The famous Piltdown Man discovery occurred back in 1912, this was a hoax that lasted for 41 years until it was definitively exposed as a forgery in 1953.
The Piltdown Man fraud affected early research on human evolution immensely, as it led scientists down a never ending rabbit hole in the belief that the human brain expanded size before the jaw adapted to the new types of food.
