Polls have consistently shown that many Americans don't believe in evolution. In fact, many Americans mistrust science in general. In the May/June 2007 issue of Archaeology magazine, writer Zach Zorich describes the newly refurbished Hall of Human Origins at the American Museum of Natural History. At the end of the review, Zorich relates his conversation with a security guard who works in the Hall. The guard tells Zorich he believes in evolution "sort of" but not "all the way." He wonders why, if the theory of evolution is valid, do we still have monkeys? Zorich admits to feeling surprised by the guard's statement, but brushed it off as the inability of any one exhibit to answer all questions.

In the January/February 2007 issue of Archaeology, two statistics are highlighted—first, 49% of Americans don't believe humans evolved over millions of years; second, 51% believe humans and dinosaurs coexisted. Even working in an evolution exhibit fails to convince. Why? Perhaps because reconstructions of our presumed ancestors rely more on artistic license than facts. Complete skeletons of hominids are rarer than fossils themselves. The famous Lucy, an example of Australopithecus, bequeathed to us only 40% of her skeleton. The skeletons generally turn up in shattered bits spread out over a wide swathe of ground.
