A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

He'll conclude, based on those fragments of bone, that the living
people they belonged to were only semi-upright and grunting, cov-
ered in hair and using crude stone tools—not because that is what
scientific evidence suggests, but because his ideology requires it.
Actually, the facts obtained do not imply such a scenario at all. This
illusory picture comes about through interpretations by a Darwinist
mentality.
Currently, the archaeologists who make detailed interpreta-
tions about the period in question based on fossil remains, carved
stone or paintings on cave walls, are scarcely different from the
above example. Yet evolutionists still write about pretty nearly all
aspects in the life of so-called primitive man on the basis of a preju-
diced analysis of the evidence. Their fanciful descriptions and illus-
trations still adorn the pages of many magazines and newspapers.
Here is one of the scenarios created by Louis Leakey, one of the
best-known contemporary evolutionists, on the daily life of so-called
primitive man:

Let us for a moment imagine that we can stand back and observe the
sequence of events at a rock-shelter some twenty or thirty thousand
years ago.
A Stone Age hunter is wandering down the valley in search of game
when he espies a rock-shelter in the side of the rocky cliff above him.
Carefully, and with the utmost caution, he climbs up to it, fearful lest
he may find that it is occupied by the members of some other Stone
Age family who will resent his intrusion, or possibly even that it is the
lair of a lion or a cave bear. At last he is close enough, and he sees that
it is quite unoccupied, and so he enters and makes a thorough exami-
nation. He decides that it is a much more suitable habitation than the
little shelter where he and his family are living at present, and he goes
off to fetch them.
