The Deception of Evolution
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 fos-
sils of these creatures in a particular order. This scheme is imaginary because it has never been
proved that there is an evolutionary relation between these different classes. Ernst Mayr, one of
the twentieth century'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 extreme-
ly difficult and may even resist a final, satisfying explanation." 14
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 different parts of the world at the same time. 15
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus have lived up until very
modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis and Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man) co-ex-
isted in the same region. 16
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that they are ancestors of one
another. Stephen Jay Gould explained this deadlock of the theory of evolution although he was
himself one of the leading advocates of evolution in the twentieth century:
What has become of our ladder if there are three coexisting lineages of hominids (A. africanus,
the robust australopithecines, and H. habilis), none clearly derived from another? Moreover,
none of the three display any evolutionary trends during their tenure on earth. 17
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 course books,
that is, frankly, by means of propaganda, is nothing but a tale with no scientific foundation.
Piltdown Man, the first so-
called "ape-man", was dis-
played in museums and
adorned the covers of "sci-
entific" publications for 40
years before it emerged
that it was actually a hoax.
