You may be looking at this all wrong. The alleged "discovery" that Hesperopithecus dawsonii was "really" only a pig's tooth might be the nefarious evolution conspiracy cover up; and you've fallen for it! You see an ape in North America would really be evidence AGAINST evolution and for creationism, since apes supposedly evolved in Africa long after the continents separated. Apes should have never been here on the evolutionary scheme!

You mean Henry Osborn went back to the site 2 years later and planted a fake pig's jaw to kill his own discovery? Wow, I never thought of that! You may be onto something here.

After all, they did the same kind of thing to discredit Piltdown Man & his discoverers... :-)

EXACTLY! The American ape, Hesperopithecus dawsonii, was PROOF that the continents really had been divided in the Biblical "day of Peleg," just as Henry Morris claimed, not hundreds of millions of years ago as the evilutionists fantasize. Likewise "Nebraska 'Man' (Ape)" is PROOF that there really was a global temperate environment under the pre-flood canopy. Apes could live and migrate anywhere! Osburn's excitement at a new find got the better of him at first, but he soon realized that this evidence HAD TO BE SUPPRESSED!!! And just like Piltdown, we've actually succeeded in getting the creationists to play along with the coverup!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
