Write an essay based on your outline from Lesson 2. Your essay will be about the same topic: a famous hoax from history. Like the outline, it must include a thesis, main ideas, and evidence from credible sources. In this lesson, however, you will organize your content into paragraphs and add quotes and paraphrases from your sources. When you're done, your essay should be about 900 words, or roughly three double-spaced pages.
Your assignment should include the following elements:
• A thesis that makes a direct statement about the historical hoax you've chosen to explore
• Main ideas that support your thesis
• Evidence from at least three credible sources, including one source representing a different medium from the others
• An introduction and a conclusion paragraph and several body paragraphs
• Quotes and paraphrases from your sources that are cited correctly

Explanation:

The Piltdown Man hoax, which occurred in the early 20th century, was a notable example of the lengths to which people will go to deceive others and gain recognition in the field of science. The hoax involved the creation and presentation of fake fossil evidence of a previously unknown early human ancestor, which was dubbed the "Piltdown Man."

The Piltdown Man hoax was perpetrated by amateur paleontologist Charles Dawson, who claimed to have discovered the fossils in a gravel pit in Piltdown, England. Dawson presented the fossils, which included a skull and jawbone, to the scientific community as a major discovery that supported the then-popular theory of human evolution. The fossils were widely accepted and praised as a major scientific find, and Dawson was hailed as a hero.

However, the Piltdown Man hoax was eventually exposed as a fraud. In 1953, scientific analysis revealed that the skull and jawbone were not from the same individual and that the fossils were not as old as they were claimed to be. The skull was actually from a modern human, and the jawbone was from an orangutan. It was later discovered that Dawson had carefully crafted the hoax by altering and combining the fossils in order to fool the scientific community.

The Piltdown Man hoax was a major embarrassment for the scientific community, as it showed that even highly respected scientists can be duped by clever deception. The hoax also had far-reaching consequences, as it delayed the acceptance of the theory of human evolution and led to a proliferation of other fraudulent fossil discoveries.

According to the website History.com, the Piltdown Man hoax "was a turning point in the history of paleoanthropology, leading to increased skepticism and more rigorous methods of investigation." The website goes on to note that the hoax "also highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the use of multiple lines of evidence in the scientific process."

In conclusion, the Piltdown Man hoax serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of blindly accepting scientific claims and the importance of thoroughly verifying evidence. It also highlights the need for transparency and collaboration in the scientific community in order to prevent similar hoaxes from occurring in the future.

Read Abraham Lincoln's Letter to fellow Republican James T. Hale. In this letter, President Lincoln suggests a compromise with the South’s demands to keep the Union from falling apart.

Confidential. Hon. J. T. Hale Springfield, Ill. Jan'y. 11th 1861.

My dear Sir—Yours of the 6th is received. I answer it only because I fear you would misconstrue my silence. What is our present condition? We have just carried an election on principles fairly stated to the people. Now we are told in advance, the government shall be broken up, unless we surrender to those we have beaten, before we take the offices. In this they are either attempting to play upon us, or they are in dead earnest. Either way, if we surrender, it is the end of us, and of the government. They will repeat the experiment upon us ad libitum. A year will not pass, till we shall have to take Cuba as a condition upon which they will stay in the Union. They now have the Constitution, under which we have lived over seventy years, and acts of Congress of their own framing, with no prospect of their being changed; and they can never have a more shallow pretext for breaking up the government, or extorting a compromise, than now. There is, in my judgment, but one compromise which would really settle the slavery question, and that would be a prohibition against acquiring any more territory. Yours very truly, A. LINCOLN.

The terrible sliding stopped, and I hung silently against the slope. Three faint tugs trembled
the taut rope, and I hopped up on to my leg. A wave of nausea and pain swept over me. I was glad of the freezing blasts of snow biting into my face. My head cleared as I waited for
the burning to subside from my knee. Several times I had felt it twist sideways when my
boot snagged. There would be a flare of agony as the knee kinked back, and parts within
the joint seemed to shear past each other with a sickening gristly crunch. I had barely
ceased sobbing before my boot snagged again. At the end my leg shook uncontrollably. I
30 tried to stop it shaking, but the harder I tried, the more it shook. I pressed my face into the snow, gritted my teeth, and waited. At last it eased.

According to this excerpt from Emerson's essay "Nature," what is the greatest Delight that nature ministers or provides to man?

"The greatest Delight which the fields and woods minister, is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me, and I to them. The waving of the boughs in the storm, is new to me and old. it takes me by surprise, and yet is not unknown. Its effect is like that of a higher salt or a better emotion coming over me, when I deemed I was thinking justly or doing right."​

Life on the Mississippi
Mark Twain

1 THERE was no use in arguing with a person like this. I promptly put such a strain on my memory that by and by even the shoal water and the countless crossing-marks began to stay with me. But the result was just the same. I never could more than get one knotty thing learned before another presented itself. Now I had often seen pilots gazing at the water and pretending to read it as if it were a book; but it was a book that told me nothing. A time came at last, however, when Mr. Bixby seemed to think me far enough advanced to bear a lesson on water-reading. So he began—

2 "Do you see that long slanting line on the face of the water? Now, that's a reef. Moreover, it's a bluff reef. There is a solid sand-bar under it that is nearly as straight up and down as the side of a house. There is plenty of water close up to it, but mighty little on top of it. If you were to hit it you would knock the boat's brains out. Do you see where the line fringes out at the upper end and begins to fade away?"

3 "Yes, sir."

4 "Well, that is a low place; that is the head of the reef. You can climb over there, and not hurt anything. Cross over, now, and follow along close under the reef--easy water there--not much current."

5 I followed the reef along till I approached the fringed end. Then Mr. Bixby said--

6 "Now get ready. Wait till I give the word. She won't want to mount the reef; a boat hates shoal water. Stand by--wait--WAIT--keep her well in hand. NOW cramp her down! Snatch her! snatch her!"

7 He seized the other side of the wheel and helped to spin it around until it was hard down, and then we held it so. The boat resisted, and refused to answer for a while, and next she came surging to starboard, mounted the reef, and sent a long, angry ridge of water foaming away from her bows.
