18 December 1912: Piltdown Man claimed as evolutions missing link
Posted: December 18, 2014 at 3:41 pm
Piltdown Man: the skull of a human and the jawbone of an orang utan
Since the publication of Darwins On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists had been desperate to find the missing link that would prove that humans evolved from an ape-like ancestor
Then, in 1912, someone claimed to have found it in a gravel pit in Sussex.
Charles Dawson, a local solicitor and amateur fossil hunter, wrote to Arthur Smith Woodward at the Natural History Museum saying he had found pieces of a human-like skull. Smith Woodward rushed south, and joined the hunt. Soon, Dawson uncovered fragments of a jawbone. Smith Woodward used all the pieces to come up with a reconstruction of the skull , which combined an ape-like skull and jaw with teeth that looked decidedly human.
And so, on 18 December, Smith Woodward announced the discovery to a meeting of the Geological Society. He claimed eoanthropus dawsoni as he dubbed it was a 500,000 year-old predecessor of modern humans. The announcement caused a sensation.
But as time went on, more human fossils were found in other areas of the world, and none were quite like the Piltdown find. Scientists began to doubt their authenticity.
In the late 1940s tests were performed on the teeth; they were found to be no more than 50,000 years old.
Then, the skull and jaw were investigated more thoroughly, and found to come from two different animals one a human, and the other an orang utan. They also determined that the finds had been artificially aged.
In 1953, Piltdown Man was officially declared a fake a fake that had fooled scientists for 40 years. Nobody quite knows how did it or why. There are a few people in the frame, but the fact that no further evidence of the finds came after Charles Dawsons death in 1916, casts him firmly in the role of prime suspect.
That and his long record of scientific hoaxes.

A Sunrise Viewed From The Edge Of Space

On a commercial flight in October for its customers Tencent and Moon Express, World ViewExperience managed to capture a breathtaking video of the sunrise as seen from the edge of space, around 100,000 feet above the Earths surface.
World View, a spinoff of Paragon Space Development, is a space tourism startup that aims to take passengers high enough into the air over 100,000 feet to the edge of space where people are actually able to see the curvature of the Earth itself. The company will also be providing opportunities for companies and organizations looking to do research in the upper atmosphere.
The capsule itself is intended to be a luxury experience, featuring WiFi capabilities and an open bar. Passengers have no need to worry about their drinks floating away as there wont be any of the experience of zero-gravity. The capsule itself is lifted by a large balloon, which takes about an hour and a half to reach full altitude. The six passengers will then spend about two hours experiencing the Earth from that altitude before making the 40 minute return glide back to the surface.
World Views engineers recently made headlines as partof a joint project with Paragon that sent Google Google executive Alan Eustace on a record-breaking space dive. That project, World View CTO Taber MacCallum told me at the time, went a long way to helping develop the companys technology.
Right now, the company aims to begin flying in late2016. Tickets for flights are currently $75,000, and potential travelers arealready putting down deposits for tickets.
