Evolution & Genetics
How do species change over time? Sometimes they become so different they get reclassified as a new species, so what’s happening there? Discover how adaptations through genetic mutations and natural selection allow such unique biodiversity in Australia. Students can learn about speciation, convergent and divergent evolution, all while observing evidence of these in our awe-inspiring animals.
