The materialist naturalist neodarwinian mindset is prone to fraud (and history is replete with them).

Your list of alledged frauds includes exactly one real fraud (Piltdown Man, found in 1912). It has one misinterpretation (Nebraska Man, 1922 or thereabouts). Peking Man and Java Man are now considered regional variants of Homo erectus. There is no fraud. You also put Neanderthal man in the fraud list, another scoop.

You basically have an alternate universe here.

By the way, contrary to the constant claim of the creationists, Piltdown Man wasn't a fraud created by biologists to prop up the theory of evolution. It was a bogus fossil planted by a crank, who apparently wanted to place his fake "missing link" in England. Genuine evolutionists realized that such a fossil didn't make any sense in the context of all their other evidence. Eventually the hoax was exposed -- by evolutionists. The Piltdown episode, rather than being an embarrassment, actually demonstrates how powerful evolution theory is. It predicts what kind of evidence will be found to exist, and it exposes bogus "evidence."

In reality, Piltdown man was a fraud committed on evolutionists, but not by evolutionists. In a way, it reminds me of the fake and out-of-context quotes that creationists frequently produce.

Peking Man and Java Man aren't confirmed frauds? I will have to look that up anew and see exactly what the scoop is. If my information is wrong, I will gladly admit as much.

Yeah, but anyone that can come up with this ...The materialist naturalist neodarwinian mindset is prone to fraud (and history is replete with them)..... deserves extra credit points.
