OK - as promised - here is the evidence that spelled the end of the hoax of Piltdown Man:
In November 1953, Time magazine published evidence gathered variously by Kenneth Page Oakley, Sir Wilfred Edward Le Gros Clark and Joseph Weiner proving that the Piltdown Man was a forgery and demonstrating that the fossil was a composite of three distinct species. It consisted of a human skull of medieval age, the 500 year old lower jaw of a Sarawak orangutan and chimpanzee fossil teeth. The appearance of age had been created by staining the bones with an iron solution and chromic acid. Microscopic examination revealed file marks on the teeth and it was deduced from this that someone had modified the teeth to give them a shape more suitable to a human diet.
So, by 1953, the game was up.
Have a great and fraud free day.
