Episode 7/8 Human Evolution Fraud in Europe

More than 150 acts of fraud have been carried out in the field of human evolution, and 70 of these were carried out by scientists working in Europe. The most famous evolution scientist in all of Europe, Dr. Ernst Haeckel, admitted in a newspaper article (Berliner Volks Zeitung) that he had committed a "few" frauds. In reality he committed 60. Another scientist, Martin Hinton, from the Natural History Museum in London, planted two fake ape-men at two dig sites in England (Piltdown). Another scientist in Spain altered the drawing of a donkey skull in order to pass it off as a new type of ape-man, the Orce Man. Yet another scientist, Dr. Marcellin Boule from the Natural History Museum in Paris moved the foramen magnum position on his Neanderthal skull and presented fraudulent comparison drawings of human bones. The public is not aware of most of these frauds and many are presented to the public for the first time in this miniseries.
