What follows are examples usually given of transitional "ape-men" that "prove" the evolutionary theory. They ALL are without exception, fraudulent.
Java
Man
(Pithecanthropus) - In 1890, a skull cap, femur, and two molar teeth were
grouped together as belonging to the same person. The skull is that of an ape,
but the teeth and the femur bone of an human. What was not published was that
they were found 45 feet apart from each other, along with many other bones of
clearly apes, humans, and other animals. It was a grocery store of “parts”
to construct any animal you wanted! Java man has since been reclassified as
human.
Neanderthal
Man
(Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) - 1856, in Neanderthal, Germany, a skull
cap and limb bones were found. It was grouped with a set of skeletons found all
over Europe that had the following characteristics: prominent eyebrow ridges,
low forehead, long narrow brain case, protruding upper jaw, a strong lower jaw
lacking a chin. The overall skeletons were short, and stooped-over.
Anthropologists believed it to be a “missing link” between man and ape
because it seemed to have shuffled along when walking. However, 150 years later,
it is now admitted that these skeletons were of people that suffered from
rickets, and syphilis. Neanderthal Man was just a variation of the modern human
kind with disease!
The
Piltdown Man (Eoanthropus). In England, in 1912, a human
skull cap and an orangutan’s jaw were grouped together, along with a tooth as
a hoax to prove another so-called “missing link.” It was believed by the
scientific world for over 40 years until tested for age, only to find that the
tooth had been filed down to look human, and the jaw bone stained to look as old
as the skull cap.
The
Peking Man
- all the “evidence” of this ape-man was lost in World War II, and is not
available for examination.
The
Nebraska Man (Hesperopithecus) - an entire skeleton of
an ape-man was constructed based upon a single tooth of a supposed “missing
link.” The tooth was discovered to be of a rare pig found in Paraguay.
In 1922, Henry Osborn, the manager of New York’s American Museum of Natural
History, declared that he had found a fossil molar tooth. Many authorities
supported Osborn’s findings as a human ancestor. Just the fact that they made
such a judgment based on so scanty a piece of evidence is very telling.
Even experts are capable of fooling themselves, and their adherents. More
excavations were done at the site, the rest of the creature was found, and it
was determined instead to be tooth of extinct peccary (similar to a pig),
(Science, 1927, 66:579). Then to add to the evolutionary embarrassment, the
peccary (prosthennops) was later discovered alive in Paraguay by Ralph Wetzel,
(Science, 1975, 189:379).
Lucy
(Ramapithecus)
- once widely accepted as the direct ancestor of humans, it has now been
realised that this skeleton is merely an extinct type of orangutan - not an
early human.
And they call all this “SCIENCE?”
