Book Synopsis Piltdown Man by : Miles Russell

Download or read book Piltdown Man written by Miles Russell and published by Tempus Publishing, Limited. This book was released on 2003 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human and animal remains discovered almost 100 years ago at Piltdown, near Lewes in Sussex were at the time hailed as the "missing link" between ape and man. It was not until 1953 that modern analysis conclusively revealed an ingenious hoax. The perpetrator was almost certainly the antiquarian excavator Charles Dawson who, as Miles Russell shows, was responsible for 16 other archaeological forgeries during his lifetime.
