Description

Take your kids on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Field Museum (and lunch!) with Neil Shubin. In addition to being a really fun tour guide, Neil is a Lab parent and the Bensley Professor of Evolutionary Biology. You'll see dinosaurs and other fossil creatures, as well as many more priceless treasures locked behind the scenes at the Museum with your expert guide. The electrifying discovery of Tiktaalik roseae in the Canadian Arctic in 2004 gave Neil Shubin the evidence he had relentlessly pursued for two decades. This fossil, which revealed an amphibious creature with the gills and scales of a fish but the neck, shoulders, arms, and fingers of a land-living animal, was hailed as a proverbial missing link in evolution. Neil has also survived appearing on The Colbert Report! Value: Priceless
