In 1912 about, there was a big hoax on this pseudo-archaeologist that found the portions of a scull that he stated was a "missing Link" and The skull was in the British Museum of Natural History for many years!! Even after it was made public that there was a hoax!! What it was another man left certain other skull portions that gave the impression that they were not two separate creatures but really just one!! Here's a link!! www.talkorigins.org/faqs/piltdown.html

It is great that forensic archaelogy has come to the point where these things are readily debunked though!

pretty interesting lit, the only thing i find good is that they had enough knowledge to make it look real. amazing what people come up with. i mean to find all these bones and treat them to look old or treat them to look like what these people wanted to find, it just amazes me what they were able to do.
and it was only a matter of time before the good old modern science age came along and figured out what it really was.
