Exhibition explores the complex relationships that link the smallest microorganism to the largest vertebrate and redwood tree. Their genetic relatedness is expressed in an immense evolutionary "Tree of Life," or phylogeny, that reveals the history of similarities and differences among the lineages of organisms as they have changed through time. Using specially commissioned films, multi-media interactives, and specimens both live and from the Peabody's collections, the exhibit demonstrates the full diversity of life and how one form of a species evolves into another through evolutionary time. On view through Feb. 22.
