Don't be silly, it wasn't "just one guy".
There's also the case of the OBVIOUS fraud of attaching a ape jawbone to a human skull fragment, then filing down the canines and presenting that as a transitional form. Once the fraud was exposed, it was obvious that anyone looking at the "original" had to be in on the fraud as well.
Now your talking about “Piltdown man” which was a deliberate fraud, promptly ignored and then discredited by Science.
You harp on these two notes because it is all you have to try to pluck out a symphony of “its all just fraud and one tooth”.
Laughable, seeings as how both were excellent examples of how fraud and wild extrapolation not based on evidence are CORRECTED by Science. Meanwhile Creationism embraces its frauds and charlatans and has no mechanism for correcting them.
