Piltdown man


Piltdown man [Piltdown man] BrE NAmE
a type of ↑prehistoric human being that was believed to exist in ancient times. Piltdown man was ‘discovered’ when some bones were found in 1912 on Piltdown Common in southern England. It was later proved to be a trick, perhaps meant as a joke, when scientific tests showed that they were a mixture of modern human and ↑ape bones that had been treated to look ancient.
