I'm off to look for the scientific paper...hopefully I'll find more info.
I believe you're thinking of Piltdown Man, and it wasn't so much to prove human life originated in England, but that there was a "missing link". It was a human skull with an orangutan jaw. Piltdown I fragments were first discovered in 1912, and Piltdown II in 1915 by Charles Dawson.
