'The most ancient inhabitant of England: the newly found Sussex Man.' A page from the Illustrated London News by W.P Pycraft, examining the parallels between the Piltdown Man skull and jaw, and those of others. In 1953, the find proved to be a hoax; a combination of the skull of a medieval man, the jaw of an orangutan, and chimpanzee teeth.
