Human Origins

Now it's time to walk through our history. With the advent of Darwin's Theory of Evolution we came closer to discovering the history of humans. Our exhibit here shows the evolution of humans over the last 3 million years. We learn more about this a fascinating journey with every new discovery.

Fossils found in the last 90 years give us a clearer understanding of our journey from a species similar to today's chimpanzees to the  advanced species we see today. Have a look through the exhibit and learn more about your history.

Next you'll move on to the Mammal Hall. Let's see how our cousins evolved over the last few million years.
