From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Martin Alister Campbell Hinton (June 29, 1883 - October 3, 1961) was a British zoologist.
Hinton joined the staff of the Natural History Museum in 1921, working on mammals, in particular rodents. He became Deputy keeper of Zoology in 1927 and keeper in 1936, retiring in 1945.
Hinton is among those associated with the Piltdown Man hoax, a fabricated skull allegedly discovered at a dig in Piltdown, England, and presented as a missing link between man and ape.
