| Details |
Ape-Man of Modern Man? The two Piltdown skull reconstructions. A page from the Illustrated London News, debating the merits of Dr. A. Smith-Woodward's reconstructions of the Piltdown Man's skull over the reconstructions proposed by Professor Arthur Keith. 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.
