In 1912 Charles Dawson, an amateur archaeologist claimed to have discovered the ‘missing link’ between ape and man. Now this is a story that I have briefly mentioned in one of my videos 7 celebrity fossil. Do check that out. In this video, we are going to dive a little deeper and see what became of this acclaimed missing link.
It all began in 1912, when a British archeologist named Charles Dawson wrote to London's Natural History Museum claiming to have discovered the missing evolutionary link between apes and humans in a fossil he had dug up in Piltdown, Sussex.It was given the scientific name Eoanthropus dawsoni, which roughly translated as Dawson’s Dawn Ape. It was also known by many as the Piltdown Man.
English scientists had determined that they were most likely to uncover a British early man in the Pleistocene gravel pits in Southern England. One day, Dawson saw that some gravel had been excavated to build a pond in Piltdown, Sussex. He became fascinated with the spot and set up investigations
