You're standing at the Palais de Chaillot, in Paris's 16th arrondissement. Most of the Passy wing of this grand palace is home to the Musée de l'Homme, the Museum of Mankind. Big name, big ambition. The idea was to gather in one place everything that defines us as humans: how we evolved, how varied we are, and how we express ourselves.
