| | Piltdown Man |
 | | Piltdown man was not an ancestor; it was not a case of erroneous interpretation; it was a case of outright deliberate fraud. | | | Piltdown man was a hoax, the most ancient of people who never were. | | | This was not an ordinary hoax; it was a systematic campaign over the years to establish the existence of Piltdown man. The early skull fragments were created in advance and salted with the foreknowledge that more extensive finds would be planted later. |

| | Piltdown Man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Piltdown Man (Eoanthropus dawsoni) was a fraud which was perpetrated, possibly by Charles Dawson and/or others, on paleontologists from November 1912 until its exposure in 1953. | | | Although now clearly discredited, Piltdown Man is a bit of a cause célèbre for creationists, who claim it shows evidence of corruption in the scientific community, and points to the possibility that other hominid fossils are hoaxes. | | | Piltdown Man turned out to be literally half-ape, half-man: it consisted of the skull of a medieval human, the 500-year-old lower jaw of a Sarawak orangutan and chimpanzee fossil teeth. |

| | Creationist Arguments: Java Man |
| | Based on his own theories about how brains had evolved and wishful thinking, Dubois did claim that Java Man was "a gigantic genus allied to the gibbons", but this was not, as creationists imply, a retraction of his earlier claims that it was an intermediate between apes and humans. | | | Lubenow claims that Dubois concealed the Wadjak fossils because the discrepancy of the tapir would have contradicted his claim that Java Man was far older than Wadjak. | | | When Mehlert stated that ER 3733 and WT 15000 had rendered untenable the claim that Java Man skullcap was just a large ape, he was only about 60 years behind the times. |

| | This program has met with mixed results; and has been behind many instances of ethnic tension, and even violence between the native people and the settlers. | | | Java (7° S 109° E) is in a chain of islands with Kalimantan (Borneo) to the north, Sumatra to the northwest, Bali to the east, Borneo to the northeast and Christmas Island to the south. | | | With the establishment of Jakarta as the capital, and the Javanese roots of the majority of Indonesian political figures, the island remains politically and economically dominant over the rest of the country. |

| | Creationist Arguments: Piltdown Man |
| | In 1953 Piltdown was discovered to be a hoax, consisting of a modern human skull and an orang-utan jaw. | | | The claim is sometimes made by creationists that 500 doctoral dissertations were written about Piltdown Man. This claim is false. | | | No creationist who discusses the human fossil record avoids mentioning Piltdown Man. Piltdown Man (Eoanthropus dawsoni) was discovered in England by an amateur, Charles Dawson, between 1908 and 1912. |

| | Neanderthal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Based on a 2001 study, some commentators speculated that Neanderthals exhibited rufosity, and some red-headed and freckled humans today share some heritage with Neanderthals. | | | Neanderthal is now spelled two ways: The spelling of the German word Thal, meaning "valley or dale", was changed to Tal in the early 20th century, but the former spelling is often retained in English and always in scientific names, while the modern spelling is used in German. | | | The Neanderthals were fully bipedal and had a slightly larger average brain capacity than a typical modern human, though it is thought the brain structure was organised differently. |

| | The Piltdown Man Fraud |
| | However, it appears that Martin Hinton of the British Museum suspected that Piltdown Man was a hoax. | | | Many names have been put forward, and because all those involved in the discovery of Piltdown Man are now dead, it is virtually impossible to say with certainty who was actually responsible for this elaborate hoax. | | | At the time that the discovery of Piltdown Man was announced, it was believed that the remains of the Neanderthals that had been found in Germany were ape-men and it was believed that the cave paintings that had been found in France had been painted by ape-men. |

| | And it is impossible for Kennewick Man to have been an "ancestor of all of us," since his people, and very possibly he himself, were exterminated by the Indians. | | | The truth-hating mass media claimed that the Burke investigators had found the Kennewick Man to be "Asian," thereby suggesting to the uninformed that he was Mongoloid rather than Caucasoid. | | | Despite such obscurantist contortions, it is ridiculous to view the branch represented by Kennewick Man as somehow belonging to American Indians or as not being Caucasoid-like. |

| | Piltdown Man |
| | One possibility that could explain nearly all the contradictions was to suppose that a broken bit of modern ape jaw had been deliberately placed with the more ancient brain-case, and that to disguise its modern character and link it with he human brain-case, the bone had been suitably stained, and the teeth deliberately ground down. | | | The idea of a Piltdown Man at the end of the Ice Age was extremely difficult to understand, but the idea of a fossil ape of that age in England was equally impossible to accept. | | | Thus studies of the composition left no doubt that the Piltdown jaw was a bogus fossil, and this conclusion was supported by independent investigation of the anatomical aspects. |
