You are both right of course. But, as you so eloquently alluded to, TGS, Shayne got there first. Dawson discovered Piltdown Man in 1912. It wasn't until 1953 that it was absolutely proven to be a fake.
I should add that it has not been proven that Dawson was the faker, but there does seem to be a lot of evidence that points that way.
You're up, Shayne.
