Piltdown Hoax On View -- The original piltdown remains on display at the museum. There is still no evidence to suggest that any particular person was responsible for faking the remains of the piltdown man. This was stated yesterday by Dr. G. R. De Beer, director of the British museum of natural history. From today the public can see for themselves evidence on which the scientists based their conclusion that the lower jaw of the piltdown man was an elaborate fake. December 03, 1953. P(Photo by
