Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus have

lived up until very modern times. Homo erectus and Homo sapiens co-exist-
ed in the same region and era. (Jeffrey Kluger, "Not So Extinct After All,"

Time, 24 June 2001).

This situation indicates the invalidity of the claim that they are ancestors

of one another. The late Stephen Jay Gould explained this deadlock of the the-
ory of evolution, although he was himself one of the leading advocates of evo-

lution 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 clear-

ly derived from another? Moreover, none of the three display any evolutionary
trends during their tenure on earth. (S. J. Gould, Natural History, 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" creatures appearing

in the media and textbooks, that is, frankly, propaganda, is nothing but a tale
with no scientific foundation.

Lord Solly Zuckerman, one of the most famous and respected scientists in

the U.K., who carried out research on this subject for years and studied Aus-

tralopithecus fossils for 15 years, finally concluded, despite being an evolu-
tionist 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, depending on con-
crete data – fields of science are chemistry and physics. After them come the

biological sciences and then the social sciences. At the far end of the spectrum,
which is the part considered to be most "unscientific", are "extra-sensory per-

ception" – concepts such as telepathy and a sixth sense – and finally "human
evolution". Zuckerman explains his reasoning:
