Sherlock Creator Cleared Of Piltdown Man Hoax

Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has been cleared of hoaxing the scientific world with remains that were once believed to be the 'missing link' between humans and apes. The remains - which became known as the Piltdown Man - were unveiled at London's Geological Society and widely believed to be an ancestor of modern humans. When the remains were found to be a medieval human skull and ape's jaw some 30 years later, suspicion for the hoax fell on Sir Arthur.
