| AdminHistory | At the time of this letter Keith was 78 and Broom 77. Keith was an anatomist who made several important discoveries in that field, but is mostly remembered for his work at Piltdown in association with the amateur antiquarian Charles Dawson. Keith worked at the site and reconstructed the skull. The letter to Broom was written about a decade before the exposure of the Piltdown hoax, but the phrase 'for secrets relating to skeletons in the human cupboard' will catch the attention of those who suspect Keith as the mastermind behind it. |
