Many people honestly believe that the ancestry of mankind has been mapped faithfully and nearly completely. They have heard about "missing links," and regard them as scientific proof for man's evolution from primates. However, in truth, no ancestor for man has ever been documented. The "missing links" are still missing. Here is a summary of facts relating to some of the most well known fossil discoveries.

* Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (Neandertal man) - 150 years ago Neandertal reconstructions were stooped and very much like an 'ape-man'. It is now admitted that the supposedly stooped posture was due to disease and that Neandertal is just a variation of the human kind.

* Ramapithecus - once widely regarded as the ancestor of humans, it has now been realised that it is merely an extinct type of orang-utan (an ape).
* Eoanthropus (Piltdown man) - This was  the name given to a jaw bone found in 1912. The British  Museum “verified” it as having human features although the jaw was ape like. Evolutionists hailed it as proof that man descended from apes. Forty years later, it was shown that Piltdown Man was an elaborate hoax. The jaw was from an orang-utan and the teeth  had been filed down to make them look human.

* Hesperopithecus (Nebraska man) - based on a single tooth of a type of pig now only living in Paraguay.  Similar hoaxes and mistakes have  continued even  in recent times with the Daily  Telegraph (1984) running a story about the skull of a donkey being heralded as the oldest Homo in Eurasia, whilst in 1983 the New Scientist contained the headline:  ‘Hominid Collarbone Exposed as Dolphin’s Rib’.  Stephen Jay Gould (Professor of Geology and Palaeontology,  Harvard University)  admitted “All palaeontologist know that the fossil record contains precious little in the way of intermediate forms”.

 There is no fossil proof that man is the product of evolution. The missing links are still missing because they simply do not exist.
