About this title

Synopsis

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.

About the Author

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.
