Evolutionists Still Ambivalent on the Handyman

For over sixty years, an image titled "The March of Progress" has been fake news about evolution. Forms of it are still used today, often in parody. It fits Charles Darwin's Victorian-era fantasy where a white man is the pinnacle of evolution. Knowledgeable evolutionists dislike it.

Darwinists have evosplained in one way or another is that scientists are agreed about evolution but not about some of the details. How about the handyman? Homo habilis is the handyman because he supposedly made tools. But he is not just a mere detail to quibble over.

H. habilis was first proposed in the 1960s but has always been controversial. Even so, it has been popularized and treated like a definitive link in the human evolution story despite opposition among evolutionists.

This wastebasket or junk taxon is a collection of odds and ends that had to be sorted through to manufacture the handyman. Tools were supposedly found near the bones. (Indeed, some alleged tools are not necessarily made by humans!) Even so, he is called an archaic human, which drops the evolutionary link idea. In reality, he was a descendant of the first created humans.

For decades, Homo habilis has been widely presented as one of the earliest members of the genus Homo. However, ongoing analyses continue to raise significant questions about its classification and even whether the fossils attributed to it represent a single species.

This highlights an important point: many past statements presented as settled conclusions were evidently overstated and based on limited and fragmentary evidence. These claims are now being reexamined. For example, sources such as Wikipedia still describe Homo habilis as “one of the oldest species of archaic humans,” even though its exact place in human origins remains debated.
