Piltdown Man - The Secret Life of Charles Dawson and the World's Greatest Hoax
Stroud Gloucestershie: Tempus 2003. A Fine unmarked copy. Piltdown in Sussex was the scene of the most daring archaeological hoax ever to be perpetrated upon the scientific community when the discovery of a human skull and ape-like jaw was hailed in the press as the evolutionary 'missing link' between ape and man but it was exposed as a fraud in 1953. For the last 50 years people have speculated on the identity and possible motive of the Piltdown forger and now for the first time the life and career of Piltdown's 'discoverer' Charles Dawson is put under the microscope with some rather startling conclusions. Piltdown it would appear was only one in a long line of hoaxes frauds and academic deceptions. 51. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Tempus Paperback
