"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel... By which also ye are saved... unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4)

Ramapithecus is claimed by evolutionists to have emerged 12-14 million years ago and is believed to be one of the earliest known creatures to be on the direct line of descent to man. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition, 2001, states, "Fossils of Ramapithecus were discovered in N India and in E Africa, beginning in 1932. Although it was generally an apelike creature, Ramapithecus was considered a possible human ancestor on the basis of the reconstructed jaw and dental characteristics of fragmentary fossils. A complete jaw discovered in 1976 was clearly non-hominid, however, and Ramapithecus is now regarded by many as a member of Sivapithecus, a genus considered to be an ancestor of the orangutan."

Science Digest published in 1981 that "Ramapithecus was an ancestor of neither modern humans or modern apes. Instead Pilbeam [a Yale University paleoanthropologist] thinks it represents a third lineage that has no living descendants."

Some have claimed that Ramapithecus was the first ape to walk upright on two legs, even though no leg bones were found.

Conclusion: According to the "experts", this was an extinct relation to the orangutan, or else it has no descendants at all.
