Experiencing Evolution

Large-scale evolution occurs over millions of years—which makes it hard for us to witness the process in our short lifetimes. Populations can change and new species can emerge ever so slowly.

Travel Through Time Interactive
Take a trip through time and experience 4.5 years of Earth’s evolution in the blink of an eye. Interactive murals and photo galleries let you create your own tour of Earth’s history where you’ll witness the origins of life, the appearance of dinosaurs, and the arrival of the first humans.


Additional Interactives:

Explore Bighorn Basin
Through this interactive map, you will be able to see a cross section of the Cretaceous rocks preserved in the Bighorn Basin and some of the fossils found in them.

Explore A Fossil Basin
Through this interactive map you can explore the fieldwork process undertaken by Dr. Lance Grande and his team in southwest Wyoming.

Explore Global Diversity
Travel around the world with Field Museum scientists in an interactive experience that lets you investigate our planet’s web of life.

To access the above features, you will need the Macromedia Flash Player 8 plug-in for your browser. Earlier versions will not function correctly.
