Dear Sir or Madam,

I thought you might be interested in the following information.

Evidence
How Do We Know What We Know?
New Exploratorium Web Site Reveals How Science Works
Current Research in Human Origins at
The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Is the Focus
www.exploratorium.edu/evidence Launches August 18, 2008

In the media blitz of everyday life, how often do you hear about new ideas
and discoveries in science? Do you believe what you hear? What you read?
What you see? On August 18, 2008, the Exploratorium introduces Evidence: How
Do We Know What We Know? (www.exploratorium.edu/evidence), a
thought-provoking new Web site that looks at the role of evidence in science
and society.

Evidence premieres with a case study in human evolution that features the
work of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
in Leipzig, Germany. Researchers share their knowledge and insights in
dozens of streaming videos, podcasts and online interactives, and let you
explore for yourself: See how DNA is extracted from a 38,000-year-old
Neanderthal bone; find telltale microscopic markings on fossil teeth;
analyze a peer-reviewed paper; manipulate computer models of ancient fossil
skulls‹and much, much more.
