The Museum of Human Evolution, also known by its acronym MEH, is located in the Spanish city of Burgos and has been designed by the architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg.
The original hominid fossils found in the Sierra de Atapuerca are, without a doubt, the main attraction of the Museum of Human Evolution, an essential visit to learn about the latest theories about the origin of our species. This modern exhibition space, the work of the architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg, exhibits everything from the remains of Homo antecessor, a species whose existence dates back nearly a million years, to the numerous finds of Homo heidelbergensis.
