"So the evolutionists are then justified because they *exposed* these hoaxes?"

The only hoax I am aware of is Piltdown Man (Haeckel's drawings are more exaggerations, though you can add that if yo want; they were not nearly as important as anti-evos claim they were). It's not even certain who perpetrated it. The rest of the so-called *hoaxes* that get thrown around by anti-evos are either mistakes that were quickly fixed (Nebraska Man) or were never problematic to begin with (Peking Man, the peppered moth studies).

So you don't count all the fake fossils that are flooding the market?

They were more than exaggerations. It was pretty much outright fraud. Still, the point remains that they were never widely accepted (and in fact rather quickly exposed by Haeckel's colleagues).
