The Scientist is In

Dr. Alain Froment and Dr. Phillippe Mennecier (Musée de l'Homme) will discuss the temporary display of the original fossil skulls of Cro-Magnon (Homo sapiens) and La Ferrassie (Homo neanderthalensis) in the Hall of Human Origins. They will have casts of these fossil skulls for visitors to see, a new digitally printed reconstruction of the endocast of Cro-Magnon, and several videos showing CT-scanning of Cro-Magnon to create the new endocast.

Dr. Briana Pobiner (Smithsonian Institution) will be on hand to answer question about the new Hall of Human Origins.
