Sobre este artículo
London, New York, Toronto: Oxford University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1955. First Edition. Hardcover. Burgundy cloth. Lacking the dust jacket. 214 pages. 9 Plates. 8" X 5". Light surface scuff and mild wear on ends and corners. Laid in is the Saturday Review Book Club selection flyer for Ronald Millar's "The Piltdown Men." The Piltdown hoax is prominent for two reasons: the attention it generated around the subject of human evolution, and the length of time, 41 years, that elapsed from its alleged initial discovery to its definitive exposure as a composite forgery. On 21 November 1953, this fascinating puzzle of science was finally solved. Three scientists - including the author of this book, Joseph Weiner - described their investigations into the important fossilized human remains found at Piltdown in Sussex in the early 1900s. Their conclusion was stunning: the remains, and the accompanying materials that supposedly verified them as ancient fossils, had been faked.; 8vo .
