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.
