Descended Directly from Apes, naturally?

One authors writings on origins of human:
"The profound wisdom contained in the Vedas, Upanishads and Gita clearly prove that man was not primitive or barbarous, as he is made out to be by the evolutionists...The evolution of man seems to be at the psychic plane and not on the physical level as the scientists erroneously think. It will, therefore, be preposterous and unwise to hold that ancient people were primitive, uncivilised, barbarous or bestial." excerpt from this link: Origins of Man

Just as I did not know that my yoga interests and practices since my early teens was considered new age until I met and eventually married a born again christian man from Mexico. He seemed to be an authority on new age, which I found puzzling, but let ride.
