Come face-to-face with the skulls of half a dozen of our human ancestors and
examine some of their remarkable handiwork, much of it found in Africa, the
birthplace of humankind. Here are stone tools used between two million and 25,000
years ago, prehistoric works of art, and the re-creation of a Neanderthal burial
site. These treasures, however, tell only a fragment of the story of our human
origins--a story which grows richer and more complex with every discovery. Museum
curators are working on a new exhibit hall that will reflect the latest insights
into our beginnings.
