it took OVER 40 YEARS before someone thought that piltdown man was a fraud.
So how did they determine that Piltdown Man is a fraud? Care to explain? From what I know, no one ever came forward and admitted that they faked it.

Yes, just like that fraud Galileo who had the gall to suggest that the Earth moved about the Sun and not the other way around.
