This Smithsonian traveling exhibition encourages a public conversation that focuses on multiple perspectives of what it means to be human — one that embraces the ideas and beliefs of non-scientists and fosters greater appreciation of the complexity of the science of human evolution.
Exploring Human Origins will inspire people to contemplate their place in the natural world and reflect on how human ancestors such as Homo neanderthalensis, Homo heidelbergensis and Homo erectus evolved to adapt in a variety of climates over millions of years.
Through panels, interactive kiosks, hands-on displays and videos, the exhibit invites viewers of all ages to explore and learn about the milestones in the evolutionary journey of becoming human.
