If Evolution is True and you Belive in the Orgins of Man... Then please
explain the following...
The Nebraska Man:
The "Nebraska man" was fabricated from one unusual-looking tooth
discovered in 1922. What this tooth was supposed to signify is depicted
in an artist's drawing published in the Illustrated London News of 1922
(reproduced by Brown on page 11). Nebraska man and his wife look
distinctly ape-like in the drawing, but they, nevertheless, faded away
after 1927, when it was demonstrated that the tooth belonged to an
extinct pig.
Ramapithecus:
"Ramapithecus," since 1978 is now known for certain to have been "just
an ape with no linkage to man." Brown (p. 50) quotes Roger Lewin in
Bones of Contention as remarking: "The dethroning of Ramapithecus -
from putative first human in 1961 to extinct relative of the orangutan
in 1982 - is one of the most fascinating, and bitter, sagas in the
search for human origins."
Australopithecines:
The "Australopithecines," which arose in the minds of anthropologists
from bones found in South Africa by Dr. Raymond Dart in 1924, were
imagined as being "large-jawed, small-brained, standing about four feet
tall and walking in approximately human fashion, not yet men but a
pre-human phase of hominid evolution." Brown (p. 11) cites recent
studies which indicate that they are an extinct species of apes which
did not walk upright or show any other human characteristics.
Java Man:
"Pithecanthropus erectus" ("Java man") was announced to an
international congress of zoologists by Eugene Dubois in 1895. It arose
in the researcher's imagination from a skullcap and a human thighbone
found 39 feet apart. Dubois did not tell the congress that he had found
in the same stratum two decidedly human skulls as well as parts of four
other thighbones of apes. After 42 years of notoriety, he finally
admitted in 1937 that "Java man" was just a large gibbon:
"Pithecanthropus was not a man, but a gigantic genus allied to the
Gibbons" (quoted by Brown on p. 51).
Piltdown Man:
The "Piltdown man" is now "universally acknowledged to have been a
hoax, and yet it was in textbooks for more than forty years" (Brown, p.
11). At Piltdown in England, Charles Dawson found during four years of
excavations from 1908 to 1912 a human skullcap and, nearby, a broken
lower jawbone which was ape-like except that its teeth showed human
wearing down. An important canine tooth was missing. In 1913 Teilhard
de Chardin found the canine tooth. In 1915 Dawson claimed a similar
find two miles distant. This ape-man, estimated to have lived 500,000
years ago, was unmasked after forty years when it was proved by tests
that the jawbone belonged to an ape that had just recently died and the
teeth had been filed down by modern hands as well as stained with
chemicals to make them look more ancient.
Peking Man:
"Sinanthropus" ("Peking man") was "discovered" by Dr. Davidson Black,
Dr. Pei, and others, beginning in 1927. From a molar tooth and a skull,
Black made a model according to his own imagination and the hopes of
the Rockefeller Foundation, which was providing a yearly grant of
$20,000 for the research. Father Patrick O'Connell, who was in China at
the time and who studied the results as minutely as possible, concluded
that Dr. Black had set out to produce a new species of ape-man from the
evidence of a single tooth, confident that "the public he had in view
would not be too exacting in demanding proofs." Teilhard de Chardin
was with Dr. Black as an observer and helped to build up the image. The
suspicious circumstances of the site (a human lime-quarry and kiln) and
the presence of human bones were not properly reported. The reality is
that they found modern human bones coexisting with the Peking Man.
Furthermore, the back of the skulls of the Peking Man were bashed in
with the contents drained out. All the evidence for this new species of
ape-man mysteriously disappeared in the 1940s. According to
O'Connell, the fraud of "Peking man" was discovered in France in the
1940s when all of the data regarding the case were carefully compared.
Brown summarizes the matter by noting that many experts today consider
these bones to have been the remains of monkeys which were consumed as
food by men working long ago at the lime quarry.
Neanderthal Man:
The "Neanderthal man" was for a century depicted by artists as stooped
and ape-like, based partly upon the remains of some individuals who had
been afflicted with bone diseases (arthritis). Recent studies show that
"Neanderthal man, Heidelberg man, and Cro-Magnon man were completely
human" and stood just as erect as modern men do (Brown, p. 11).
Brown (p. 51) summarizes the scientific value of these alleged
discoveries with a quote from W.R. Thompson in his Introduction to The
Origin of Species: "The success of Darwinism was accompanied by a
decline in scientific integrity. ... A striking example, which has only
recently come to light, is the alteration of the Piltdown skull so that
it could be used as evidence for the descent of man from the apes; but
even before then a similar instance of tinkering with evidence was
finally revealed by the discoverer of Pithecanthropus [Java man], who
admitted, many years after his sensational report, that he had found in
the same deposits bones that are definitely human."
As my dear friend, David Moore from "Moore on Life" has expressed
time and again about the "Origins of Man", which is appropriately
worth repeating now: "If you believe that man evolved, then
somebody's making a Monkey out of You!" This is precisely the
garbage that we have been spoon fed for years - without any public
outcry to the contrary.
