So - Piltdown Man and fraud. What does one have to do with the other?
When something comes along that seems to provide an answer, sometimes we overlook the obvious.
Piltdown Man can be forgiven for being a fraud. It can also be forgiven for deceiving many people, including anthropologists. Science is in a constant process of development, all science, and it is not uncommon for one theory to be overthrown upon the discovery of new evidence. In this respect, Piltdown Man is just another chapter in scientific history.
What signals it as fraud, however, is that it was planted by a person who obviously was intent on deceiving people and that so many people were willing to look past the obvious problems with this "find" because it answered so many issues, including issues that had nothing to do with anthropology.
Tommorrow, we will discovery how certain people gained financially from Piltdown Man and then wrap it up.
