Questioning Evolution? Evolving Answers!
Mon 18 Jan 2010
To celebrate the work of Charles Darwin, Conkers is proud to host Questioning Evolution? Evolving Answers! an exhibition illustrating the importance of evolution to plants.
The exhibition explains how:
- Evolution makes the most of simple systems to produce the huge diversity of plants in nature.
- How scientists are using their understanding of these systems to help improve our food.
