Paranthropus was an ape-like hominin that survived alongside early humans for more than a million years. A fossilised leg belonging to a strikingly small member of the group.
What do people say about the ape men hypothesis?. According to Darwinists who think that we evolved from ape like creatures, the answer is yes, but according to Bible believing scientist, it is no.
According to Darwinists,
“ a fossilised left leg unearthed in
South Africa belongs to one of the smallest adult hominins ever discovered –
smaller even than the so-called “hobbit”, Homo floresiensis.
The diminutive hominin was a member of the
species Paranthropus robustus. This was one of several species of Paranthropus, a group of
ape-like hominins that shared the African landscape with the earliest
representatives of our human genus, Homo, between about 2.7 and 1.2
million years ago. Paranthropus had heavily build skulls that housed small brains and large
teeth.”
