What is the greatest scientific fraud of all time? It seems that they almost had to do with Charles Darwin. A few years back National Geographic had a essay of the well-known hoaxes of all tines. Darwin took the first place, and even the second was his.

National Geographic said that Piltdown Man  was the  number one.

What should we say to  Earnest Haeckel, whose drawing have inspired Darwinians for over 140 years?
