A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE

portant point that needs to be clarified is that bipedalism is not an
evolutionary advantage. The way monkeys move is much easier,
faster, and more efficient than human's bipedal stride.
Human beings cannot move by jumping from tree to tree like a
chimpanzee, nor run at a speed of 125 kilometers (80 miles) per hour
like a cheetah. On the contrary, since we walk on two feet, we move
much more slowly on the ground. For the same reason, we are one of
the least protected of all species in nature. According to the logic of
the theory of evolution, monkeys should not have been inclined to
adopt a bipedal stride. Instead, humans should have become
quadrupedal in order to survive and become the fittest.
Another impasse for evolutionary claims is that bipedalism
does not serve Darwinism's "gradual development" model, which
constitutes the basis of evolution and requires that there should be a
"compound" stride between bipedalism and quadrupedalism.
However, with the computerized research he conducted in 1996, the
British anatomist Robin Crompton showed that such a compound
stride was not possible. Crompton reached the conclusion that a liv-
ing being can either walk upright, or on all fours. 29 Any type of "hy-
brid" stride between the two is impossible because it would involve

excessive energy consumption. Thus a half-bipedal being cannot
exist.
How did supposedly primitive beings develop intelligent so-
cial behavior? The answer, according to evolutionist nonsense, is
that by living in groups, they thus developed intelligent and social
behavior. Yet gorillas, chimpanzees, monkeys and many other ani-
mal species also live in groups or herds; and none of these has devel-
oped intelligent and social behavior in the way that humans have.
None of them have constructed monuments, taken any interest in as-
