Hominids
Evolutionists have created a family within their taxonomic system called Hominidae. In this family, they
include humans (Homo sapiens) and their fossil ancestors, and also, in recent systems, at least some of
the great apes. Throughout the last 170 years, various finds of skulls, partial skulls, jaw bones, and even
teeth have been acclaimed as the missing link between apes and man. Here is a list of hominids and
how old the evolutionists dated them:
Specimen Classification Assigned Age
Neanderthal Homo sapiens (man) 35 – 70 thousand years ago
Swanscombe Homo sapiens .25 - .6 MY (million years)
Pithecanthropus erectus ape - like .5 MY
Australopithecus africanus ape – like 4.4 MY
Zinjanthropus ape-like 1.75 MY
Skull 1470 man-like 2.8 MY
Ethiopian jaw man-like 3-4 MY
Castenedolo Homo sapiens 2 + MY
Do you see a problem? Notice that the apparent age of
the specimens doesn’t match the evolutionary tree. One
man-like skull and a jaw are dated older than some of the
ape-like specimens in the line of human evolution. If you
carefully examine the supposed “missing links” between
the evolution of apes to men, you basically come up with
two classifications. The fossil was a man or man-like, or
the fossil was an ape or ape-like.
Let’s
go
back
to
the
introduction, where there were models of busts of
various specimens that evolved from ape to man.
The only models that had reliable fossils to
support them were the first one, the ape, and the
last one, the man. Artists with amazing talents
and ingenious minds sculpted them from their
preconceived ideas about how man evolved from
an ape. Next time you go to the natural history
museum in your area, you may see an entire
display of an ape-man, demonstrating the
imaginative minds of those who deny the fact that
God created man on the 6 day of creation, fully
th
mature, and presented him with a wife so that he
could multiply and fill the earth.
