Displayed are two pages from
Huxley’s groundbreaking 1863
book on primate and human
paleontology, featuring views of the
upper jaws of various primates,
ranging from the Cheiromys (the
lemur-like Aye-Aye of Madagascar)
to Man. Huxley’s point, explained
on the facing page, is that “greatly
as the dentition of the highest Ape
differs from that of Man, it differs
far more widely from that of the
lower and lowest Apes.”

Com’è possibile che ci sia stato qualcuno
che ha creduto all’uomo di Piltdown?
1) Le grandi speranze si impongono sulle prove
2) I giudizi di valore hanno ripercussioni sulla teoria
3) Le aspettative portano gli scienziati a modificare i fatti
4) Le procedure della comunità scientifica possono ostacolare la scoperta

Io penso che Teilhard abbia sofferto per
Piltdown per tutta la vita. Penso che
debba aver pianto nel suo intimo quando
vedeva persone come Smith Woodward
[…] rendersi ridicoli: proprio gli uomini
che gli avevano concesso la loro amicizia
e che gli avevano insegnato tante cose
[…].Teilhard pagò il suo debito e visse
una vita piena; potessimo noi tutti farlo
altrettanto bene .

77. 1979 1980 1981 1984
...io non ho alcuna intenzione di
distruggere Teilhard...
Dopo essermi così alleggerito,
procederò, nel formulare questa replica,
ignorando la maggior parte dei commenti
personali e oltraggiosi rivolti contro di
me. Mi asterrò anche dal commentare il
numero maggiore delle lettere di
appoggio e di amicizia, limitandomi a
dire:“Molte grazie per aver capito quello
che volevo fare”
