Scientific Malfeasance

So, you say you're convinced that fossils prove that man evolved from ape-like ancestors. Well, before you write out the intellectual check you might want to read these stories about anthropological dishonesty.

The first is about how a world renown expert in carbon dating has been fudging the ages of old bones. The second is about how perhaps the most famous researcher in human evolution, Louis Leakey, has been discovered to have manipulated one of his most important finds to make it look human.

It all makes you wonder what other evidence for human evolution has been fabricated.
