The tour allows visitors to appreciate all the most important parts of the museum, with the most significant stages in the evolutionary history of the planet and biodiversity.

We are living in ‘the age of mankind,’ where, for the first time in Earth’s history, a single species has the ability to influence the environment to such an extent, for better or for worse, that it has become the primary driver of change. This route explores the relationship between humans and nature from its origins in prehistory to the contemporary crisis we are facing today. It delves into issues ranging from resource exploitation to the biodiversity crisis and climate change. Nevertheless, all hope is not lost. We will discover that, through knowledge and awareness, we still have the ability to change course.

It is often thought that Evolution by Natural Selection is a ‘theory’ because there is no evidence for it. However, this is not the case, and the collections of the Museum of Nature and Humankind prove otherwise. A tour of the Museum, tailored to suit the language and approach according to different school ages, shows how planet Earth is constantly changing and how living beings of the past and today have adapted over time to survive and reproduce. Our species is no exception: evidence of human evolution and its peculiarities are presented.
