Piltdown Man was a good one.
***Piltdown Man was a good one. ***
Although this wasn’t a true hoax..... my favorite was Ardepithicus Ramidus Kadabba. In 2001, Time Magazine featured him on the front cover and had a seven page article on the inside.
Very prominently displayed was a toe bone with the caption: “This toe bone proves the creature walked on two legs.”
When you get to the last page of the article you find out that the toe bone was found 10 miles away from the rest of the fossil and that by their dating methods it was 300,000 years older.
They see what they want to see...... “Evolution is true, now let’s look at the evidence.”
