ONE MILLION YEARS OF HUMAN HISTORY EXHIBITION!!


Over the summer I travelled to The Natural History Museum to see the Britain: One million years of the human history exhibition! So now I will tell you if its worth going to! 

"Quick tip: If you want to travel to the museum then go by train its super easy and you don't have to worry about parking. There are museum assistants that will guide you to the museum outside the station."
First BUY TICKETS BEFORE HAND! You get to skip the queue to buy the tickets and go straight in. The good thing about this exhibition is that it's really quiet and less crowded compared to the rest of the museum. This is awesome because you can take your time and really enjoy the exhibition. The exhibition is not very big but there is a lot of information packed into it. My favourite pieces include the worlds oldest footprints that were found in Norfolk and the wide variety of tools created by early humans!


These were a cast of the world's oldest foot prints. Around 900,000 years ago a small group of humans walked along the mudflats of a large river estuary at Harrisburg in Norfolk. their trail was preserved because their footprints became quickly buries by tidal sediments. In may 2013, coastal erosion exposed them. footprint analysis suggests both children and adults were in the group.



These were tools created by early humans to help kill and butcher animals while hunting!






These were the comparisons betweeen early human skulls and todays! 
This monkey was actually hilarious!!







This was a female lion that would have been found in trafalgar square. Some remains of these lions were dated to around 125,000 yeard old! the lion would look the same as today's but would be considerably larger!!



Next was the best part of the whole exhibition. There were human remains and tools but the most amazing thing was the figures created that brought the whole exhibition alive. 











I loved the whole exhibition and would highly recommend it. if you are interested in the life of early humans or you want to have something interesting to look at then definitely go and see it
As always, Seemal
