From a single beginning, countless millions of stories from the
animal kingdom have - and continue to - run their course. Museum
objects allow us to investigate some of those stories. Animal
Kingdom journeys through both the evolutionary history of animals,
and the ways that people have interpreted them in museums. Animals
in museums are not only representatives of their entire species,
but they also tell us something about the time in which they were
collected. They provide windows into the past as well as data for
the present. They embody centuries of natural ecosystems and human
cultures. Through a selection of 100 objects, telling 100 stories,
this beautifully illustrated book explores the diversity of animal
life over the past 600 million years, and delves into some of the
most exciting mechanisms in evolution. By understanding some of the
key stories of how nature operates, we can gain amazing insight
into the systems underlying life itself.
