BBC Prehistoric Autopsy

Published: 21st November 2012 13:49

Come face-to-face with our prehistoric ancestors in the BBC Prehistoric Autopsy roadshow at the National Museum of Scotland.
To coincide with the BBC series Prehistoric Autopsy, BBC Learning is going on the road with a new hands-on event aimed at families with children aged 7-12 years old. Visitors will come face-to-face with three of our earliest ancestors: a Neanderthal, a Homo Erectus and an Australopithecus Afarensis.
The centerpiece of the roadshow are the actual models used in the television series which have been rebuilt in extraordinary detail based on fragmented remains of ancient bones and the latest scientific research. There will also be interactive activities and games and a chance to recreate some of the shell decorations that our ancestors may have once worn.
Professor Alice Roberts, Dr George McGavin and a team of international experts will bring BBC Two viewers face to face with three of the most iconic members of our prehistoric family.
Date: Fri 23- Sun 25 November
Time: 10:30-16:30
Venue: Learning Centre, Level 2, National Museum of Scotland
Cost: free, drop-in, for families with children age 7-12 years
