So I'm keen to find out who fooled the scientific community for over 40 years and how they did it. Museum palaeontologist Andy Currant knows Piltdown Man better than most. Hello, Andy. Hi there. How are you? I'm pretty good, pretty good. I've bought an old friend to see you. The saga began in 1912 when a fragment of human skull was unearthed in the village of Piltdown in East Sussex. It was found, famously, like bits of a smashed coconut, and this is quite thick for human skull. How old did they reckon that was at the time? Maybe half a million years old.


辟尔唐人，我不禁好奇，是谁糊弄了科学界整整四十年。他们又是如何行骗的？我求助博物馆古生物学家安迪·柯伦特研究辟尔唐人的一把手。 -安迪你好 -你好，你好吗 我很好 我带了位老朋友来见你，发掘过程，事件始于1912年在东萨塞克斯郡的辟尔唐村，发现一块人头骨碎片，对它外观的形容很有名 "像块椰子壳"。它的厚度在人头骨中偏厚。 当时人们估算它有多久的历史？ 可能有五十万年颅骨。
