Darwin Today is part of our celebrations for Darwin's 200th birthday this year. The exhibition features five groups of colourful graphic panels giving an insight into the huge impact of the great scientist’s ideas.

You can explore interactive games to find out about human origins and evolution in the future; Darwin’s impact on science in food, medicine, plants and animals, biodiversity and society.

The exhibition also looks at:

  • Extinction – what should we do about it?
  • Climate change and natural selection.
  • Economics – survival of the fittest?
  • Why have leaders evolved?
  • Is there life on other planets and what might it look like?

There are more photos of the exhibition on our Darwin Today Flickr set.
