Scientists have utilized several scientific methods to answer the question where did humankind come from and how did they evolve into present day humans. The Who Am I Exhibition explores two of these methods. LUCY: The Story of Human Origins, which explores the use of anthropologic findings and fossil casts and The Genographic Project Exhibition that explores the use of genetic/DNA scientific techniques in understanding the origins of humankind. And Genographic Project is a real-time research effort that uses DNA as a study tool to map how humankind populated the planet. The Project is open to members of the public to participate through purchasing a public participation kit from the Charles H. Wright Museum. Participants can also choose to donate their genetic results to the expanding database on the Genographic Web site (www.nationalgeographic.com/genographic). Call (313) 494-5807 for more information.
