ROMSpeaks Nature: Dawn of Life Lecture Series -- Mass Extinctions, Missing Links & Extra-Terrestrials

Spanning over four billion years, the history of life on Earth is fascinating and complex. From the Burgess Shale to Mistaken Point, life has evolved, diversified, and survived, leaving a trail of fossils and evidence in its tracks. Navigate the big questions and make sense of the important answers as the ROM takes you on a journey to the dawn of life.

How does the treasure trove that is the fossil record help us to understand the history of life on Earth? How could the study of evolution help humanity unravel our place in the cosmos? Delve into life's big questions with palaeontologist Simon Conway Morris of Cambridge University and Fellow of the Royal Society.
