For decades the remains of fossils found in Piltdown, England were believed to come from a "missing link," a creature with a human cranium and an ape's jaw. Dr. Weiner shows how he discovered the truth about these remains, and went on to expose one of the world's greatest scientific frauds.

Review:
Dr. Weiner was Reader in Physical Anthropology at Oxford University, and one of the scientists whose investigations resulted in the exposure of the Piltdown Man hoax. Prof. Chris Stringer is Head of Human Origins, Dept. of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum.
"Who committed the forgery, and why? And how came it that the fraudulent nature of the finds was not discovered when they were first examined by experts? The large section of the book that deals with these questions is as exciting as any detective novel, and much more interesting for it deals with historical facts, not fiction...it beats Sherlock Holmes at his best."
