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.

The Commentary Magazine Podcast - Trump Makes His Move

Donald Trump is solidifying his case against Joe Biden, and it's eerily similar to Joe Biden's case against Donald Trump in 2020—there's chaos everywhere and the president is responsible. Polling suggests Trump has the better of the argument, especially since Democrats are split even on as basic an issue as opposing anti-Semitism. Give a listen.
