Overcomeproblems.com - Theory of Evolution Disproved
Piltdown Man- The “Piltdown “ skull was first “ discovered” in England in1912 by Charles Dawson. For Forty –one years it was leading evidence for evolution until in 1953 it was discovered to be a forgery . It was actually found to be a recent human skull combined with a female orangutan jaw, and was dyed and slightly modified to give it the appearance of age. It’s interesting to note how all textbooks before 1953 showed Piltdown man in every human’s family tree, then one day it was no longer “true”. The British Museum has documented other discoveries by Dawson as forgeries as well.
Piltdown Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piltdown Man was a paleoanthropological hoax in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised remains of a previously unknown early human. These fragments consisted of parts of a skull and jawbone, said to have been collected in 1912 from a gravel pit at Piltdown, East Sussex, England. The Latin name Eoanthropus dawsoni ("Dawson's dawn-man", after the collector Charles Dawson) was given to the specimen. The significance of the specimen remained the subject of controversy until it was exposed in 1953 as a forgery, consisting of the lower jawbone of an orangutan deliberately combined with the cranium of a fully developed modern human.
Yes, Piltdown Man was exposed in 1953 as a forgery. That does not disprove evolutionary theory. There are plenty of other perfectly legitimate hominid fossils that go back as far as 6-7 million years ago. Your pathetically dishonest creationist website is dismissed.
