Piltdown Man: mandible and skull compared

Ape-Man of Modern Man? The two Piltdown skull reconstructions. A page from the Illustrated London News, debating the merits of Dr. A. Smith-Woodward's reconstructions of the Piltdown Man's skull and mandible over the reconstructions proposed by Professor Arthur Keith and Dr. J Leon Williams. In 1953, the find proved to be a hoax; a combination of the skull of a medieval man, the jaw of an orangutan, and chimpanzee teeth. Date: 1913

A male orangutan waits at a feeding station at Camp Leakey in Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Kalimantan province, Indonesia June 15, 2015. Deforestation is the primary threat to the orangutan, a species of great ape known for its intelligence. The United Nations predicts that orangutans will be virtually eliminated in the wild within two decades if current deforestation trends continue. Picture taken June 15, 2015.
