    Hello Raviji!
    Great to see another wonderful article by you.  An enlightening read, and I learnt some new words, like Paleontologist. Although I know, what it means, but this word is new to me. Interesting information and references.
    As always, a unique and excellent article.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Interesting read as always, Ravi. Thank you so much for sharing.

    HubPages just flagged my poem today saying it is a duplicate content. Thanks to Beth, she shared a link to the website where my poem was copied. I also discovered this article of yours there. Here’s the link: https://   acpeo.com/2022/02/26/the-fascinating-hoax-of-the-piltdown-man/ (please remove the Gap from URL to make it Live)

    Take some action before HubPages flag your article and unpublish it. smile

    Thank you so much, Chitra Di, for sharing Ravi’s work smile

    Blessings to both of you!

    This is a very fascinating story Ravi. Palaeontology can be very interesting, but I am glad they discovered that the Piltdown man was  fake.

    Thanks for posting this story Chitrangada.

    I remember my father telling me about the Piltdown Man when I was a child, but I don't remember the details. Thank you for sharing the information, Ravi. Your article is interesting as well as informative.

    Thanks Ravi for writing about this historic hoax.  It is a shame that some people will go to extraordinary lengths to gain fame.  In this case, it backfired, but it set science back for a time. Thanks Chitrangada for sharing this article.
