THE TALE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION
               The subject most often brought up by advocates of the theory of
            evolution is the subject of the origin of man. The Darwinist claim holds
            that modern man evolved from ape-like creatures. During this alleged
            evolutionary process, which is supposed to have started 4-5 million
            years ago, some “transitional forms” between modern man and his an-
            cestors are supposed to have existed. According to this completely
            imaginary scenario, four basic “categories” are listed:
               1. Australopithecus
               2. Homo habilis
               3. Homo erectus
               4. Homo sapiens
               Evolutionists call man’s so-called first ape-like ancestors
            Australopithecus, which means “South African ape.” These living be-
            ings are actually nothing but an old ape species that has become ex-
            tinct. Extensive research done on various Australopithecus specimens
            by two world famous anatomists from England and the USA, namely,
            Lord Solly Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these
            apes belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and bore
            no resemblance to humans. 13
               Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution as “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 different fossils of these crea-
            tures 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 twentieth century’s most im-
            portant 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.” 14
