Early Man Summary
When the evidence for the evolution of man is examined,
we see that it is more hype than substance.
Consider this:
MAN AND APE REMAIN DIFFERENT SPECIES:
When all is said and done the fossil evidence can be justifiably divided
into two buckets, man and beast.
The Australopithecines, (A. africanus, A. afarensis, A. robustus,
A. boisei, Lucy, etc.) are all apes.
Homo erectus and Neanderthal used tools and have brain sizes that
overlap with humans. One has to ask, what's the difference?
MAN AND APE LIVED AT SAME TIME AND PLACE:
Modern humans have existed for 4.5 million years
(by evolutionists reckoning), which is before the Australopithecines existed.
Modern Homo sapiens, Neanderthal, archaic Homo sapiens and Homo erectus
all lived as contemporaries at one time or another.
Looking at a timeline chart of these, all the supposed pre-man and apes
lived together.
And further, many of the fossils were found in the
same locality
and at the same stratigraphic level, but according to the theory of
evolution they should be separated by vast amounts of time (and therefore
appear at different levels in the Earth).
THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS NOT CONVERGING:
We see in the human origins business an unstability over time.
Instead of converging on a coherent pathway to man,
a single fossil find throws the entire picture into disarray.
In fact, it has even been suggested that apes evolved from man!
(Gish 1985, 207-209).
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
Fossils only record bone structure. What about the fact that apes have 48
chromosomes and man only 46? This is a significant difference
that is rarely mentioned.
Apes have a bacculum or os penis (a hard bone in the penis)
and man does not.
Given that this had to work right the first time to propagate
the race, how could such a change have occurred? (Taylor 1984, 254)
