Early Human Skull Replicas

In 2017, Otis Library hosted the exhibit “Exploring Human Origins: What Does It Mean to Be Human?” in conjunction with the John Templeton Foundation, the American Library Association, and the Smithsonian Institution.

Five early human skull replicas were donated to the library’s collection for use by local teachers of public and private educational institutions for instructional purposes only. Rules for borrowing are linked below.
