On 21 November 1953, one of the most fascinating puzzles in science was finally solved. Three scientists - including the author of this book, Joseph Weiner - described their investigations into the important fossilized human remains found at Piltdown in Sussex in the early 1900s. Their conclusion was stunning: the remains, and the accompanying materials that supposedly verified them as ancient fossils, had been faked.
