'''''Homo erectus''''' is the [[species]] name assigned to human [[fossils]] that evolutionists claim are [[transitional forms]] between [[australopithecines]] (apes) and both [[Neanderthals]] and modern humans. To date, more than 280 fossil individuals have been found that are identified with this group.<ref name=lubenow>Lubenow, Marvin.

[[Creationists]] generally agree that all supposed [[ape-men]] fossils are, in fact, either ape or fully human. Species names within the taxonomic genus [[homo]] are viewed as fabricated classes invented to support [[theory of evolution|evolutionary theory]], and should be regarded as mere instruments of propaganda. The majority of ''Homo erectus'' fossils represent the populations of humans that lived following the [[global flood]] and the [[Tower of Babel]], and should be considered true ''Homo sapiens''.<ref>[http://creation.com/images/pdfs/tj/j03_1/j03_1_152-153.pdf Homo Erectus — A Fabricated Class of 'Ape-Men'] by Malcolm Bowden, ''Journal of Creation'', Vol.3, 1988, pp. 152-153.</ref> | [[Creationists]] generally agree that all supposed [[ape-men]] fossils are, in fact, either ape or fully human.
