So Who Did Plant Piltdown?
Saturday, 15 November,
Midday, repeat Monday, 17 November, 7pm
20th November is the 50th anniversary of the startling
revelation about a key scientific discovery: Piltdown Man,
regarded as the missing link in Darwin>s evolutionary chain,
was exposed as a fake. Chris Stringer at the Natural History
Museum in London shows us the notorious skull and suggests
who may have perpetrated the hoax in 1912 and bamboozled
the scientific establishment. Dr Stringer>s suspects are
rather different from Jim Leavesley>s in tomorrow>s
Ockham>s Razor.
