Hoax Gallery
Pre-Human Ancestry?
This is worse than the Gold Rush.
Everyone is desperate for fame and acclaim.
Or coverage in National Geographic.
Or at least five minutes on the Discovery Channel.
So just how many fossil
hoaxes have we had to endure since Darwin’s
publication in 1859? Here we present only some of
the most well known examples, ones which most
people would have undoubtedly heard about in
school. The actual list of known or currently
contested hoaxes is much longer (see web links
below).
Neanderthal Man
Known as a cave-dwelling, ape-like
creature with arms hanging low, Neanderthal
Man is fully human. Even some evolutionists
believe that characteristics of Neanderthals
indicate old age, not a pre-human
transitional form. Unfortunately, millions of
people have grown up with the notion that the
evolutionists were really onto something.
This was aided by the fact that many
Neanderthal specimens had been intentionally
reconstructed to make them look other than
human.
Cro-Magnon Man
Like the Neanderthals, this was
another fossil jackpot in Europe, except
these people showed a penchant for art,
judging from drawings they made inside their
cave dwellings. The features of Cro-Magnon
skulls show virtually no characteristics that
markedly set them apart from humans. Many
evolutionists do not know what to make of
them. Can we just concede they are in fact
humans and move on?
Piltdown Man
This was a deliberate hoax in
England, enacted by one or more evolutionists
(including Jesuit priest Teilhard de Chardin)
in which a human skull was combined with the
jaw of an ape and hallmarked in museums for
decades in the early 1900s. With such a
deliberate phony as this one, why didn't
society catch on sooner to the desperation
that exists to prove a pre-human ancestry?
Inspite of this hallmark scam, people keep
searching and searching, in vain.
Lucy
This fossil alone is perhaps the
best known "proof of pre-human ancestry"
and the most widely touted among the general
public. Nevertheless, many scientists concede
this small frame was possibly a member of the
chimpanzee family; some claim that Lucy's
species may still be alive today. One
controversy surrounding Lucy is whether she
was bipedal or walked on all fours. Either
way, there is no forceful argument to
indicate Lucy was a pre-human ancestor, it is
simply postulated she was a human forerunner
by those who believe she was. Of interest,
Lucy's discoverer, Dr. Donald Johanson, seems
to have had some motivation and pressure to
come up with a missing link or else lose his
funding.
A hundred years from now,
are all the "proofs" and missing links
that evolutionists cling to today going to end up
in this gallery as well? At the rate we've been
going, it seems the answer will probably be
"yes". Quit monkeying with the evidence!
