The Piltdown Forgery.
London: Oxford University Press, 1955. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition / Good Condition. Item #376022
Weiner's Piltdown Forgery (1955) is the landmark account that finally exposed the Piltdown skull as a deliberate hoax. Drawing on chemical tests, anatomical comparison, and newly uncovered documentation, Weiner reconstructs how the forged remains were assembled, why they deceived scientists for decades, and how the evidence ultimately proved the fraud. Clear, methodical, and historically decisive, the book stands as the definitive narrative of the case and the moment modern scientific scrutiny overturned one of anthropology's most persistent problems. 12 pages, errata slip, 214 pages, with 9 plates. Original boards, gilt lettered, with a worn dustwrapper. Size: 12.5 x 19.5 cms. Category: Varied Books; New Arrivals.
