When you arrive at the Natural History Museum by Tube and walk from the underground station through the South Kensington subway, you’ll emerge into our new Evolution Garden. Your journey will begin in ...

The fossils are from two extinct species Brasilodon quadrangularis and Riograndia guaibensis each of them small creatures less than 12 inches long (but about the same size as the ...

We tend to see history and evolution springing from separate roots, one grounded in the human world and the other in the natural world. Human beings have, however, become probably the most powerful ...

Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years, appearing in the fossil record before trees even existed. But what did they evolve from, are they 'living fossils', and how did they survive ...

To explain the remarkable diversity of life histories among species we must understand how evolution shapes organisms to optimize their reproductive success. The principal aim of life history ...

The research utilized a Bayesian tip-dating analysis incorporating the fossilized birth-death process to estimate evolutionary relationships and timelines. This method enabled the time calibration ...

For most of the past two centuries, scientists were aware of two major groups on the pterosaur evolutionary timeline. On the oldest end, there were the non-pterodactyloids, which had a short head ...

Probably not. But to develop a better understanding of evolutionary change in its proper historical context, we must try. This timeline provides a framework for doing so. Geology Introduction ...
