COMING SOON! A brand-new way to look at the science of the past...and how it affects our future.
De-Extinction: The Science of Species Recovery
Discover the wonders of the past...imagine the possibilities of the future.
This exhibition explores recent scientific efforts to bring back extinct animals or their attributes, including dinosaurs, Ice Age mammals (like mammoths and dire wolves), and recently perished species (such as dodo birds and Tasmanian tigers), discusses current limitations, and explores ethical considerations.
This exhibition is currently in development and is subject to change.
highlights:
Explore what extinction is, and what caused the demise of dinosaurs, Ice Age mammals, and recent organisms.
Investigate DNA and how it affects an animal's development.
Ponder why scientists want to recover ancient molecules or understand genes that influence embryonic development.
Discuss whether it is ethical to revive ancient features in living animals or fully bring back extinct species.
