Question

In ___ (year), fossils are discovered by ___ ___'s laborers at a gravel pit in Piltdown, England.

Answer 1

The Miltown Man was a fossil hoax discovered in 1912, consisting of bones claimed to be from an early human but later shown to be a fraud.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Miltown Man was a paleontological hoax in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilized remains of previously unknown early human. These bone fragments were discovered in 1912 by a worker digging at a gravel pit in Piltdown, England. The purported discovery was promoted by amateur archeologist Charles Dawson and was believed to be one of the most significant finds in the history of paleontology at the time.

However the Piltdown fossils were later exposed as a forgery, with the scientific community uncovering the truth in 1953 that the bones consisted of a medieval human cranium and an orangutan's jaw with filed-down teeth.
