The best example of how evolutionists interpret fossils
according to their own preconceptions is a fossilized elbow bone
found in the Kenyan region of Kanapoi. This fossil, displayed in
the Kenya National Museum – East Rudolf under the number KP 271,
consists of a part of the upper arm bone near the elbow.
Unearthed in 1965 by Bryon Patterson of Harvard University, it
has been exceedingly well preserved. The latest tests carried
out by evolutionists have shown it to be around 4.5 million
years old.1 The fossil is therefore known as the oldest hominid
fossil discovered to date. In 1967, the researchers Bryan
Patterson and W.W. Howells joined forces to describe KP 271.
They suggested that the fossil's anatomy was similar to that of
human beings and that it belonged to Australopithecus. Howells
and his assistant Patterson announced the report regarding their
research in the 7 April, 1967 edition of Science magazine, in
which they stated: In these diagnostic measurements, Kanapoi
Hominoid 1 [the original name giv
