Bone Rooms
Bone Rooms: From Scientific Racism to Human Prehistory in Museums | Samuel J. Redman
1 post | 2 read | 4 to read
In the bone rooms of the Smithsonian Institution and other museums in the late nineteenth century, a scientific revolution was unfolding, as collectors engaged in a global competition to recover the best human skeletons, mummies, fossils. Study of these remains led to the discrediting of racial theory and the search for human origins and evolution.
