One of the first frauds in the history of Darwinism, known as “recapitulation theory,” and heralded as undeniable “proof of evolution,” was an idea proposed and propagated by a racist eugenicist Professor named Ernst Haeckel in the late 19th century. A contemporary and friend of Charles Darwin and Thomas “Bulldog” Huxley, Haeckel postulated that human (and other animal) embryos experience a miniature form of the entire evolutionary impulse during their development in the womb, displaying first characteristics of fish, then reptile, and lastly mammalian or human. It has long been eliminated from scientific literature, but many people and popular sources still unknowingly quote and believe in Haeckel’s fraudulent work. Several popular magazines and school textbooks as recently as the 1990s, over a century after being exposed, were still publishing Haeckel’s hoaxed pictures and recapitulation theory as science fact!
“It
has since been proven that this theory is completely bogus. It is now known that the ‘gills’ that
supposedly appear in the early stages of the human embryo are in fact the
initial phases of the middle-ear canal, parathyroid, and thymus. The part of the embryo that was likened to
the ‘egg yolk pouch’ turns out to be a pouch that produces blood for the
infant. The part that had been
identified as a ‘tail’ by Haeckel and his followers is in fact the backbone, which
resembles a tail only because it takes shape before the legs do. Another interesting aspect of
‘recapitulation’ was Ernst Haeckel himself, a faker who falsified his drawings
in order to support the theory he advanced.
Haeckel’s forgeries purported to show that fish and human embryos resembled
one another. When he was caught out, the
only defense he offered was that other evolutionists had committed similar
offences!” -Harun Yahya, “The
Evolution
Deceit” (199-200)
What
an admission! Not only did Haeckel
confess his own forgeries, but he admitted that there were hundreds of other
scientific fraudsters similarly doctoring findings in the best biological
textbooks, treatises and journals (several of which will be examined in this
chapter). As it turns out, Haeckel had
simply copied and printed the same human embryo pictures several times over
claiming each were various other animal embryos with exact parallels, when in
fact the parallels do not exist, and the pictures were copies he knowingly and
intentionally made to suit his recapitulation idea.
“To
support his theory, Haeckel, whose knowledge of embryology was self-taught,
faked some of his evidence. He not only
altered his illustrations of embryos but also printed the same plate of an
embryo three times, and labeled one a human, the second a dog and the third a
rabbit ‘to show their similarity.’”
-Malcolm Bowden, “Ape-Men: Fact or Fallacy?”
“This is one of the worst cases of scientific fraud. It’s shocking to find that somebody one
thought was a great scientist was deliberately misleading. It makes me angry … What Haeckel did was to
take a human embryo and copy it, pretending that the salamander and the pig and
all the others looked the same at the same stage of development. They don’t … These are fakes.” -Dr. Michael Richardson, The Times London,
Aug. 11, 1997
For the past 150 years, evolutionist scientists have been
working diligently to propagandize the public into believing that modern humans
are descended from ancient apes. The
final and most difficult theoretical leap for the theory of evolution is this
supposed million-year transition from ape to human. The utter impossibility of “evolving”
abilities like bipedality, erect spinal columns, and complex linguistic skills
has been debated since the theory was first presented, but such obstacles will
never stop die-hard evolutionists set on discovering (or inventing!) a
believable monkey-man transitional species.
The
first of these convenient evolutionary “discoveries” was the “Neanderthal Man”
found in the Neander Valley of Germany in 1856, just in time for the release of
Darwin’s Origin of Species. To this day,
reconstructed drawings of hairy ape-like “Neanderthal” men are depicted in
scholarly journals and school textbooks and claimed to be a missing
evolutionary link. The fact is, however,
that all so-called Neanderthal remains have never been shown to be any more
different from modern humans than an Asian from a Caucasian, or an Inuit from
an Aborigine. Also the skull size shows
its brain was actually 13% larger than the average brain of modern man, making
it impossible to be an intermediary between man and ape. Even Time magazine in 1971 proclaimed the primitiveness
of Neanderthal to be unwarranted, that he could walk the street today
unrecognized, one writer even commenting that historians of the future may “declare
us all insane for not detecting and refuting
this incredible blunder with adequate determination.”
One
of the main proponents pushing Neanderthal Man as an authentic species nowadays
is Reiner Protsch, a German professor who dated the fossils at 36,000 years old
allowing them to fit perfectly in the evolutionist’s timeline. In 2005, however, Protsch was forced to
retire in disgrace by a panel of Frankfurt University heads who determined he
had “fabricated data and plagiarized the work of his colleagues over the
past 30 years.” The once-renowned
“carbon-dating expert” has presently been completely ostracized from the
scientific community. It has since been
determined that all Neanderthal skeletal remains are no more than a few
thousand years old, some only a few hundred!
They have also found modern human DNA in the bones, that their brain capacity
was 13% larger than the modern average, their height 5’9” comparable to our
average, and they had advanced tools, buried their dead and enjoyed art!
University
of Berlin Professor Rudolf Virchow, Ernst Haeckel’s former professor and the
“father of modern pathology” back in 1872 concluded the original “Neanderthal” remains
were simply that of an unfortunate homo sapiens who had suffered childhood
rickets, adult arthritis, and was victim to several damaging blows to the
head. Erik Trinkaus, a paleoanthropologist
from New Mexico University concluded his examination stating, “Detailed
comparisons of Neanderthal skeletal remains with those of modern humans have
shown that there is nothing in Neanderthal anatomy that conclusively indicates
locomotor, manipulative, intellectual, or linguistic abilities inferior to
those of modern humans.”
In 1891-92, the next ape-man “discovery” was found in Java, Indonesia
by Eugene Dubois, who “coincidentally” happened to be a student and apprentice
of evolutionist hoaxster Ernst Haeckel! Dubois
found a skullcap, a leg bone, a jaw fragment and three teeth, from which was
reconstructed the ape-like “Java Man.” Within
10 years of its discovery, Java Man was the main subject of over 80 evolution books
and articles. It was given the
“scientific name,” of “Anthropopithecus erectus,” and later changed to
“Pithecanthropus erectus” and finally “Homo erectus” undoubtedly for
super-official pseudo-scientific reasons.
“Java
man was discovered by a Dutchman. I’m a
little embarrassed by that because I’m a Dutchman myself. His name was Eugene Dubois. The bones were found in 1891-92 on the
Indonesian Island of Java in Southeast Asia along the banks of the Solo
River. And there was an interesting
assortment. He found a leg bone, a
skullcap, a jaw fragment and three teeth.
And that’s what he concocted Java man from. Interestingly enough some of the teeth were
old and some young. The bones belonged
to ape, female and male. It was an interesting
conglomeration and the reason that people didn’t catch on to it is because the
find of Dubois was kept from scholars for about 30 years. He also withheld the discovery of modern
human remains, which were found in the same stratum as Java man. Of course, that would have ruined his claims
that Java man was the ancestor of modern day humans. Finally, enough pressure was placed on him
that the actual bones were allowed to be examined and the discrepancies were
found. And eventually, enlightened America
as well as the world found out that this was a hoax. Unfortuantely hoaxes die hard. [Recently] Time
Magazine ran a cover story entitled “How Man Became Man” and starts off
ridiculing Christians and Creationists then goes on to present Java man as though
it were fact.” -Hank Hanegraaff,
“The Face that Demonstrates the Farce of Evolution”
“Java Man’s” teeth were found to be of different ages and
the bones a mixture of human and ape, with a giant gibbon skull! Rudolph Virchow, Haeckel’s own professor and the
foremost pathology expert of his time stated, “In my opinion this creature
was an animal, a giant gibbon, in fact.
And the thigh bone has not the slightest connection with the skull.” He and many others have concluded the thigh bone
is quite clearly human while the skullcap and teeth belonged to a
primate.
In 1912 a doctor and
paleo-anthropologist named Charles Dawson claimed to have found a jawbone and
cranial fragment of an ape-man transitional form in a pit in Piltdown,
England. It was alleged to be 500,000
years old and was displayed as absolute proof of human evolution in museums
across the world. For the next 40 years,
scores of “scientific” articles, artist reconstructions, and over 500 doctoral
theses were written about “Piltdown man.”
Objections and criticisms were raised immediately by contemporaries like
Arthur Keith but managed to be mitigated by Dawson until 1953 when tests proved
conclusively that the Piltdown skull was actually human and only a few hundred
years old, while the lower protruding jaw was from a recently deceased
orangutan!
Investigators found that Dawson had artificially worn down
the orangutan jaw, and that the “primitive tools” discovered alongside the
fossils were imitations Dawson had sharpened with steel implements! Dawson also filled the molar surfaces of the
teeth to more resemble those of man, and stained all the fossils with potassium
dichromate to give them an antiquated appearance. The stains quickly disappeared when dipped in
acid however. Wilfred Le Gros Clark, a
member of Joseph Weiner’s team who uncovered the forgery, stated that, “the
evidences of artificial abrasion immediately sprang to the eye. Indeed so obvious did they seem it may well
be asked, how was it that they had escaped notice before?” Within days, Piltdown man was removed from
the British Museum where it had been on display for four decades.
Since conclusively being proven a hoax in 1953 many of
Dawson’s other paleontological “finds” have also proven to be fakes or
planted. In 2003, Dr. Miles Russell of
Bournemouth University published the results of an investigation into Dawson’s
antiquarian collection concluding that at least 38 specimens were clear fakes, noting
that “Dawson’s entire academic career appears to have been built upon
deceit, sleight of hand, fraud and deception, the ultimate gain being
international recognition.”
The next fraudulent attempt at creating and propagating a
supposed ape-man transitional form was carried out in 1922 by Henry Fairfield
Osborn. Co-founder of the American
Eugenics Society, President of the White Supremacist Pioneer Fund and director
of the American Museum of Natural History, Osborn declared that he had been
sent an anomalous tooth found in Snake Brook, Nebraska, which had
characteristics of both ape and man! He
determined that it came from the Pliocene period of ancient history, from the
transitional species “Pithecanthropus erectus,” and affectionately labeled the
tooth’s owner “Nebraska Man.”
“Nebraska man was also immediately given a ‘scientific name,’
Hesperopithecus haroldcooki. Many
authorities gave Osborn their support.
Based on this single tooth, reconstructions of the Nebraska man’s head
and body were drawn. Moreover, Nebraska
man was even pictured along with his wife and children, as a whole family in a
natural setting.” -Harun Yahya, “The
Evolution Deceit” (95)
Once
“Nebraska Man” made the media rounds of popular publications and the pliable
public was sufficiently propagandized, the story disappeared until 1928 when
William Bryan and William Gregory had the opportunity to independently examine
the tooth. Their investigations both
conclusively found that the tooth did not belong to a man or ape, but was
actually from an extinct species of wild American pig called Presthennops! After William Gregory published his article,
“Hesperopithecus: Apparently Not an Ape Nor a Man,” in Science magazine all
drawings and models of “Nebraska Man” and his “family” were quickly removed
from evolutionist publications.
Henry Osborn himself was forced to concede that Nebraska
Man, “Hesperopithecus haroldcooki,” the supposed example of the “Pliocene
Pithecanthropus erectus” and his whole imaginary family were completely
fictional fabrications. He never
admitted to intentional fraud (and why would he?), but as an ardent
evolutionist, eugenicist and white supremacist, a level of confirmation bias
was likely. Osborn was even such a
sadistic racist that he was quoted during a national debate unabashedly saying
of WWI Army intelligence tests that; “I believe those tests were worth what
the war cost, even in human life … We have learned once and for all that the
Negro is not like us.”
“After Darwin advanced the claim with his book The Descent of Man
that man evolved from ape-like living beings, he started to seek fossils to
support this contention. However, some
evolutionists believed that ‘half-man half-ape’ creatures were to be found not
only in the fossil record, but also alive in various parts of the world. In the early 20th century, these pursuits for
‘living transitional links’ led to unfortunate incidents, one of the cruelest
of which is the story of a Pygmy by the name of Ota Benga. Ota Benga was captured in 1904 by an
evolutionist researcher in the Congo. In
his own tongue, his name meant ‘friend.’ He had a wife and two children. Chained and caged like an animal, he was taken
to the USA where evolutionist scientists displayed him to the public in the St.
Louis World Fair along with other ape species and introduced him as ‘the
closest transitional link to man.’ Two
years later they took him to the Bronx Zoo in New York and there they exhibited
him under the denomination of ‘ancient ancestors of man’ along with a few
chimpanzee, a gorilla named Dinah, and an orangutan called Dohung. Dr. William Hornaday, the zoo’s evolutionist
director gave long speeches on how proud he was to have this exceptional
‘transitional form’ in his zoo and treated caged Ota Benga as if he were an
ordinary animal. Unable to bear the
treatment he was subjected to, Ota Benga eventually committed suicide. Piltdown Man, Nebraska Man, Ota Benga… These
scandals demonstrate that evolutionist scientists do not hesitate to employ any
kind of unscientific method to prove their theories.” -Harun Yahya, “The Evolution Deceit” (96-97)
In 1927 Davidson Black
declared he had discovered five crushed skulls and several teeth near Beijing
belonging to an ancient ape-man species now widely known as “Peking Man.” Somewhere between 1941-1945 all the original
bones were mysteriously “lost,” however, leaving only a few plaster casts left
to examine! At the same site where this
supposed “missing link” was found, there were also found the remains of 10
fully human skeletons who quarried nearby limestone, built fires and left
behind a variety of tools. Many
scientists now believe the tools were used on the Peking Man rather than by
them. The back of the skulls were all
bashed in and in that part of the world, monkey brains are a delicacy, so it is
likely that Peking Man were actually Peking apes, and they were man’s meal, not
man’s ancient ancestor.
In 1974 Donald Johansson discovered “Lucy” a three-foot tall
supposedly three-million year-old “Australopithicine” in Ethiopia. Widely publicized as our oldest direct human
ancestor, Lucy made the usual rounds of scientific magazine journals and school
textbooks. Don Johansson modestly
claimed that Lucy was “the most important find made by anyone in the history
of the entire human race,” and the media heralded him a hero. He was promoted from assistant professor to
receiving his own Institute for Human Biology at Berkley. During all this time he never allowed
scientists to examine Lucy’s bones until 1982, eight years later. Since then, and as more “Australopithecine”
skeletons have been found and examined, however, many leading evolutionists
agree that Lucy is simply an extinct type of ape, similar to modern pygmy
chimpanzees and nothing more. They may
have walked slightly more upright than most apes, but were not bipedal or
erect, could not talk, spent most time in trees, and walked on all fours.
Lord
Solly Zuckerman and Professor Charles Oxnard did 15 years of research on
Australopithecines along with a team of five specialists coming to the
conclusion that all the various specimens of Australopithecus they examined
were only an ordinary ape genus and definitely not bipedal. The French Science and Life magazine ran the
cover story in May 1999 “Goodbye Lucy” writing about how “Lucy” the most famous
fossil of Australopithecus was not the root of the human race and needs to be
removed from our supposed family tree. However, even now in 2014 a movie named “Lucy”
has just been released by Masonic “Universal Pictures” where the Lucy ape-woman
fraud is still treated as scientific
fact throughout the entire movie.
In
1982 a skull fragment found in the Spanish town of Orce was hailed to be the
oldest fossilized human remain ever found in Eurasia! “Orce man” was supposedly a 17 year old
ape-man who lived between 900,000 - 1,600,000 years ago, and was presented to
the world with the usual reconstructed drawings showing a young, hairy man-ape
teenager. In 1983, however, a team of
scientists from France concluded that the skull fragment was actually from a
four-month old donkey! A three-day scientific
symposium had been scheduled so experts could examine and discuss the bone, but
was immediately cancelled after the French investigation; embarrassed Spanish
officials sent out 500 letters to the would-be attendees apologizing. After more conclusive tests The Daily
Telegraph on May 14, 1984 carried the headline “Ass Taken For Man.”
Later
in 1984, Kemoya Kimeu in a team led by paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey,
discovered “Turkana Boy,” at Nariokotome near Lake Turkana, Kenya. Turkana Boy was proclaimed to be a pre-teen
boy from 1.5-1.6 million years ago and is now regarded as the most complete
early human skeleton ever found. Much
like Neanderthal Man, however, Turkana Boy or “Narikotome Homo erectus,” is no
different from modern man. American
paleoanthropologist Alan Walker said, “I doubt the average pathologist could
tell the difference between the fossil skeleton and that of a modern human.” He wrote that he laughed upon first seeing it
because “it looked so much like a Neanderthal.”
Turkana Boy was bipedal, with arms and legs of human proportions, an
upright skeletal structure, comparable in height, cranial size, and development
rate of modern humans. Even the
discovering team-leader Richard Leakey stated that the difference between this
specimen of “Homo erectus” and modern man are no more pronounced than simple racial
variances: “The shape of the skull, the degree of protrusion of the face,
the robustness of the brows and so on… These differences are probably no more
pronounced than we see today between the separate geographical races of modern
humans. Such biological variation arises
when populations are geographically separated from each other for significant
lengths of time.”
So,
when seen for what they really are, all the supposed ape-men discoveries and
reconstructions are nothing but frauds and fantasies. Neanderthal Man was just an ordinary man,
Java Man and Piltdown Man were composed of human and ape bones, Nebraska Man
was actually a pig, Peking Man was actually a man’s meal, Lucy was just a monkey,
Orce Man was a donkey, and Turkana Boy was just a boy!
“Reconstruction can be explained as drawing a picture or
constructing a model of a living thing based on a single bone - sometimes only
a fragment - that has been unearthed.
The ‘ape-men’ we see in newspapers, magazines, or films are all
reconstructions. The fossils that are
claimed to be evidence for the human evolution scenario are in fact products of
fraud. For more than 150 years, not even
a single fossil to prove evolution has been found. As a matter of fact, the reconstructions
(drawings or models) of the fossil remains made by the evolutionists are
prepared speculatively precisely to validate the evolutionary thesis. David R. Pilbeam, an anthropologist from
Harvard, stresses this fact when he says: ‘At least in paleoanthropology, data
are still so sparse that theory heavily influences interpretations. Theories have, in the past, clearly reflected
our current ideologies instead of the actual data.’ Since people are highly
effected by visual information, these reconstructions best serve the purpose of
evolutionists, which is to convince people that these reconstructed creatures
really existed in the past.” -Harun
Yahya, “The Evolution Deceit” (90)
All the many models, drawings, cartoons, mannequins, and movies made
involving various “ape-men” are complete fiction and fabrication because no one
can actually accurately determine the outward appearance of an animal based
solely on bone structure. Soft tissue,
which vanishes quickly after death and is responsible for the look of one’s
eyes, ears, nose, lips, hair, eyebrows, skin etc., totally depends on the
imagination of the person reconstructing them.
Earnest A. Hooten of Harvard University stated, “To attempt to
restore the soft parts is an even more hazardous undertaking. The lips, the eyes, the ears, and the nasal
tip leave no clues on the underlying bony parts. You can with equal facility model on a Neanderthaloid
skull the features of a chimpanzee or the lineaments of a philosopher. These alleged restorations of ancient types
of man have very little if any scientific value and are likely only to mislead
the public… So put not your trust in reconstructions.”
“There is no concrete fossil evidence to support the
‘ape-man’ image, which is unceasingly promulgated by the media and evolutionist
academic circles. With brushes in their
hands, evolutionists produce imaginary creatures, nevertheless, the fact that
these drawings correspond to no matching fossils constitutes a serious problem
for them. One of the interesting methods
they employ to overcome this problem is to ‘produce’ the fossils they cannot
find. Piltdown Man, which may be the
biggest scandal in the history of science, is a typical example of this method.” -Harun Yahya, “The Evolution Deceit”
(93)
The
current evolutionist ape-to-human transitional theory goes “Australophithecus,”
- “Homo habilis,” - “Homo erectus” - “Homo sapiens.” Australophithecus, which means “Southern
Ape,” has been proven to be nothing but an extinct ape which closely resembles
many modern chimpanzees in height, arm and leg length, skull shape, teeth,
mandibular structure, and many other details.
Homo habilis, a hypothetical classification created in the 1960s by
Turkana Boy team-leader Richard Leakey was what evolutionists deemed necessary
to exist between Australophithecus and Homo erectus, because the jump was far
too drastic. There needed to be a
species of ape-man with a larger cranial capacity that could walk upright and
use tools.
Serendipitously for his career, fossils unearthed in the late 1980s
were deemed Homo habilis, and Leakey was regarded a scientific genius! That is until his contemporaries Bernard Wood
and C. Loring Brace determined the Homo habilis arms were too long, legs were
too short, and skeletal structure too ape-like to be anything but an ape. Their fingers and toes were that of
tree-climbers, and their jaws and cranial capacities were comparable to modern
apes. American anthropologist Holly
Smith in 1994 concluded Homo habilis was not Homo, or human, at all, but simply
an ape just like Australopithecus. She
stated that, “Restricting analysis of fossils to specimens satisfying these
criteria, patterns of dental development of gracile australopithecines and Homo
habilis remain classified with African apes.
Those of Homo erectus and Neanderthals are classified with humans.”
So
Australopithecus and Homo habilis, the first two classifications, are both
actually fully ape, while Homo erectus and Homo sapiens, the second two
classifications, are in fact fully human and comparable to modern man, with
variances no greater than the natural variances of race and genetics. So even after 150 years of “discoveries”
evolutionists are no closer to finding a true “transitional species” existing
between ape and man, and no closer to proving their theory. Nor can they answer, how could apes develop
bipedality, human arm/leg length ratios, erect spinal columns and complex
linguistic skills? If humans evolved
from apes, why do apes still exist? Why
don’t any of these supposed transitional forms still exist now, and where are
true examples in the fossil record?
“The
evolutionists wrote the scenario of human evolution by arranging some of the
ape skulls that suited their purpose in an order from the smallest to the
biggest and scattering the skulls of some extinct human races among them. According to this scenario, men and today’s
apes have common ancestors. These
creatures evolved in time and some of them became the apes of today while
another group that followed another branch of evolution became the men of
today. However, all the paleontological,
anatomical and biological findings have demonstrated that this claim of
evolution is as fictitious and invalid as all the others. No sound or real evidence has been put
forward to prove that there is a relationship between man and ape, except
forgeries, distortions, and misleading drawings and comments. The fossil record indicates to us that
throughout history, men have been men and apes have been apes.” -Harun Yahya, “The Evolution Deceit” (98)

This is a great article!!!
Yes! Another slam dunk, Eric!
Yo Eric, you forgot to mention the most recently found skeleton remains last summer.
Somewhere in africa, i dont recall annymore. But its still brainwash-crap 😒
Home run article. Thank you for pushing this info out there. Keep it comin'!
I am sending your article to my brother and sister who graduated from Hamline University in MN in the 70's. My brother went to school planning on being a Methodist Minister. My sister on an art scholarship. I remember crying reading the books that I found in their "boxes from college" when I was a child. They contained many of the lies you mentioned. My sibs were raised believing in a creator and shortly after having their "Minds opened" as they say in college they came back different people. Although my view of Christianity has changed my belief in a creator has not. It is just something I "know". I do not know what they believe now. Most likely they believe what they were indoctrinated with all those years ago. Its like when someone says something objectionable in court. Lies can be stricken from the "record" but they still got heard. College is just indoctrination that you pay lots of money for.
This fits perfectly with occult doctrine. Helena Petrona Blavatksy wrote about this in her Isis Unveiled, and Secret Doctrine in the late 1800s.

This is really well done. And thank you for it. Common sense alone tells the thinking person that there's no ' ape-man'. Evolution is a fraud and a joke. In actual science, phenomena can be viewed in action. Experiments can be repeated again and again, and observed to verify that a principal is true. Evolution has proven tone a nefarious fraud, begun by a eugenicist and racist for the express purpose of dividing people along lines of ethnicity and class and to steal our spiritual heritage. It's just a joy to see the truth laid out so well as you've done it here. So again, thank you. TH
Excellent article. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks
There's more truth in the prophecies of The Word than in what's absurd. There's more truth in the prophecies of the Bible than in the lies of Evolution.
