Description
The Jaw of the Piltdown Man is a book written by Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. in 1915. The book is a scientific analysis of the Piltdown Man, a supposed early human ancestor whose remains were discovered in 1912 in England. Miller Jr. was a renowned American zoologist who was tasked with examining the jawbone of the Piltdown Man, which was one of the key pieces of evidence used to support the theory of human evolution.In the book, Miller Jr. provides a detailed description of the Piltdown Man and its significance in the field of paleoanthropology. He examines the jawbone from a variety of angles, including its physical characteristics, its relationship to other early human fossils, and the implications of its discovery for the study of human evolution.Miller Jr. also discusses the controversy surrounding the Piltdown Man, which arose in the 1950s when it was revealed to be a hoax. Despite this revelation, the book remains an important historical document in the study of human evolution, providing insight into the scientific methods and theories of the early 20th century.Overall, The Jaw of the Piltdown Man is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of human evolution and the development of scientific theories.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
