Evidences of a greater complicity in the Piltdown Man fraud by promoters of the theory evolution, beyond the original hoax perpetrators, come from the doubts expressed among evolutionists in rarely read publications while they continued to support Piltdown Man in public. For instance, in 1922, evolutionist William King Gregory stated in a highly technical book<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC03040525&id=EyF3qtMDRlgC&pg=RA2-PA351 ''The Origin and Evolution of the Human Dentition''], William King Gregory, 1922, p. 351.</ref> that as early as 1914 he had doubts, shared by colleagues, about whether the jaw and teeth were associated with the braincase. That same year, a book aimed at the popular market was depicting elaborate fabrications about the daily life of Piltdown Man, giving him an assortment of tools, a wife and child, and tigers to fight.<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC02561355&id=L0sDgL6sPh4C&pg=RA1-PR51 ''Everyday Life in the Old Stone Age''], Charles Henry Bourne Quennell, 1922, p. 51.</ref>

In 1934 Louis S. B. Leakey wrote in "Adam’s Ancestors" that 'Piltdown' was likely not as old as claimed, and was certainly not very interesting, though he stopped short of calling it fraud.

IN 1950 it was shown <ref>[http://www.clarku.edu/~piltdown/map_expose/radioactivedating_piltdown.html] by the fluorine method of relative dating that the Piltdown mandible and cranial bones were considerably younger geologically than the Lower and Middle Pleistocene fossils said to have been found at the same site.
