Up First from NPR - Biden Speaks On Protests, Google’s Antitrust Trial, Russian Neighbor’s Protests

After more than a week of silence, President Biden addressed the pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses Thursday seeking a balanced approach to a divisive issue. "Google" has been its own verb for years now, which the federal government argues is illegal. (The search engine, that is — not the verb itself.) And protests are engulfing the former Soviet republic of Georgia over a proposed "foreign agents law" that could move the country away from the west and toward Russia.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Piltdown Man Hoax

In 1912, a discovery was announced that shocked the world. A British paleontologist announced what was perhaps the most important find in the history of paleontology. 

The announcement was about the discovery of a fossil, which was claimed to be the missing link between apes and humans. 

It was a groundbreaking discovery that, if true, would rewrite what we knew about early humanity.

Unfortunately, it was all fake.

Learn more about Piltdown Man and what was perhaps the biggest scientific hoax of the 20th century on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
