Happy #DarwinDay! The Great Charles Darwin was born #OTD, 1809. During the first two years of his voyage aboard HMS Beagle, he collected a considerable number of fossil mammals from South America. Those discoveries sparked the theory of #evolution ⚒️🧪 paleonerdish.wordpress.com/2016/04/06/d...

It is International Day of Women in Science! For this ocassion, a thread on influential women that illustrate prehistoric life🧵 Marta Szubert. Creator of one of the first to-scale feathered dinosar models (1997). If you've been to Poland or Slovakia, you've probably seen her models on display.
