Sensing Evolution was originally created as a scavenger hunt mobile trail of some of the Museum's displays. It used specimens to unlock crucial ideas about evolution: how does life adapt, how does it change, and how did we get to be here at all? Since the Museum's displays have changed, the mobile app is no longer available. The videos from it, presented by Steve Backshall and Alice Roberts, are still available below.
