Piltdown Man set back the science of anthropology for decades. Perhaps this is the biggest legacy of the fraud - the damage done to a science by those who set out to intentionally deceive others.
We can always look back and argue that anthropology was still in its infancy and therefore anthropologists were easily fooled by this deception. But, as we will see in future blogs, junk science and fraudulent science is still a risk in the scientific world. It has been said by many fraudsters that scientists are usually the easiest people to fool because scientists often live in a world where the idea that someone would intentionally falsify data is hard to accept.
As I stated at the very beginning of this thread, however, economic fraud is not the only fraud which can be found. Fraud in the scientific community can occur, as well as fraud in other fields. The effects of such fraud can affect a community for decades.
We will move onto another thread tomorrow.
As always, have a great and fraud-free day.
