This important new work explores how museums of human evolution developed in the USA, UK, and Australia in the late 19th century. This historical investigation also contributes to current debates, both on relationships between culture and society, and to the rapidly changing practices of modern museums as they seek to shed the legacies of both evolutionary conceptions and colonial science, with the goal of contributing to the development and management of cultural diversity.
