In Search of History

The Piltdown Man (1997x12)

Data di messa in onda: Ott 17, 1997

This In Search of History program travels back to 1912, to the town of Piltdown, East Sussex, England, where workmen digging a gravel pit uncover a collection of bones which seem to confirm Darwin's theory of evolution and provide the "missing link" in the evolution of man. In reality, the Piltdown Man is perhaps the most famous archeological hoax of all time, confounding scientists for decades.
