→The article presently needs to back up its claims with citations/links
A citation is definately needed for this line "The Piltdown Man was publicized as the "Missing Link" between man and ape-like species, which eluded (and still eludes) promoters of evolution." because there are fossils that link homo sapiens and the great apes, just like there are transitional fossils between homo habilis and neaderthals. As well, "Like similar artifacts purporting to prove evolution today, there was no independent or public scrutiny of the actual materials" this is quite the bold statement to make since many scientists examine the same fossils for their research ie "lucy", this absolutely needs a citation (credible one) if it is to have any merit. -shoe

:It's pretty clear that Lucy was just an ape. I don't have any issue with transitionals between us and Neanderthals though. After all they were stronger than us and IIRC had a braincase 10-15% larger. Doesn't that sound like degeneration? Maybe Noah was a Neanderthal and could build such a large wooden boat because he simply had a better brain than us. I'm sure we all accept that a lot of speciation happened since the flood, so why not evolution (more like devolution really) from Neanderthals to us? --[[User:JMairs|JMairs]] 19:18, 21 August 2011 (EDT)

Since the article is categorized under "Theory of Evolution and Cases of Fraud, Hoaxes and Speculation", there's no need to also have it categorized under "Hoaxes". The first is a subset of the other. Thanks [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 16:46, 20 September 2007 (EDT)
