The Friends of Charles Darwin

As far back as the John Scopes' Trial of 1925, otherwise known as the "Monkey Trial," humans have questioned their evolutionary origins. Spearheaded by the efforts of Charles Darwin pinning religion against scientific discovery, the 20th century introduced a new approach for understanding our ancestry. As we enter the 21st century, after more than 75 years of international research and discovery, "Fossil Fragments: The Riddle of Human Origins," a new exhibit at the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, proves that the intrigue endures.
