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.

Industry Reviews

"Sure to be a major intervention in museums and cultural studies...an important and provocative text....I expect this book to be as important as Birth of the Museum, which is saying something." - Ivan Karp, Emory University

'Sure to be a major intervention in museums and cultural studies ... an important and provocative text ... I expect this book to be as important as Birth of the Museum, which is saying something, since that work is the outstanding study of how museums and the public cultural sphere have developed.' - Ivan Karp, Emory University
