Fraud fraud: n Practical Joke Example of deceptive trick trick: Piltdown Man For 40 years they have been considered as one of the archaeological discoveries of this century. They are the bones of Eoanthropus dawsoni found near Piltownown Commons of Sussex. Bone's "missing link". Since 1953, the name "Piltdown" is not associated with major scientific discoveries, but it is associated with scientific fraud.

With "discovery" by Piltdown man in 1912, research on human evolution advanced in the wrong direction. In 1963, when the human skull and the gorilla's jaw were eventually exposed, the fragments of this large puzzle began to fall in place. Since the expert's opinion is not tilted, the relationship between genuine fossils begins to make sense. "The relationship of relatives of the same species may be represented by big trees.I think that this similarity mainly explains the facts.The branches of green and shoots represent existing species and each branch of the previous year It expresses the inheritance of a long extinct species, the limb is divided into large branches and it is divided into small branches. When the trees are small, they are themselves buds, the front and the buds are connected by branches, subdivided into groups Well represent all extinct species and species in the population

In 1912, "Piltdown man" was introduced to the world as Eoanthropus dawsoni. At that time, the brain was regarded as a symbol of humanity, but British anatomists had valuable brain Pierre fossils, so for over 40 years I ignored the discovery of many important fossil human beings. Terhad continued paleontological research on "Beijing People" site in Zhou ian of China. Chinese fossils helped Tilhart to harmonize his current understanding of his Christian faith and human fossil record. In "Human phenomena" (1938-1940), Terhad proposed a theory of human evolution that humans are moving toward the ultimate mental unity known as ultimatism. This idea caused an opposition from the boss of the Jesuits.
