Profile

Skeletons and dioramas are only half the story these days, especially when it comes to educating kids (and adults) with short attention spans. The museum's successor to the Hall of Human Biology and Evolution brings the latest science into focus: In one display, a cast of a Neanderthal skullcap discovered in 1856 sits beside a vial of regenerated Neanderthal DNA. — Stacia Thiel
