The Piltdown Hoax: Uncovering the Truth Behind the Fossil Forgery The Piltdown Hoax was a notorious archaeological fraud in which fabricated fossil remains were presented as a missing link in human evolution. Discovered in England in 1912, the hoax wasn’t exposed until 1953, when it was revealed that the skull and jawbone found at the site actually belonged to a modern human and an orangutan, respectively. The scandal rocked the scientific community and served as a cautionary tale about the importance of rigorous testing and skepticism in the field of paleontology.
