• Upon these fragile Piltdown fragments alone more than a hundred books, pamphlets, and papers have been written. 赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯. 世界史纲.
• As to the Piltdown jaw-bone, the best study of it is that by Smith Woodward, who first described it and the canine found later. 赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯. 世界史纲.
• The one point in the Piltdown jaw itself against chimpanzee identification is the smooth, flat, worn surface of the molars. 赫伯特·乔治·威尔斯. 世界史纲.
