1864 Fake Ancestor Jaw of Moulin Quignon
Plate III of the recovered jaw and cover from Boucher De Perthes "De La Machoire Humaine De Moulin Quignon". 1864. A famous forgery from Moulin-Quignon,near Abbeville in France,1863. Boucher de Perthes had unearthed flint tools which proved the antiquity of man,and offered a reward of 200 francs for any labourer who found human remains. In March 1863 a workman gave Boucher de Perthes a human tooth. Further excavation soon found a human jaw. The discovery of the Moulin-Quignon jaw became very famous. However doubts soon arose,particularly among British scientists who had supported De Perthes that handaxes proved men of such antiquity existed. Pioneering analysis of the organic content of the bone proved it fake. Boucher De Perthes never accepted it was a fake,but elsewhere scientists gave a sigh of relief that so damaging a forgery had been identified and dissmissed so early
