Model reconstruction of Piltdown Man at Los Angeles, California, USA. Piltdown Man was based on skull and jaw fragments near Piltdown, Sussex, UK, by Charles Dawson, amateur geologist. Piltdown Man was presented as the link between modern man and his distant ancestor the ape, combining the large brain of man with an ape-like jaw. In 1953 Piltdown Man was shown to be a fraud. The skull fragments were human and the jaw belonged to an ape. | |
