Dino-Devotion Season at the Grant kicks off with a cutting edge look at the dino-birds.
Contrary to popular belief, the dinosaurs did not go extinct 65 million years ago: one dino group - ¬ the birds - ¬ survived through to the present day, thanks to one of the most controversial and fascinating evolutionary journeys. Dr Matt Wilkinson will show how the latest discoveries of superbly preserved feathered fossils are telling us more and more about this extraordinary transformation, while raising some very perplexing questions.
Matt Wilkinson leads a double life as a zoologist and actor. His recent research work focused on pterodactyl flight, but he is now writing his first play about Darwin’s passionate ally, Thomas Henry Huxley and the meaning of evolution. Following the talk join us for a free glass of wine in a private view of the Museum.
