Abstract
Many studies find that the so-called objective field of human evolution is anything but objective - bias is common, and cases of corruption and fraud have been documented. Well-known examples include Piltdown man and Hesperopithecus, but many other examples exist. One of the best-known examples of greed, revenge, and open frauds involved the war between Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh in the bone war of the late 1800s (Wallace, 1999).
