The Piltdown Forgery - Fiftieth Anniversary edition, with a new Introduction and Afterword by Chris Stringer (Paperback, Anniversary Edition)

Piltdown was an archaeological site in Sussex where, in 1908 and 1912, human, ape and other mammal fossils were found together. Widely accepted as a creature who had a human cranium and an ape's jaw, the Piltdown 'Man' was, however, exposed as a fraud in 1953. Dr Weiner carefully reveals his own theories which led to this exposure and describes the controversies and difficulties which beset the scientific evaluation of the discovery. This new edition contains a foreword and afterword by Professor Chris Stringer, of the Natural History Museum.
