Nevertheless the article you linked to is poorly researched, and out of date. The claim that all the evidence for the evolution of man could be fit into one coffin is simply wrong. First, fossil evidence is not the only evidence for the evolution of man. Cardinal Newman wrote, "It is as strange that monkeys should be so like men, with no historical connexion between them, as that there should be no history of facts by which fossil bones got into rocks." DNA is also evidence for that.

Leaving aside these other kinds of evidence for the evolution of man, however, even the human and humanoid fossils are far greater in quantity than asserted. See Prominent hominid fossils, a list of just some of them, yet even this selection is more than enough to fill a coffin. It is also a poor choice to quote Lyall Watson in support of a claim regarding the fossil evidence, since his work and writings were not in the field of paleontology, but in botany, zoology, anthropology, and new age.

The Guadeloupe skeleton and the Calaveras Skull, mentioned as examples of modern humans found in (according to evolutionary theory) older layers, were hoaxes or practical jokes.

The statement about how scientists treat evidence of great discrepancies is to some extent valid. When a new piece of evidence is greatly contrary to a well-established theory, they are rightly somewhat suspicious that it is a hoax… but they do not simply assume that, or simply ignore the evidence. In the case of the Piltdown man, the fossil was in some cases used to form particular tentative hypotheses, despite the fact that the fossil did not fit very well with the common evolutionary theory–which turned out to be because it was a hoax. (Note that because the majority of evidence pointed in another direction than the Piltdown man, this hoaxed fossil had only a limited effect on theories.)

The handling of the fossil evidence in this article also seems to show a misunderstanding of the theory of evolution. According to the theory of evolution, one would expect very few fossils to represent direct ancestors of present living beings; most of them would represent various relatives of the ancestors of present living beings.
