The fossil of the creature, named Darwinus masillae, was discovered in two parts at different times.

Maybe another Piltdown man? A human skull and the jaw of an orangutan mixed together and thought to be a missing link for a long time.

From what I have read, Piltdown man was a planned hoax, not a misunderstanding.
