Ocre Man. Yet another fake propagated on your kids in order to deceive them. Are we supposed to believe such confused scientists? On May 14, 1984, the *Daily Telegraph, an Australian newspaper, carried the story of the latest hoax: “ASS TAKEN FOR MAN” was the headline. A skull found in Spain and promoted as the oldest example of man in Eurasia, was later identified as that of a young donkey! A three-day scientific symposium had been scheduled, so that the experts could examine and discuss the bone which had already been named, Orce Man, for the southern Spanish town near which it had been found. The French caused problems, however. Scientists from Paris showed that Orce Man was a skull fragment of a four-month-old donkey. The embarrassed Spanish officials sent out 500 letters canceling the symposium.
