belonged to an ordinary ape species
that became extinct and bore no

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 Aus-
tralopithecus. Evolutionists devise a

fanciful evolution scheme by arrang-
ing different fossils 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 extremely difficult and may even resist a final,
satisfying explanation." 156
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 paleoan-
thropologists have revealed that Australopithecus, Homo habilis, and
Homo erectus lived at different parts of the world at the same time. 157
Moreover, a certain segment of humans classified as Homo erectus

have lived up until very modern times. Homo sapiens neandarthalensis
and Homo sapiens sapiens (present-day man) co-existed in the same
region. 158
This situation apparently indicates the invalidity of the claim that
