Chemical analysis carried out here at the museum revealed the true scale of the fraud. All the finds had been planted at Piltdown, and most weren' t even fossils. The skull, allegedly 500, 000 years old, was in reality closer to 500. And the apelike jaw was indeed apelike it was an orangutan' s jaw doctored to look human. Bits of this jaw had been broken away that would give you diagnostic features. Really? And how about the teeth? The teeth, this flattened surface which is a rather human characteristic, seems to have been caused by filing. It' s not even very sophisticated. It' s been done quite crudely. It was an audacious act of forgery, but the question remained, who was the hoaxer? Over the years many have been implicated, but for Andy there is only one man who is ultimately responsible for the fraud. |
