The National Museum of Natural Sciences (MNCN-CSIC) is hosting the exhibition Evolution, a photographic display examining biological processes and biodiversity from September 30, 2026, to March 28, 2027.

Organized by the Spanish Society for Evolutionary Biology (SESBE), the exhibition offers a visual journey through the mechanisms that have allowed living beings to adapt and transform over time. The display features work by various photographers who document animal life and their environments.
The exhibition is structured around several thematic axes. These include the habitat as an ecological stage where species interact, as well as the phenomenon of coevolution. Additionally, it addresses sexual selection, a fundamental concept for understanding the development of physical traits and reproductive behaviors in nature.
The exhibition also dedicates space to social evolution, examining forms of cooperation among individuals. The tour concludes with a reflection on the Anthropocene, analyzing how human activity has altered ecosystems and global biodiversity.
