Which scientist constructed an entire skeleton from a pig's tooth. I bet you already know you're painting yourself into a corner on this one.

"Java Man" was actually a specimen of Homo Erectus. The initial find actually consisted of the skullcap, a femur and some teeth -- a bit more to build on than just a skullcap. Whereas the initial reports could be considered a bit premature it did pan out and later specimens of H. Erectus did confirm in was a form of primitive man. So, you might say Mssr. Dubois was right in his assessment.

What of Nebraska man, Orce man, Neanderthal, the newer bird bones / dinosaur bone combo frauds in China? Even the "brontosaurus" skeleton that many people identify with was a combination of at least two different animals. It's absurd, really, to call this stuff Science.
