ANSWER: Yes, Dutchman Eugene Dubois falsified his studies which was a pretty common thing by unknown writers desperate to become published. It was eventually found out that he had gathered bones from an area and simply tried put them together, theorizing they made a skeleton. All the bones gathered were from completely separate bodies, some parts being from a human and another part from a Gibbon monkey. The Java Man discovery was as big a fraud as those who claimed they had found BIGFOOT hoping to uncover "The missing link". His primitive methods of science used only "measurements of bones and skulls" to create wild theory and his claims were backed up with colonial contacts in academics.
