Piltdown Man Hoax.

Still defended by the most ardent Evolutionist Zealots

Not correct. Many researchers recognized early on that Piltdown didn't fit. The geology was picked on by about 1915. Friedrichs and Weidenreich had both, by about 1932, published their research suggesting the lower jaws and molars were that of an orang (they were correct). By then most scholars were ignoring Piltdown entirely because it didn't fit with the newer South African finds. Only a few British anthropologists (likely for reasons of national pride) still bought into Piltdown at that time.

But if you have evidence that some "ardent Evolutionist Zealots" are still defending Piltdown, I am sure you would be willing to post it for us.

Do you have any idea how wrong you are? Piltdown Man was not widely accepted even before it was revealed to be a hoax. How many modern proponents of Biological evolution say that man’s evolution from earlier primates happened in ENGLAND? If Piltdown wasn’t a hoax it would speak against the evidence of hominid evolution in Africa.

But i guess facts don’t matter when you’ve created your own reality.
