Evolutionists
believe that ape men where the ancestors of modern men so they depict ancient men
as having ape like features.
The first
confirmed fossil hands of Paranthropus boisei show that this ancient
relative was capable of making tools, but was also much stronger than modern
humans
A pair of hands belonging to an enigmatic ancient hominin that lived around 1.5 million years ago has been found for the first time, revealing that they had gorilla-like strength alongside the dexterity to make tools.
Paranthropus
boisei was first discovered by archaeologist Mary Leakey in 1959 at
Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. The skull was found alongside a type of stone tool known as
Oldowan and it
was claimed the species was the oldest known maker of stone tools. But because
no hand fossils had been found, anthropologists couldn’t be sure that P.
boisei had made them.
