Not as much fraud as you might find in your avg Biology textbook. How many years did they call the Peking Man true when it was a monkey skull or the other hoaxes they called fact. Sorry, I trust the internet vs corrupt scientists.

"Sorry, I trust the internet vs corrupt scientists."

You trust unverifiable claims above published and peer-reviewed evaluations?

Is this because the unverifiable claims support your contentions and beliefs instead of refute them?

How much credence would you give these claims if the situation were reversed?

Of course there have been frauds. There is fraud in every endeavor in life. Just because Bernie Madoff is a trickster doesn't mean your corner banker is stealing from your kid's piggy bank.

On what basis do you claim Peking Man is a hoax?

This is why Obama got elected.

Idiot songs and information on the internet.

You can find whatever you want to support your pre-existing beliefs on the internet.

Want to believe that our government has aliens from other planets in custody, or at least on ice? It's on the internet.

Peking Man was not a monkey. You are off by millions of years there (how many millions depends on whether we consider New World monkeys or Old World monkeys).

Rather, Peking Man is an example of Homo erectus, a member of our own genus.
