Dear Dr. I do not wish to disagree,but in 1953 A group of scientist lead by a Kenneth Oakley put the bones to further test and determined that the skull was only 600 years old and that the jawbone was that of an orangutan that had the teeth reshaped by filing. Further, all the bones had been chemically treated to make them appear older. So, yes I believe the British Museum, and others who have come to the same conclusion, it was purposeful scientific fraud. A question for you now, Do you think Eoanthropus Dawsoni was genuine?

It was a real example of Intelligent Design. I remember when the radioactive dating confirmed what I had read earlier, namely that only the Out-Of-Englanders still accepted Piltdown.
