This large, long remained fraud deceived the scientific community for four decades (from 1913 to 1953). I remember having studied the subject in 1991, when he was the career of Professor of History in Montevideo. A few days ago, reading a compilation of stories by HP Lovecraft the subject came from the mouth of the same writer, had not yet discovered the deception and this encouraged me to seek information.
The so-called Piltdown Man "was" discovered "in the English town of the same name in 1912. In the town of Sussex is "found" a consistent skeletal remains in a partial skull, a loose tooth and a jaw with teeth. The discovery was made by a quarry worker who delivered the findings to the amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson, who presented with the prestigious paleontólgo Smith Woodward (British Museum) at the Geological Society of London. Then
was created uproar and the press said they had failed to find the famous "link Lost, which was immediately dubbed Eoanthropus dawsonii. The scientific community accepted it using some critical thinking and analysis because it was the perfect excuse for what was believed at that time with respect to human evolution ( reinforced the idea our earliest ancestors were quadrupeds with a huge ape brain, when in fact our ancestors more than 16,000 generations were small-brained bipeds small) .
many years had to pass the dentist AT Marston , determined that the teeth of the skeleton belonged to an orangutan, loose tooth to a monkey and a human skull. More immediately began investigations. The analysis of fluoride content of bones showed that the burial was intrusive, and the dark color of the bones was due to a chemical treatment (potassium dichromate) to standardize the color of the jaw to the skull. Revealed
public opinion siding that had been armed only remained to find him or those responsible for this great joke, at first suspected of the original discoverers, especially Dawson, arguing that his motivation was national character, given that there was no human fossil discovered in the British Isles. However, Professor Douglas's death left a tape in which the author noted that such a forgery had been the super famous Professor Sollas, which sought to discredit his rival this Woodward. And curiously, despite the fraud, a monument of honor to these remains in the place where it was found, and in fact attended the opening Woodawrd. Other hypotheses point to Arthur Conan Doyle and Teilhard de Chardin as complicit in this deception. The important thing was that science finally managed to clear things up and deception was discovered. This serves, however, as objection of the creationist child to evolutionary theories, but any sane person knows that this s are mere superstitions held by beings who believe in imaginary entities and are mired in a perpetual state of imbecility by adoring their little god. As a farewell phrase from Carl Sagan:
"One of the reasons for the success of science is that it has an inbuilt mechanism that corrects the errors in your own breast. Perhaps some consider this feature too broad, but for me, every Once self-criticism, every time we tested our ideas in light of the outside world, we are making science ".
