                                                  OF EVOLUTIONIST FRAUD






                                                A skull fragment
                                                showing that Homo
                                                erectus had a large
                                                brain.


                                                               A fossil bone
                                                               showing that

                           Peking Man                          Homo erectus
                                                               walked erect.





              longed to the same creature. For that reason the H. erectus fossils discov-
              ered in Africa gained increasing importance.
                   Examination of the Turkana Boy, the best-known of these H. erectus
              fossils discovered in Africa, revealed that there was no difference be-
              tween H. erectus and present-day Man.
                   Even the evolutionist paleontologist Richard Leakey stated that
              the difference between H. erectus and present-day Man goes no further
              than racial difference:
                   One would also see differences: in the shape of the skull, in the degree of protru-
                   sion of the face, the robustness of the brows and so on. These differences are
                   probably no more pronounced than we see today between the separate geo-
                   graphical races of modern humans. Such biological variation arises when pop-
                   ulations are geographically separated from each other for significant lengths of
                   time. 107
                   Professor William Laughlin of University of Connecticut spent
              years performing anatomical research on the Inuit (formerly known as
              Eskimos) and the people of the Aleutian Islands, and saw that these
