Exploratorium: How Do We Know What We Know?

To some, science may seem neat and tidy. Of course, scientists know better, and taken as a whole, the process of doing science is often quite messy. This fascinating interactive website created by the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco takes on the task of observation and investigation into human origins. The interactive exhibit and feature contains five primary sections, including "Observing Behavior", "Collecting Clues", and "Finding Patterns". Each section begins with an introductory essay and a selection of video clips featuring interviews with various scientists discussing their research and work. The subjects covered here are quite broad and they include fossil analysis, the evolution of primate behavior, and using new technologies to learn more about humans from their teeth. Finally, visitors will want to listen to a few of their podcasts. It's worth noting that the site is also available in Spanish.
