Three suspects behind the Piltdown Man fossil hoax

I have presented a scenario in which De Chardin knew that a certain Edgar Willett was the main perpetrator. Willett was a retired medical man, trained in Oxford. He had been a curator of a museum at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, had a knowledge of anatomy and had access to unusual human skulls. In early retirement he lived near Piltdown. Notably, he had assisted with excavations at the Piltdown site in 1912. By 1913 he had apparently become a member of an “inner circle”.

Tom Harrisson informed Oakley that some orangutan specimens collected by Everett would have gone to “dealers” . Thereafter such material would have been distributed to private collectors. In 1920 De Chardin wrote his only publication on Piltdown, in which he mentions that the condyle hinge-joint of the orangutan jaw was broken “as if on purpose”. Without this critical condyle, it would not have been immediately obvious that the ape jaw did not articulate with a human skull. In 1920, nobody at the time had as yet suspected a forgery, but in this short phrase we see the hint of a hoax.

Three nabbed in R254m KZN drug bust case, released on R30k bailThree people implicated in a R254m drug bust were arrested this week, almost four years after the Hawks discovered a huge clandestine drug-manufacturing laboratory, window-dressed as a farm, in Harding on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast. Why do they give them bail? So that they can go back to sell the drugs? This country is beyond control and thus why drug dealers,scammers and murderers referred to this country as a Centre stage to launch their shit jobs!! Can someone please tell me how bail is calculated? I always hated bitcoin and thought it was a scam, till I met Helen_Truss , I made my first successful withdrawal of R700,000 thanks to Helen_Truss now am financially stable..
