The University of Pennsylvania Museum has received a grant from the Philadelphia History Exhibitions Initiative (PHEI) to plan an exhibit on human evolution. The exhibit and associated educational programs will be produced and exhibited in Philadelphia and then travel to other venues across the United States. The working title for the exhibition is Being Human: A Design in Process. The University Museum contracted with Minda Borun, Museum Solutions, to conduct and interpret a series of focus groups with significant audience segments to assess their knowledge, preferences, and feelings about the subject of human evolution. The groups were also designed to uncover people's reactions to potential topics and experiences for the Being Human exhibit. This information is intended to guide the development of the Being Human: A Design in Process exhibit and educational programs. Discussion guides are featured in the appendix.
