Ever wondered where your flesh, blood and bones really come from? How did humankind come into being? Skip the line to the bright, airy and eternally fascinating Musée de l'Homme in Paris and explore the evolution of our species.

You're about to enter a world of human beings. Beings of thought. Beings of social purpose and skill. Beings who create other beings all over this beautiful planet!

Evolutionary biology is the name of the game at Paris's Musée de l'Homme. Channel your inner Neanderthal and get involved! See 20 preserved animal brains, from a lizard's to an elephant's to, you guessed it, a human brain.

Get up close to 350 skulls and heads of real people. Some are real, some are made from plaster cast. And don't forget to get a coffee or lunch in the cafe – it boasts excellent views of the Eiffel Tower.

At the temporary exhibitions you'll have access to the ever changing galleries of thought-provoking exhibits.
