EVOLUTION FORGERIES
here is no concrete fossil evidence to support the "ape-man" image, which is
T unceasingly indoctrinated by the media and evolutionist academic circles. With
brushes in their hands, evolutionists produce imaginary creatures, yet the fact that these
drawings have no matching fossils constitutes a serious problem for them. One of the
interesting methods they employ to overcome this problem is to "produce" the fossils
they cannot find. The Piltdown Man, the biggest scandal in the history of science, is a
typical example of this method.
Piltdown Man: An Orang-utan Jaw and a Human Skull!
A well-known doctor and also an amateur paleoanthropologist, Charles Dawson
came out with an assertion that he had found a jawbone and a cranial fragment in a pit
in Piltdown, England in 1912. Even though the jawbone was more ape-like, the teeth and
the skull were like a man's. These specimens were labelled the "Piltdown Man". Alleged
to be 500 thousand years old, they were displayed as an absolute proof of human evolu-
tion in several museums. For more than 40 years, many scientific articles were written on
the "Piltdown Man", many interpretations and drawings were made, and the fossil was
presented as an important evidence of human evolution. No less than five hundred doc-
toral theses were written on the subject. 45 The famous American paleoanthropologist
Henry Fairfield Osborn said "…we have to be reminded over and over again that Nature
is full of paradoxes and this is an astonishing finding about early man…" while he was
visiting the British Museum in 1935. 46
In 1949, Kenneth Oakley from the British Museum's paleontology department
attempted to try the method of "fluorine testing", a new test used for determining the
date of some old fossils. A trial was made on the fossil of the Piltdown Man. The result
was astounding. During the test, it was realised that the jawbone of the Piltdown Man

was in fact a scientific fraud
