Ongoing Evolution ...
 

University Utrecht
February 13, 2009 – January 31, 2010

The “Ongoing Evolution” exhibit in the University Museum Utrecht is devoted to Darwin’s evolution theory. Darwin presented his theory 150 years ago in his book 'Origin of Species’. However, the battle to survive, described by Darwin, still continues today … on our plates, in our backyards, and in the human body.

The Rules of the Evolution Game at the Exhibition

In the University Museum, visitors of the exhibition learn about the rules of the Darwins evolutiontheory. If you have been dealt the right cards, or by sheer hard work, you will find out what the Survival of the Fittest involves. Tip 1: change is not necessarily progress.

This exhibit is one of the activities that mark the Darwin Year 2009.
