"LUCY":
It has been determined that "Lucy's" thumbs were very apelike, her toes long and curved for climbing trees, and that she probably nested in the trees and lived like other monkeys.
The man who discovered "Lucy" later confessed that she was only an ape . . . not the "missing link" he had hoped her to be.
JAVA MAN:
About 15 years before his death, and after most evolutionists had become convinced that the bones found in Java were nothing more than from a modern human, Eugene Dubois announced his conviction that the bones belonged to a gibbon (a very small ape with long arms and no tail).
School textbooks continue to cite 500,000 years as the age of "Java Man", one of our "missing links" but obviously quite an imaginary figure.
NEANDERTHAL MAN:
CRO-MAGNON MAN:
NEW GUINEA MAN:
The fact is, the fossil record has not produced one piece of evidence that man has evolved from another species. Millions and millions of fossils have been unearthed, and not one of them substantiates the philosophy that man evolved from apes, monkeys, or any other animal.
If the theory of evolution were true, surely by now at least one credible piece of fossil evidence would have been unearthed.

"Lucy" is one of the most recent of the Australopithecus finds and was unearthed by Donald C. Johanson at Hadar, Ethiopia in 1975.
In 1976, Mr. Johanson said that "Lucy" had massive V-shaped jaws in contrast to man." (National Geographic Magazine, 150:790-810). Then, in 1981 he stated that she was "embarr-assingly un-homo like.
Time Magazine reported in 1977 that Lucy had a tiny skull, a head like an ape, a braincase size the same as that of a chimp -- 450 cc. and "was surprisingly short legged."
In 1983 it was determined that Lucy's ankle bone tilts backward like a gorilla instead of forward like a human beings who need it so to walk upright.
In 1891, Java Man was found by a man named Eugene Dubois. This is a classic example of a man searching for evidence to support the theory of evolution.
After dropping out of school, he began searching in Sumatra and other Dutch East Indies islands. Finally, on the island of Java, he found a skull cap. A year later and fifty feet from where he found the skull cap, he found a femur or leg bone. Sometime later, at another location, he found three teeth.
British zoologist thought his finds were human, but German experts decided it was an ape. When further examination of the bones was requested, Dubois refused to show his "bone collection" to anyone.
At the International Congress of Zoology (1958), Dr. A. J. E. Cave reported that his examination of the famous Neanderthal skeleton found in France, was that of an old man who suffered from arthritis.
Thus, another "missing link" bit the dust!
One of the earliest and best established fossils has been found to be equal in physique and brain capacity as a modern man . . . so what is the difference?
New Guinea Man dates way back to 1970 . . . this species once thought to be a "missing link", has been found in the region just north of Australia . . . ALIVE!
