Piltdown Man

Description

This Is A Touched Up .Stl Version Of The Original .Ply Version Available Here: Https://Sketchfab.Com/Models/C3B96F7065C442Bc9Cb9Acc7223Acda2 The Piltdown Man Was "Discovered" By Amateur Archaeologist Charles Dawson In 1912, And Was Widely Accepted As A Missing Link Between Humans And Apes. The Fossil, As Well As Much Of Dawson'S Work, Was Posthumously Proven To Be A Fake In The 1950'S. The Jaw(Not Provided Here) Came From An Orangutan, And The Skull Fragments Came From A 15Th Century Human. Because Of This Hoax, Paleontologists Falsely Believed For Decades That The Human Shaped Brain Case Was The First Feature Which Homonids Developed, Rather Than A Human-Like Face.
