Evolutionists call man's so-called first ape-like ancestors
Australopithecus, which means "South African ape." These
living beings are actually nothing but an old ape species that
has become extinct. Extensive research done on various
Australopithecus specimens by two world famous

anatomists from England and the USA, namely, Lord Solly
Zuckerman and Prof. Charles Oxnard, shows that these apes
belonged to an ordinary ape species that became extinct and
bore no resemblance to humans. 51
Evolutionists classify the next stage of human evolution
as "homo," that is "man." According to their claim, the living
beings in the Homo series are more developed than

Australopithecus. Evolutionists devise a fanciful evolution
scheme by arranging different fossils of these creatures in a
particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has nev-
er been proved that there is an evolutionary relation between
these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of the twentieth cen-
tury's most important evolutionists, contends in his book One
Long Argument that "particularly historical [puzzles] such as
the origin of life or of Homo sapiens, are extremely difficult
and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 52

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 paleoanthropologists have revealed that
Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and Homo erectus lived at
