Fair enough. Forgot that one. Strictly speaking this should be considered fraud in an evolutionary field (even if it was an anti-darwinian one). So that's two in 100 years. Any other cases of real fraud in an evolutionary field, committed by a researcher?

BTW, there's also Lysenko and Lysenkoism in the old Soviet Union, another evolutionary but anti-darwinian fraud. But I think it's fair enough to exclude examples which occured under totalitarian systems that manipulated the sciences (and all fields of intellectual inquiry) and often actively encouraged fraud!

If anyone doubts how brutal science is to frauds and hoaxers, try googling Inge Czaja.
