Evolutionists maintain that some 30-40,000 years ago in
Europe, and in an earlier period in Africa, so-called ape-like humans

beings. This is because archaeological findings from that period offer
significant evidence that the theory of evolution cannot explain.
According to Darwinist claims, the technology of stone implements,
which had remained unchanged for almost 200,000 years, was sud-
