Piltdown Man Fraud

In 1912 the amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson claimed he had discovered the missing link between ape and man in the Piltdown Man bone fragments.

Although there were doubts from the beginning, the authenticity of the find was broadly accepted until 1953 when a hoax was definitively demonstrated.

A scientific review in 2016 established that Dawson was responsible for the fraudulent evidence.
