Piltdown man

Eye opening stuff. I had not heard of the Piltdown man before this. Interested to learn that Charles Dawson’s forgeries were only confirmed in 2016. I’d like to hope that someone will write a book on this!
This dramatization featuring the main players at the time was rather clever. Be sure to listen right to the end, as there is an interview with an archaeologist that sheds more light.
