Piltdown Hoax Assignment
1. The Piltdown hoax was first established by the finding of "humanoid" remains in 1912 in the village of Piltdown in England. The amateur archeologist Charles Dawson made this discovery in a gravel pit by digging up a skull, and later on finding a piece of jaw bone that resembled an ape jaw with teeth in the weathered down pattern of a human. This finding lead scientists to believe that the remains predated the French, and German remains that were found in their respected countries.

People thought that there was a missing link when there wasn't, leading scientists to depict human evolution as a direct lineage to a primate one. This isn't the case as evolution is more of tree branches than a linked chain. The discovery was found to be a hoax 40 years later when science techniques had advanced and they had decided to find out how old the pieces of bone were. By m...
After decoding this DNA code I think it looks something like this:
ReplyDeleteCUUAUGCAGUGUCAUCUUGCAUUCAUUGGCGUAUCAGUCUAGCUU and it says, eat before sleep is bad for students like you and me.
Hello Ana, that is correct! Good Job!
ReplyDeleteGood code and good decode. Well done to both of you. The only variation I would suggest is adding "ing" to "eat" and "sleep", which makes more sense.
ReplyDeleteHere is my decode for reference:
