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 paleoanthropolo-
gists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus
lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 15
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. 16
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
they are ancestors of one another. A paleontologist from Harvard
University, 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 hominids (A. africanus, the robust australopithecines, and H. ha-
bilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover, none of the
three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on
earth. 17
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.
Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected sci-
entists in the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years
and studied Australopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded, de-
spite being an evolutionist himself, that there is, in fact, no such family
tree branching out from ape-like creatures to man.
Zuckerman also made an interesting “spectrum of science” ranging
from those he considered scientific to those he considered unscientific.
According to Zuckerman’s spectrum, the most “scientific”—that is,
