How you can put evolution back into museums:

Here is the exhibit I want my zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo, to feature at the entrance:

Bronze replicas of a fish (in artificial pond), an early amphibian, an early mammal, an early primate, and several lineages of hominids, all arranged on top of bronze phylogentic "tree" inlaid into the sidewalk. Humans are not displayed, but their proper phylogenetic position is denoted by bronze footprints next to a plaque that says, "Stand here for photo op."
