What Does the Overall Fossil Record Reveal?
The fossils of early man when looked at as an overall category all support special creation. They appear fully formed and fully human in the fossil record. They appear in the earliest strata as would be expected if they were created. The various fossil men all were contemporaries of each other for long periods of time, sometimes the older fossil, from an evolutionary point of view, appears in the fossil record at a younger time period. Human fossils (KP 271) that are indistinguishable (McHenry 1975 & Patterson 1967) from those of modern skeletons have been found in stratum that is more than 4.5 million years old (remember the author does not agree with these evolutionary dates). This shows that true humans have a lineage that extends at least that far back in the evolutionary timetable. There may be older fossils of H. sapiens that have not yet been discovered. In other words, fossils that are the identical to modern humans have been found that are older than the australopithecines. Wh
