Summary

In 1912, a discovery was announced that shocked the world. A British paleontologist announced what was perhaps the most important find in the history of paleontology. The announcement was about the discovery of a fossil, which was claimed to be the missing link between apes and humans. It was a groundbreaking discovery that, if true, would rewrite what we knew about early humanity. Unfortunately, it was all fake. Learn more about Piltdown Man and what was perhaps the biggest scientific hoax of the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
