In 1912, an amateur archeologist found a skull fragment and a jawbone in the English town of Piltdown. What was once thought as a ground breaking find turned out to be an elaborate fraud that misguided evolutionary biology for decades. Join us as we uncover the culprit behind the Piltdown Man hoax! Along the way we knight ourselves, find out how far English men will go to join the Royal Society and have a guest appearance by our boy, Mothman. Be prepared for bad English accents!
