This is Ken Ham, inviting you to bring the whole family to the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum.
In the mid-1800s workmen discovered some fossil bones in a cave—the first Neanderthals. Eventually these people were given their own species name and treated as our more distant relatives, a dead-end branch on the evolutionary tree.
But later research showed they wore make-up and jewelry, made tools, weapons, and musical instruments, and even had children with so-called modern man!
Neanderthals aren’t closer to the apes than us—they were humans, made in God’s image, and descended from Adam just as we are.
There aren’t any “apemen.” All the “missing links” are either mistakes, apes, or humans like us.
