130 CONFESSIONS OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS

Louise Robbins is the anthropologist who worked closely with

Mary Leakey on the Laetoli project:
The arch is raised-the smaller individual had a higher arch than I do-and
the big toe is large and aligned with the second toe... The toes grip the
ground like human toes. You do not see this in other animal forms. 330

Russell H. Tuttle is professor of anthropology at the University of
Chicago:
A small barefoot Homo sapiens could have made them... In all discernible
morphological features, the feet of the individuals that made the trails are
indistinguishable from those of modern humans. 331
In sum, the 3.5 million-year-old footprint traits at Laetoli site G resemble
those of habitually unshod modern humans. None of their features sug-
gest that the Laetoli hominids were less capable bipeds than we are. If the
G footprints were not known to be so old, we would readily conclude that
there were made by a member of our genus Homo... In any case, we
should shelve the loose assumption that the Laetoli footprints were made
by Lucy's kind, Australopithecus afarensis. 332
Elaine Morgan is an evolutionist writer and researcher for docu-
mentary television in Britain:

Four of the most outstanding mysteries about humans are: 1) Why do
they walk on two legs? 2) why have they lost their fur? 3) why have they
developed such large brains? 4) why did they learn to speak?

The orthodox answers to these questions are: 1) "We do not yet know"; 2)
"We do not yet know"; 3) "We do not yet know"; 4) "We do not yet know."
The list of questions could be considerably lengthened without affecting
the monotony of the answers. 333
Lord Solly Zuckerman is professor of anatomy at Birmingham

University and chief scientific adviser to the British government:
We then move right off the register of objective truth into those fields of
presumed biological science, like extrasensory perception or the interpre-
tation of man's fossil history, where to the faithful, anything is possible-
and where the ardent believer is sometimes able to believe several con-
tradictory things at the same time. 334
