Our Presentations

Welcome to our flagship presentation, a comprehensive journey through the ages of life on Earth. Spanning over 540 million years, from the Cambrian explosion to the frigid ice age conditions of  the Pleistocene epoch, this presentation offers a sweeping overview of the evolution of life on our planet.

Through this presentation, we'll take you on a fascinating tour of the Geological Time Scale, showcasing fossils from every period, from the ancient trilobites of the Cambrian to the majestic mammoths of the Ice Ages. From the earliest signs of life to the emergence of complex ecosystems, our presentation provides a visually stunning and engaging exploration of the history of life on Earth.

This presentation is a thrilling journey for all dinosaur enthusiasts, exploring the fascinating world of these ancient creatures and their relatives. From the African T-Rex to the titanic long-necked dinosaurs, we'll delve into the Mesozoic era, a time when dinosaurs ruled the Earth.

We'll take a closer look at the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, uncovering the secrets of these ancient times. You'll discover the fascinating creatures that lived alongside dinosaurs, from early reptiles to giant marine reptiles. We'll also examine the differences between dinosaurs and other non-dinosaurian creatures, revealing the intriguing stories behind these prehistoric animals.

This presentation takes a journey back in time to the Pleistocene epoch, a pivotal period in Earth's history when majestic creatures like the woolly mammoth roamed the planet. During this era, which spanned from approximately 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago, the Earth was vastly different from what we know today. Glaciers covered much of the Northern Hemisphere, and the climate was much colder than it is now. Against this backdrop, fascinating creatures like the woolly mammoth, saber-toothed cats, and giant ground sloths evolved and thrived. This presentation will delve into the fascinating story of these prehistoric giants, exploring their habitats, behaviors, and eventual extinctions. By examining the Pleistocene epoch, we can gain a deeper understanding of the natural world and our place within it.

This presentation focuses primarily on human evolution. How did we get from a fish to a person? This presentation follows the lineage from fish, to tetrapod, to synapsid, to mammal, to human.

Please note, hominid fossils are exceptionally rare, so all hominid fossils presented are 3D printed or casts.

Join us as we explore the fascinating phenomenon of convergent evolution! In this presentation, we'll delve into the intriguing concept of how different species, often from distinct evolutionary lineages, develop similar traits or characteristics in response to similar environmental pressures. Through a series of captivating examples, we'll examine how various species have independently evolved similar features, such as:

• Flight

• Shells

• Swimming

• Limblessness

This presentation delves into the fascinating and often unsettling world of mass extinction events, examining the five most significant instances in Earth's history where vast numbers of species have vanished. We'll delve into the underlying causes of these catastrophic events, from asteroid impacts to climate shifts, and explore the complex interplay between geology, biology, and environmental factors.

But what about the future? Are we on the cusp of a sixth mass extinction event? As we face unprecedented challenges such as climate change, habitat destruction, and biodiversity loss, this presentation will also examine the warning signs and potential consequences of a global mass extinction event.

Join us as we explore the importance of understanding and mitigating these risks to ensure the long-term survival of our planet's incredible biodiversity.
