Who was 'Piltdown Man'?
|
|
In 1912 remains were found in a gravel pit on Piltdown Common, in Sussex, England. They appeared to be of a prehistoric hominid (human-like creature) with an ape-like jaw. Over 40 years later, new techniques showed that Piltdown Man was a hoax. The skull was a man's, and the jaw was from an orang-utan.
