Piltdown man forgery (replica)
Cast of reconstruction of the Piltdown man forgery. The fragmentary cranium and jaw were though to represent the 'missing link' between humandand apes when discovered in 1912. It was demonstrated by Weiner in 1953 (Weiner 1953, 2000) that the bones had been artificially aged and that the mandible belonged to an ape.
