Who were the first humans? When and where did they live? What did they look like? Fossils like the ones displayed in the hall, along with results from DNA studies, give us tantalizing clues about the earliest members of the human family, called hominids. We now know that the first hominids lived in Africa, most likely around six or seven million years ago. They probably walked upright when on the ground but still spent much of their time in trees.

Ok, you really need to check this out. It is a simulatory of how radioactive dating works. Once you download this java app click on the tab on the right that says "Dating Game." Have fun using radioactive dating to estimate the age of these fossils, bones and artifacts!
