L'Homme de Piltdown

Wikipédia :
Charles Dawson (1864 – 10 August 1916) was an amateur British archaeologist who is credited and blamed with discoveries that turned out to be imaginative frauds, including that of the Piltdown man (Eoanthropus dawsoni), which he presented in 1912. Dawson was often present at finds in the archaeological digs, or was the finder himself.

je n'ai pas trouvé, pour l'instant, la date de naissance précise, mais je pense que c'est à l'entrée de sa période critique septennale des 49 ans que Charles Dawson eu l'idée de découvrir l'Homme de Piltdown.
