Through the use quantitative and qualitative methods, involving detailed visitor studies, Scott provides rare insights into visitor perceptions at four world-class museums and makes a distinctive argument that audiences of human origins exhibitions 'make ancestral meaning' through a profoundly complex convergence of personal, political, intellectual, emotional and cultural interpretative strategies.
