Description:
How Botany's "Piltdown Man" was unmasked. The story of Prof. Heslop-Harrison, a distinguished academic, who strengthened the evidence for his theory of ice-age plant survival by "planting" flora in places where it had never been found before, and then "discovering" it. John Raven believed that he had caught him red-handed on the Isle of Rum in the summer of 1948. The scientific community closed ranks and Heslop-Harrison continued to dominate British botany for the next decade.
