The Piltdown Skull

""The Piltdown Skull"" is a book written by Albert Churchward that explores the famous archaeological hoax of the same name. The Piltdown Man was believed to be a missing link in human evolution, discovered in England in 1912. However, it was later revealed to be a forgery, created by combining the skull of a medieval human with the jawbone of an orangutan. Churchward delves into the history of the discovery, the scientific community's reaction, and the eventual exposure of the fraud. He also examines the possible motives behind the hoax and the impact it had on the field of anthropology. The book provides a detailed and fascinating account of one of the most notorious scientific frauds in history.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Origin and Evolution of the Human Race, by Albert Churchward.
