario of human evolution, which is "upheld"
with the help of various drawings of some "half ape, half human" crea-
tures appearing in the media and course books, that is, frankly, by
means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific founda-
tion.

entists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years
