The Dmanisi fossils show much more variation than we would have expected
from any group of humans at that time. 187
These were not the only evolutionists to offer different interpreta-
tions of these fossils. Eric Delson of The City University of New York,
Alan Walker of Pennsylvania State University and Milford H. Wolpoff
of University of Michigan have also offered totally incompatible views
regarding them.
Since the theory of evolution has no scientific foundations and is
kept alive by means of fictitious scenarios and propaganda techniques,
it is equally impossible to find any fossil that might support it.
Darwinists have written an imaginary natural history and have sought
to fit fossils into that. Yet the exact opposite actually happened, with
each new fossil discovery placing the theory into an ever deeper
quandary.

In 1912, Charles Dawson—a well-known doctor and at the same
time an amateur paleontologist—claimed to have discovered a jawbone
and a skull fragment in a hollow near Piltdown in England. Although
the jawbone resembled that of a monkey, the teeth and skull resembled
those of human beings. These specimens were given the name
“Piltdown Man,” an age of 500,000 years was calculated for them, and
they were exhibited in various museums as definitive proof of so-called
human evolution. For some 40 years, a great many articles were written
about them, and comments and drawings made. More than 500 acade-
mics from various universities in the world wrote doctoral thesis on the
subject of Piltdown Man. 188 The well-known American palaeo-anthro-
pologist H. F. Osborn made the following comment on a visit to the
British Museum in 1935: “ . . . Nature is full of paradoxes . . . a discovery
