In the late 19th/early 20th centuries the competition to find fossils of human's ancient relatives (and, for some, to prove racial superiority) was so fierce that one man went to great heights (or, rather, depths) to get his name in the annals of paleontological history.

On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin gathers round the campfire with the author of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Folk Tales Mike O'Leary.Mike has been a professional storyteller since 1995, and across the last almost 30 years has developed a real expertise in the folklore of Hampshire.Based in Southampton, a city which he's studied academically, as a Geographer, Mike has led a rich life that has seen him travel, live, and work, all over the UK.He's written several books, including Hampshire and Isle of Wight Folk Tales, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Ghost Tales, Hampshire Folk Tales for Children, Sussex Folk Tales, and The Pilgrimage of the Piltdown Man. But his career started out in nature. Having spent his early life in Scotland and several years in Bristol, he worked as a professional gardener and spent lots of time in some of England's wilder places, including the New Forest, which he knows particularly well. Later in life he then qualified to become a primary school teacher, while also telling stories to audiences of all ages and in a dizzying array of places, including in the sea, neck deep in the drink!One of the special things about Mike's storytelling style is that he likes to play tunes on his walking stick flute, a wonderful prop and instrument, but, as anyone who has read his books will tell you, his voice has wit and humour whether in person or on the page.So settle in for an hour of chat with a storyteller who knows Hampshire's stories as well as anyone, from knights and giants to ghosts to those ever elusive white deer...Learn more about Mike and his work here: https://www.facebook.com/MikeOLearystorytellerThe Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

Everything Everywhere Daily History Podcast

In 1912, a discovery was announced that shocked the world. A British paleontologist announced what was perhaps the most important find in the history of paleontology.  The announcement was about the discovery of a fossil, which was claimed to be the missing link between apes and humans.  It was a groundbreaking discovery that, if true, would rewrite what we knew about early humanity. Unfortunately, it was all fake. Learn more about Piltdown Man and what was perhaps the biggest scientific hoax of the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In 1912, English geologists and archaeologists were buzzing over the discovery of an amazing set of human remains recovered from a gravel pit outside the village of Piltdown. Amateur archeologist Charles Dawson had uncovered what looked to be Darwin's "Missing Link", the proof of human evolution. Thought to be 600,000 years old, Dawson's find - a fossilized human skull and a jawbone that looked much like an ape's - was immediately controversial and fascinating. On this episode, we're talking gravel, lost teeth, the long con, and why you should always get an expert to vouch for you. Sources for this episode include: "The Piltdown Man Hoax: Case Closed" by M. Russell, 2012 "Study reveals culprit behind Piltdown Man, one of science's most famous hoaxes", by M. Price for Science magazine, 2016 "Solving the Piltdown Man Scientific Fraud" by I.

The Piltdown Man, perpetrated by Charles Dawson in 1912, was hardcore academic gospel until new technology in the 1950s proved it to be a hoax - one manufactured to prove the ‘missing link' was English. Scientists in Japan have recently reported that one of many ‘mermaids', or Ningyo, found in the county were actually a sophisticated forgery from hundred of years ago. They were manufactured to convince people of the mystical creature's existence and possibly to sell health elixirs since, like the Unicorn, Ningyos are thought to possess magical powers. Other hoaxes carried out by charlatans today are no less a scam even if based on very real, or possibly real, things - consider all the fake alien, insider, and cryptid stories. As with mythology there is usually a basis for the fantastic in reality. When Europeans first saw the Flamingo, their reports were seen as fantastic stories of a cryptid creature. Sailors witnessing large squid told partly true stories of the kraken and when a women was in the ocean half under and half above the water she was therefore seen as half human and half fish - a mermaid. There is much more to myths, fairytales, and even hoaxes than absolutisms.

The Piltdown Man was a paleoanthropological fraud in which bone fragments were presented as the fossilised remains of a previously unknown early human. Although there were doubts about its authenticity virtually from the beginning, the remains were still broadly accepted for many years, and the falsity of the hoax was only definitively demonstrated in 1953. An extensive scientific review in 2016 established that amateur archaeologist Charles Dawson was responsible for the fraudulent evidence. Our theme song was written and performed by Anna Bosnick.

On today's ID the Future Casey Luskin hosts distinguished German paleontologist Günter Bechly to discuss Bechly's essay in the recent Harvest House anthology, The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith: Exploring the Ultimate Questions About Life and the Cosmos. Darwinian evolution predicts a gradually branching tree of living forms, with one form shading into another over long periods of evolution, with each transitional step almost too modest to notice. Does the fossil record suggest such a pattern? Quite the opposite, Bechly says. Instead the pattern of the fossil record is consistently one of sudden appearance, and evolutionists have yet to successfully construct a single robustly populated series of gradually transitioning fossils that move chronologically from one form to a distinctly different Read More › Source

This week aboard the Flagship of the Atheist Experience Network, Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver and August head for international waters. Of course, they begin at the official NP winter quarters, a small, but comfortable villa, up the Tiber from the Tyrrhenian Sea, not far from Ostia Antica, seaport of ancient Rome, itself. The skuttlebutt is that il Papa is singing some pro-LGBTQ shanties. A closer listen is warranted. They find that his tone is somehow off…hmmm. Having weighed anchor, these modern day Argonauts sail for what seems a lifetime, only to find themselves traversing the Sulu Sea (yes, the SULU Sea). Upon making landfall at Bataan Port, our intrepid crew surveys the Philippines' new ban on child marriage. About time they cheer! But what is this, they each descry through their looking glass? The expected: religious-types making a typical stink. Noted in the ship's log. Time to make waves…a fair wind blows them southwest along the coast to Borneo, west to Singapore, past the tip of India, through the Suez Canal, beyond the Straights of Gibraltar, hugging Portugal, Espana, and Frahhhnce, across the channel, skirting the eastern coast of England, and FINALLY laying anchor at the Port of Tilbury, in Essex, UK. Here, Captain Laura and the Bridge Crew stride the gangplank and inspect lowly Piltdown Man and his cobbled-together head. They've collected their shillings and shamble (their legs are not used to such stability) to the nearest pub, where over whatever drinks they elect, they confabulate a spell on the topic of that singular cohort: Gen Z: and how they do, and do not get together.

Neanderthals are an extinct species of archaic humans who lived to about 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals left Africa, while modern humans stayed behind. They interbred with an unidentified human species and then were ‘replaced' by modern humans. Neanderthals most likely went extinct due to interbreeding with homo sapiens, climatic change, disease, or a combination of all these factors.It's almost spooky month, get excited everyone!

This was due to the Piltdown Man and racism. Neanderthals true evolutionary history was not understood until as late as the 1960s. Yes, Neanderthals were physically built differently than modern humans, and yes, we interbreed.

We then look at the details of the Beijing Man discoveries, the funding by the Rockefeller Foundation, and the methods used by the people involved to popularize this discovery when it was only a couple of teeth.Again, it should be made clear that studying these discoveries through this book is not necessarily about trying to "disprove" evolution. It is about comparing the way the discoveries that supported the mainstream ideas about evolution were treated, versus the way that discoveries that did not support mainstream ideas, were treated.

The most notorious fraud in the history of Science is the focus of this week's Discovery. Exactly one hundred years ago, British scientists announced their discovery of fossilised skull and jaw bones of what appeared to be the earliest human – a species of humanity closer to our prehistoric ape ancestors than any found before it. In 1912 it was a sensational find. In 1953 it was revealed as a horrible hoax. Jonathan Amos talks to palaeontologists and archaeologists about the case of Piltdown Man and asks, could anything as scientifically scandalous happen today? He visits Chris Stringer, professor of human origins at London's Natural History Museum. The museum is putting the original fraudulent specimens on display after almost sixty years of being hidden in disgrace. Archaeologists Miles Russell and Matthew Pope discuss the prime suspect in the case and ruminate on his motivations.Could the world of human origins research be fooled by a hoaxer today?Producer: Andrew Luck Baker
