Francois Coppee Et Son Oeuvre (1908)

Did a non-human species, called hominids, having distinct anthropoid (ape-like) anatomical features, actually stand erect and walk on two legs about five million years ago? Did these acreatures, a some three million years later, adapt to the use of animal skins for covering their bodies, fashion crude tools by striking lava rocks together and use the sharp flakes produced for weapons, stripping the hides from dead animals and extracting meat from their carcasses? Ultimately, did they also acquire the ability to build containable fires for warmth, cooking and protection from predators? If so, were these hominids creations of God, or did they just inexplicably appear, lead harsh, uneventful lives and become extinct without leaving a trace of their five-million-year existence? There is one irrefutable certaintyathey were here! They were real as they walked our earth! And they were creations of our Almighty God!
