Poster Print : Piltdown man reconstructed
Poster Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Piltdown man reconstructed
The Piltdown man sketched by A. Forestier after Professor Keiths reconstruction, and an inset showing an alterative reconstruction after Dr. A. Smith Woodward. The discovery, made by Charles Dawson in a gravel deposit near Piltdown Common, of part of a jaw and a portion of the skull, aroused great interest. Presumed to be the remains of the oldest known inhabitant of Europe, the Piltdown man was thought to be the missing link, until it was found to be an elaborate hoax in the early 1950s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print captures the infamous Piltdown man, a supposed missing link in human evolution that turned out to be an elaborate hoax. The image shows two different reconstructions of the Piltdown man - one by Professor Keith and another by Dr. A. Smith Woodward.
Discovered by Charles Dawson near Piltdown Common, the remains consisted of part of a jaw and a portion of the skull, sparking great interest in the scientific community as they were believed to belong to the oldest known inhabitant of Europe. However, it was later revealed that these remains were forged, leading to one of the biggest archaeological scandals in history.
The Piltdown man was once thought to bridge the gap between humans and apes, but further investigation proved otherwise. This revelation shook up our understanding of human evolution and highlighted how easy it is for even experts to be deceived.
Despite being debunked in the early 1950s, this print serves as a reminder of how science can sometimes be misled and showcases an important chapter in archaeology's history. It stands as a cautionary tale against jumping to conclusions based on limited evidence and emphasizes the importance of rigorous scrutiny in scientific research.
