EDITORS COMMENTS
In the pages of the Illustrated London News, dated 1913, a heated debate unfolds between two leading anthropologists of the time, Dr. A. Smith Woodward and Professor Arthur Keith, over the reconstruction of the Piltdown Man's brain capacity. The Piltdown Man, discovered in East Sussex, England in 1912, was hailed as the missing link between apes and humans. However, the authenticity of the find was soon called into question, with some experts, including Professor Keith, proposing alternative reconstructions. The image above shows a comparison of the two proposed brain reconstructions, with Dr. Woodward's reconstruction on the left and Professor Keith's on the right. The Piltdown Man's skull, along with the Heidelberg jaw, is also depicted for reference. Dr. Woodward's reconstruction suggests a larger brain capacity for the Piltdown Man, aligning with the idea of it being a more advanced hominid. However, Professor Keith's reconstruction challenges this notion, proposing a smaller brain capacity more in line with that of an ape. The Piltdown Man remains a controversial find in the annals of archaeology and prehistory, with many believing it to be a hoax or forgery. The debate between Dr. Woodward and Professor Keith is a testament to the scientific rigor and skepticism that characterizes the field, even in the face of groundbreaking discoveries. This page from the Illustrated London News offers a fascinating glimpse into the reporting of scientific discoveries in the early 20th century and the role of journalism in shaping public understanding of history.
