Yes, the Piltdown Man was revealed to be a hoax. Discovered in England in 1912, it was initially hailed as a significant find in the study of human evolution, believed to be a link between apes and humans. However, in the 1950s, scientific testing, including fluorine absorption analysis, showed that the skull and jawbone were from different species and had been artificially altered. This revelation discredited the find and highlighted the importance of rigorous scientific scrutiny in paleoanthropology.
