Abstract The New York Hall of Science developed an exhibition, The Evolution Health Connection, in order to help visitors understand the role of evolution in their everyday life, particularly in their health. The exhibition focuses on familiar health topics—obesity, skin color, lactose intolerance and health implications related to upright posture—and invites visitors to consider the relationship between natural selection and these health issues. In order to test the validity of the assumption that an evolution exhibition related to personal health could be effective, randomly selected visitors were assigned either to visit the evolution exhibition or an exhibition on astrobiology. Responses to post-visit interviews revealed that adult and youth visitors to the evolution exhibition had a better grasp of the role of natural selection in the prevalence of health issues than did visitors to the astrobiology exhibition.

进化健康连接——整合游客视角：进化教育的意义

摘要 纽约科学馆举办了一场名为“进化健康联系”的展览，旨在帮助参观者了解进化在日常生活中的作用，尤其是在健康方面。展览聚焦于熟悉的健康话题——肥胖、肤色、乳糖不耐症和与直立姿势相关的健康影响——并邀请参观者思考自然选择与这些健康问题之间的关系。为了检验与个人健康相关的进化展览是否有效这一假设的有效性，随机选择的参观者被分配参观进化展览或天体生物学展览。
