Piltdown was exposed as a hoax primarily because it didn't fit the expectations of evolution.
I'm continually amazed that creationists don't claim it is real and the charge of fakery a coverup.
On what grounds would a creationist claim that Piltdown is a hoax?

*Nebraska Man* had about a 3-4 year lifespan. It was never accepted by most scientists and was soon dropped. It was a mistake, not a fraud.
Piltdown was the only hominid hoax. The hoax was discovered by scientists, and it was not universally accepted by science at any time.
The rest of the hominid evidence is unassailable.
