Our Evolutionary Past: Branches through Time

What does our family tree look like?

How did we become... Us?!

Our Evolutionary Past: Branches through Time takes you on a unique journey through human evolution, and the fields of archaeology and bio-anthropology. By combining beautiful hand-painted artwork by Dunedin artist Bruce Mahalski, with insights into key advances such as bipedalism, manual dexterity, and interbreeding, you'll marvel at evolution's mystery and majesty.

Showcased on massive floor-to-ceiling digital projections in our Beautiful Science gallery, come and meet your ancestors, and explore the many weird and wonderful branches of our incredible family tree!
