Study Notes
The Fossil Evidence for Human Evolution
- There are no fossils of man-apes or ape-men, according to real fossil evidence and the Bible.
- Famous "ape-men" such as Neanderthal man, Java man, and Peking man have been presented as intermediate links between man and ape.
- Many textbook ape-men from a generation ago are no longer cited in modern textbooks.
- Nebraska man turned out to be a peccary, Piltdown man was a hoax, and the original Peking man and Java man were acknowledged as composite or redeposited.
- The original location of the Trinil fossils is uncertain, and there is a possibility that they were redeposited.
- The skull of the so-called Java man was suggested to have been murdered and eaten, and later accepted as a giant gibbon's skull.
- The dating of the Trinil fossils was found to be essentially meaningless.
- Fossils found since, from Africa to Australia, have been placed in the same category as Peking man and Java man, using the name Homo erectus for the entire group.
- Homo erectus fossils probably were all true men, with significantly different characteristics from existing tribes.
- The cranial capacity of Homo erectus was much less than the modern average, but still within the range of modern man.
- There is no evidence that individuals with smaller cranial capacities are any less intelligent than those with larger capacities.
- Ramapithecus, promoted as the first evolutionary stage in the line leading to man, has been rejected as evidence for human evolution.
