The displays at the AMNH's Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins are amazing, doing a good job of placing Homo sapiens in the much deeper and broader context of our primate kin. This includes Neanderthals, of course, as well as the newly-discovered Homo floresiensis. Who else will be added to our family tree, I wonder, as science progresses?

John Noble Wilford's 2007 review of the hall for The New York Times does a good job of capturing the glory of this hall.
