Wed, February 12, 2014 10:00 AM - Sun, February 23, 2014, 5:00 PM BEATY BIODIVERSITY CENTRE. Did you know mushrooms are more related to animals than plants? The tree of life is filled with intriguing connections and links, thanks to natural selection. Diversity on the planet is guided by the principles of natural selection and evolution, made famous by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace.
Join us in celebrating the theories, the people who introduced the world to these concepts, and the evidence of evolution through the fossil record. Museum tours, activities, and crafts will have an evolutionary focus, including creating your own fossils, DNA extraction demos, and touring our neighbour, the Pacific Museum of Earth.
All FestEVOLVE activities are appropriate for a variety of ages.
