Did you grow up wanting to be an anthropologist? Archaeologist? Wonder how humans "became human?" The Institute of Human Origins opens its doors for you to see and touch skulls and bones (casts) from different phases of human evolution and learn about how humans developed over "deep time"—the last six million years! Including the “founding fossil” Lucy, the 3.2 million-year-old Australopithecus afarensis discovered by Don Johanson in 1974, called “queen of hominin skeletons.” So, put on your best Indiana Jones hat and come explore anthropology!
