Issue 10

The 10th issue of Evolve hears from the people living and working in Antarctica in order to conserve Scott’s hut and its extensive artefact collection at Cape Evans on Ross Island, where temperatures can reach as low as -30 degrees Celsius at this time of year.

We also begin a 4-part series of articles to commemorate the centenary of the public unveiling of Piltdown Man. In this opening feature, Karolyn Shindler reveals the exhausting and painful search of one intrepid scientist to discover early humans, just a year before the forgery was unveiled.  

From photography to hand-coloured prints, we chat with winner of the Eric Hosking Award for the 2011 Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition, Bence Mate and learn how, and why, one of the best known and most valuable natural history books ever produced – The Birds of America – was disbinded and reproduced by the Museum, some 180 years after it was originally issued. And TV presenter, writer and adventurer Ben Fogle tells us why he is inspired by the Natural History Museum.
