The Piltdown Man hoax

Jun 082020
 

Read Andrew Leopold's presentation on the Piltdown Man hoax (pdf – 18 slides).

The hoax is perhaps the most famous paleoanthropological hoax ever to have been perpetrated, in large part because of the length of time (40 years) that elapsed from its discovery in 1912 to its full exposure as a forgery in 1953.
