Background:  Dr. Carl Werner, an award winning filmmaker, biologist, and physician (Summa cum laude, Biology, University of Missouri), traveled 175,000 miles through Africa, Europe, and South America, photographing the original ape-man (hominin) fossils at the top national museums (10,000 photos in all). After conducting interviews with many of the top human evolution scientists on five continents,* it became apparent that there was widespread fraud in the field of human evolution involving more than a dozen top scientists, national science museums, and universities. In all, 150 acts of fraud were documented including the most famous ape-men (hominins) ever known: Lucy, Homo Habilis, Neanderthal Man, Homo erectus, Australopithecus africanus, Australopithecus prometheus, Homo rudolfensis, Zinj, Turkana Boy, and many others. Most large natural history museums have many fraudulent ape-men (hominins) skulls and skeletons on display currently.  

​

In one interview, Dr. Ron Clarke from the University of the Witwatersrand accused his colleague Dr. Phillip Tobias of committing a fraud even bigger than the Piltdown fraud. He said, "The Piltdown forgery actually was very clever. The [Homo habilis] StW 53 forgery by Curnoe and Tobias was stupid!” In another interview, Dr. Robert Broom from the National Museum of South Africa reported that the famous human evolution scientist Dr. Raymond Dart gave him this advice: "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." (Dr. Dart carried out 35 frauds with the famous ape-man Australopithecus prometheus, which appeared in 2001: A Space Odyssey.) Another scientist, Dr. Paul Palmqvist, Professor of Paleontology from the University of Malaga, Spain, accused his colleague Dr. Jose Gibert of fraudulently altering a donkey skull drawing in order to pass it off as an ape-man. Yet another scientist, Dr. Alain Beauvilain, coordinator of Chadian paleontologic research in North Africa, accused his close colleague Dr. Michel Brunet of repeatedly lying about the circumstances of the discovery of the Touami skull and fraudulently hiding the associated femur found next to the skull.

​

The frauds were so numerous they necessarily were divided into four episodes of the miniseries:

Episode 5 covers the 20 ape-man frauds committed by scientists in North and South America. 
Episode 6 details the 60 frauds carried out by African scientists (Leakey, Dart, Broom). 
Episode 7 enumerates the 70 frauds carried out by scientists in Europe. 
Episode 8, the final episode of the miniseries, shows the frauds of Dr. Michel Brunet who discovered Toumai.
