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. |
