''' | '''Charles Dawson''' was a [[20th century]] amateur [[archaeologist]]. | ||
In [[1912]], he lived in [[Piltdown]] and found fragments of a [[skull]] in a nearby quarry. He believed it to be a missing link in the [[evolution]] of [[ape]]s into [[human|man]]. The [[First Doctor]], however, recognised it to be an alien skull. He, [[Vicki Pallister|Vicki]] and [[Steven Taylor|Steven]] soon discovered that the skull still contained consciousness of an alien [[female]] determined to make all [[male]]s suffer and eventually kill them. Unbeknownst to Dawson, the Doctor replaced the alien skull with a [[Piltdown Man|human cranium with an ape jaw attached]], knowing from history that this is what Dawson would present to the scientific community. | In [[1912]], he lived in [[Piltdown]] and found fragments of a [[skull]] in a nearby quarry.

Asked by Vicki | Asked by Vicki if Dawson's reputation would be destroyed when the forgery would be discovered, the Doctor replied that this would happen in forty years, already after Dawson's death. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Suffering (audio story)|The Suffering]]'') | ||
