With this book, Matías Alinovi captivates us with lies of all time and goes one step further, to build a story that illuminates the dark side of science, its shadows, its most secret intentions.

The cold fusion, the perpetual motives, the Argentine origin of man ... this book contains a catalog of infamies where all the fraudulent stories have a place. A collection that includes the patriotic, megalomaniac, greedy and imaginary scam. But also the one that is not such, but that holds its perpetrator prisoner and blinds it until denying it to any evidence - there they are, in different degrees, Florentino Ameghino, and the champion of alternative evolution, Paul Kammerer. Although perhaps the most resonant history of this set of infamies is that of the man from Piltdown, with unsuspected revelations that bring this crazy British discovery closer to the coasts of Tierra del Fuego and its original inhabitants.

Why does someone commit fraud? What idea does science have who commits it? These ignoble biographies try to understand their motives and circumstances and, meanwhile, invite us to take a walk through the science that underlies the desired or random deception. In these stories of science that never came to be, reality and fiction, dreams, ambitions and the miseries of human beings are mixed.
