THE HOAX OF THE CHADE

The Miss Yves Coppens finds in 1965, in Yayo, the north of the Chad, not in situ, a face of an «hominiidae» extremely rolled, with widened to occult the nasal orifices.

Yves Coppens described them as a new Australopithecus under the assignment of " Tchadanthropus ".

This vestige, excessively fragmentary, does not present the australopitheciidae characters and seems a recent form of retouched man,that as suggests the fauna and the flora formation who involved it, and he dating of C14 .

Dorothy Annie Elizabeth Garrod (1892-1969)

Anthropologist

Born in 1892, Dorothy Annie Elizabeth Garrod was the daughter of an English physician. She studied at both Newnham College Cambridge starting in 1913, and later Oxford University under Abbe Breuil, where she studied Paleolithic France. Garrod did fieldwork in England, Palestine, Kurdistan, Bulgaria, Gibraltar and Lebanon. She spent considerable time at excavations in the Near East, her most notable being twenty-two months at Mount Carmel. The Mount Carmel cave sites covered over two hundred thousand years of occupation. There she found thousands of stone tools and many Neanderthal skeletons. This excavation is regarded as a pioneering effort as no Neanderthal skeletons had been discovered outside of Europe till this time.

Garrod found the first Neanderthal skeleton from outside of Europe here, in addition to ninety-two thousand stone tools. The female Neanderthal’s skeleton led her to discover ten more, consisting of men, women and children. She was able to conclude that Neanderthals in Europe and the Near East existed at the same time, though the ones in Europe were more primitive. This, of course, caused some excitement (not all good), as it didn’t relate to the currently popular theory of linear evolution. Garrod studied the remains of fauna of various areas, and was able to relate them clearly to ancient climatic and ecological conditions. She made major advances in a number of areas, as well, including Paleolithic art, prehistoric migrations of man, prehistoric irrigation methods, prehistoric hunting techniques and others.
