This activity will occur within the context of Take Your Child to Work Day at the National Institutes of Health. While animals may look very different from one another on the outside, their shared ancestry is apparent in their skeletal structures. Children participating in this event will have the chance to see evidence of common animal ancestry by comparing bones from different types of creatures. The activity will be led by NIH scientists knowledgeable about evolutionary biology.
