Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Softback Review Edition. In 1913 an amateur fossil hunter and antiquarian named Charles Dawson found in a gravel pit in England parts of the skull of an entirely new species of pre-human. The discovery, soon known as Piltdown Man, caused headlines worldwide trumpeting the claim that the evolutionary "missing link" between ape and man had been found. In 1953, using advanced techniques for dating fossils, a team of English scientists dramatically exposed Piltdown Man as nothing more than an amazing fraud, an ingenious but undoubted forgery. In this book, the author tells the complete story of the astonishing hoax, and convincingly exposes the true culprit. A final chapter explains in detail exactly how the entire affair was managed, offering a precise description of the planting and discovery of each of the fraudulent specimens. Filled with vivid portraits of Edwardian personalities, based strictly on documentary evidence, this book is a thoroughly absorbing detective story in which one of history's greatest frauds is finally solved. Illustrated with B/W photos. Couple of very slight creases to front cover.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. Academic, Scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.). Artikel-Nr. 020982
