Did humans really evolve from apes?

It is believed that human beings evolved from apes for only over a hundred years, including not only evolution theory, but also primitive head fossils.

One of the most notorious scientific scams in modern history was once the treasure of the British Museum-Bell Dangren.

The fossil of Beltane was found in a gravel pit in Sussex, southern England in 19 12. The discovery of this fossil has aroused strong international repercussions, and people think that its excavation has filled the gap between apes and humans. These fossils are named after the village where they were found, called Beldangen.

These fossils are therefore talked about by the world. At that time, people thought that these fossils were 500 thousand years old. More importantly, it is considered to fill the gap between apes and humans in the process of human evolution. Fossil skulls are very large, like human brains, while mandibles are really like apes. Forty years later, it was discovered that it was actually the skull of a modern man and the mandible of an orangutan.

However, stringer of the Natural History Museum in London admits that it is not as old as people thought at that time. He said its teeth were flat, and now he knows it is the mandible of an orangutan. In addition, it seems to be deliberately dyed and looks very old, and its teeth are filed flat with a metal knife.

This fake fossil led scientists astray. Beltane's high forehead and developed chin further confirmed a misunderstanding that in the early stage of species evolution, human brains were very large.

However, some real ancient human fossils discovered in South Africa in 1925 were indeed rejected by Britain on the grounds that they were not like Bertain's fossils. It was not until more than 40 years later that scientists from Oxford and the British Museum used chemical tests to prove that Baitong's human fossils were a big scam.

However, in fact, someone guessed it long before this. As mcleod, a paleontologist at the Natural History Museum in London, said. At that time, the new scientific theory that human beings evolved from apes was very popular, so people were glad that they had lost the ability of objective reasoning in the face of the discovery that catered to the trend.
