Williams and Norgate, 1863.

Displayed are two pages from Huxley’s groundbreaking 1863 book on primate and human

paleontology, featuring views of the upper jaws of various primates, ranging from the Cheiromys (the

lemur-like Aye-Aye of Madagascar) to Man. Huxley’s point, explained on the facing page, is that “greatly as the dentition of the highest Ape differs from that of Man, it differs far more widely from that of the

lower and lowest Apes.”

The two photographs of a juvenile and adult male

chimpanzee are from a 1926 study by the German

anthropologist Adolf Naef. Of the former, he says,"[It] is the the most human-like picture of an animal, of any

that is known to me."

Composite reconstruction of Au. sediba based on recovered material from MH1, MH2, and

MH4 and based on the research presented in the accompanying

manuscripts. Because all individuals recovered to date are approximately the same size, size

correction was not necessary. Femoral length was established

by digitally measuring a complete femur of MH1 still encased in rock. For comparison, a small-

bodied female modern H. sapiens is shown on the left and a male Pan troglodytes on the right.

Com’è possibile che ci sia stato qualcunoche ha creduto all’uomo di Piltdown?

1) Le grandi speranze si impongono sulle prove2) I giudizi di valore hanno ripercussioni sulla teoria

3) Le aspettative portano gli scienziati a modificare i fatti4) Le procedure della comunità scientifica possono ostacolare la scoperta

Io penso che Teilhard abbia sofferto per Piltdown per tutta la vita. Penso che

debba aver pianto nel suo intimo quando vedeva persone come Smith Woodward […] rendersi ridicoli: proprio gli uomini

che gli avevano concesso la loro amicizia e che gli avevano insegnato tante cose […]. Teilhard pagò il suo debito e visse una vita piena; potessimo noi tutti farlo

altrettanto bene .

1979 1980 1981 1984

...io non ho alcuna intenzione di distruggere Teilhard...

Dopo essermi così alleggerito, procederò, nel formulare questa replica,

ignorando la maggior parte dei commenti personali e oltraggiosi rivolti contro di

me. Mi asterrò anche dal commentare il numero maggiore delle lettere di

appoggio e di amicizia, limitandomi a dire: “Molte grazie per aver capito quello

che volevo fare”
