The human and animal remains discovered at Piltdown, near Lewes in Sussex almost 100 years ago were at the time hailed as the 'missing link' between ape and man. It was not until 1953 that modern analysis conclusively revealed an ingenious hoax. The perpetrator was almost certainly the antiquarian excavator Charles Dawson who, as Miles Russell shows, was responsible for sixteen other archaeological forgeries during his lifetime.

Soft Cover. Etat : Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. A Fine unmarked copy. Piltdown in Sussex was the scene of the most daring archaeological hoax ever to be perpetrated upon the scientific community, when the discovery of a human skull and ape-like jaw was hailed in the press as the evolutionary 'missing link' between ape and man, but it was exposed as a fraud in 1953. For the last 50 years people have speculated on the identity and possible motive of the Piltdown forger and now for the first time, the life and career of Piltdown's 'discoverer', Charles Dawson, is put under the microscope with some rather startling conclusions. Piltdown, it would appear, was only one in a long line of hoaxes, frauds and academic deceptions. 51 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. N° de réf. du vendeur 005374
