It wouldn't have done a very good job. It was actually through evolution - and the Piltdown fossil's inconsistency with it - that the fraud was discovered. Had Piltdown been a legitimate find - an actual hominid fossil - it would have destroyed evolution as we know it.
Mind explaining to me what's going on with this? I know next to nothing about piltdown.

Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!
