What evidence do you have that Piltdown was a fraud?
Piltdown was rejected by 1912 as appearing to be made out of parts of different specimens, using evolutionary theory.

The History Chanel had a show on "The Greatest scientific frauds of the 20th century" Piltdown man was a modern skull with an older apes jaw that had the teeth filed down, It was "discovered" in 1913 and it wasn't until 1953 that it was exposed as a fake.
