Today is opening day for our Exploring Human Origins exhibit.
This Smithsonian traveling exhibition encourages a public conversation that focuses on multiple perspectives of what it means to be human — one that embraces the ideas and beliefs of non-scientists and fosters greater appreciation of the complexity of the science of human evolution.
Exploring Human Origins will inspire people to contemplate their place in the natural world and reflect on how human ancestors such as Homo neanderthalensis, Homo heidelbergensis and Homo erectus evolved to adapt in a variety of climates over millions of years.
Through panels, interactive kiosks, hands-on displays and videos, the exhibit invites viewers of all ages to explore and learn about the milestones in the evolutionary journey of becoming human.
The seminary will host the exhibit until November 15, 2024.
It is at the William S. Morton Library, on our Richmond campus.
This exhibit is free and open to the public during the library’s operating hours.
For all questions about the exhibit, please email one or all of the following:
Dr. Chris Burton, Program Coordinator & Director of the Leadership Institute, at chris.burton@upsem.edu.
Anna Colangelo, Marketing & Relationship Strategist, at acolangelo@upsem.edu.
Dr. Robin McCall, Seminary Librarian & Assistant Professor of Bibliography and Research, at rmccall@upsem.edu.
We hope that you will join us and come prepared to answer the question, “What does it mean to be human?”
