It was even claimed as the alleged missing link and destroyed the Faith of millions before it was acknowledged to be a Hoax. And as the BBC article I linked to in the OP says: "'All bets now off' on which ape was humanity's ancestor", they still have no clue which Ape or Ape-Man it allegedly was. They're just guessing and speculating. Apist-Human Evolution I deny until there is incontrovertible evidence that it happened.
There is incontrovertible evidence that the evolution of man from apes happened, and all that this BBC article says is that there may be other ape species instead of Australopithecus that were human ancestors; that article does not say, as you wrongly concluded (or probably you just paraphrased conclusion of some other creationist) that there is a doubt whether humans came from apes.
And not only did humans come from apes, but humans are apes.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
