Historical Scientific Hoaxes
Piltdown Man: A famous 1912 hoax where a skull and jawbone were claimed to be the "missing link" between apes and humans; it was exposed as a medieval human cranium and orangutan jaw in 1953.
Archaeoraptor: A 1990s fossil hoax presented as a dinosaur-bird transition, later revealed to be a composite of a theropod tail and an ancient bird.
Cardiff Giant: A 19th-century plaster giant marketed as a biblical artifact, created as a prank on fundamentalist ministers.
