The Piltdown Skull

""The Piltdown Skull"" is a book written by Albert Churchward that delves into the infamous Piltdown Man hoax. In 1912, a human skull was discovered in England that was believed to be the missing link between humans and apes. However, in 1953, it was revealed to be a forgery, made up of a human skull and an orangutan jawbone. Churchward's book explores the history of the hoax, including the individuals involved in its creation and how they managed to deceive the scientific community for decades. He also examines the impact that the Piltdown Man had on the field of anthropology and the study of human evolution. Throughout the book, Churchward presents evidence and theories as to who may have been behind the forgery and why. He also discusses the lessons that can be learned from the Piltdown Man hoax, including the importance of skepticism and critical thinking in scientific research. Overall, ""The Piltdown Skull"" is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of science and anthropology, as well as the human tendency to believe in hoaxes and deception.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Origin and Evolution of the Human Race, by Albert Churchward.
