There’s been more than one single incorrect claim about a fossil in the scientific world. Evolution is replete with claims that have eventually proved to be bogus.
The problem is, that when the claims are made, they are heralded with great fanfare. When they are debunked, it’s swept under the carpet.
It’s dishonest to keep trumpeting the triumphs and not admitting so vocally when you were wrong.
One reason is that it’s the cowards way out. The other reason is that it leaves the false impression that much more evidence exists connecting man to primates than is really out there.
Either way is deceptive, either outright lying, or allowing a lie to propagate without correcting it as strongly as announcing it.
I notice that you Creationists are whacking at strawmen most of the time. The solid science done between 1900 and 1940 that confirmed evolution you leave alone. Also, I don't see you touching successful theories such as the "Triangle of U" or other recent confirmations that have resulted from genome comparisons.
